    I'm ordering one now. Next question do you prefer GFO or Rowaphos? I hear good things about ROWA.

    I'm in Algae Purgatory, HELP!!!!

    I have done 2 - 20% water changes trying to clean it and I would guess I add about 5g per week of FW RO/DI trying to fight with evaporation.

    I'm in Algae Purgatory, HELP!!!!

    So I tried converting my 240g FOWLR to a what I had planned on being a softie reef but the algae is really starting to PISS ME OFF. I sold all my fish and let the tank sit empty for 30 days so if there was any fish diseases (ich) in there it would be long gone. After a GOOD cleaning and...

    Feeding Corals - My 1st corals (need advice)

    I recently converted my 240g FOWLR to what will be an aggressive reef with a Dragon Moray and 2-3 dozen various Damsels. I had an algae bloom when I changed the lights from PC to 15 HO T5's, but I've added 12 Turbo's and 12 Astrea snails and they are working hard to clean it back to bare rocks...

    NO. You ALREADY need a bigger tank. Both your Lion (assuming it's a Volitan) and Niger get 12" long. I had a Volitan outgrow a 75g in 12 months. A volitan with it's fins open is the size of a basketball. Your lion will more than likely eat your Damsel and Sgt Majors real soon.

    Ever seen a Dragon Moray smile?

    Starting to wonder how successful of a reef this tank can be. My Dragon is literally all over the tank. High, Low, wrapping around decor, up and down....he's like a kid on caffine and sugar [hr] . He has already managed to dislodge a few of the 5 pieces of Kenya tree frags I had in there...

    Ever seen a Dragon Moray smile?

    I moved my 17 damsels and Dragon Moray to their new 240g home downstairs this weekend from their old 75g. The Dragon managed to grab and eat at least 1 and maybe 2 damsels in the process of me pulling all the LR out of the 75g to try and catch them. Believe it or not the stupid damsels were...
