Sorry for the cloudy, nasty looking water. Still making the RODI water so it's a bit time consuming when it takes an hour to make a 5 gallon bucket. I might be cycling water by tonight...lol. I still have to hook the cables to the viparspectra light and hang it, paint the egg crate lid so it...

Like I said, it's still dirty. Now that I look at it, I should have painted the inside when I did the outside.

it's ok...I kinda figured...lol

I can post a pic but I want it to look a little cleaner that what it is. I just got it and am still setting it up.

so, bio balls AND live rock won't be better?

Yes...that's why I wrote that I'm separating the two pair when the 75 gallon is cycled.

Area for the live rock won't support both the rock and the skimmer. But I do have it figured out that I can put the skimmer on the end. Was thinking of putting bio balls around the skimmer just for an added measure. What are your thoughts?

Hence my purchase of a 75 gallon...lol. Been making RODI water for two days and still trying to fill it up. I had planned on once it's cycled, separating the pairs.

Two black and two orange. I have four of them in there and they seem to love and enjoy one another.

There are only two compartments. I plan on placing the skimmer in the other compartment once I get a pump for it. But just using live rock in the skimmer makes for good filtration?

with a 112 gallon tank I would definitely go with a sump and viparspectra lights. I actually like using aragonite from Caribsea as my substrate. Been using it for awhile now and have not have any issues. I'm sure your going to get a lot of answers. But remember, it's all opinion.

I have two Darwins and two Ocellaris and they all get along great. They were bought at differen't times and all 4 of them school together. I know it's unusual but I'm happy they aren't fighting.

I just picked up a 75 Gallon tank with stand, Viparspectra light, sump, return pump, Berlin protein skimmer, magnetic powerhead, two wave makers, heater, some smaller accessories and over 100 lbs of live rock for $200! I'm new to having a sump so here's my question. The gentleman I bought it off...

I'm in the process of making RODI water for my new 75 Gallon. Been at it all day...lol!

It seems like a perfectly simple rule to remember and follow.

The 36 is just a review for me. I wanted to remember what I forgot and to learn what has changed since I had my 55 gallon sw 20 years ago. My custom 300 gallon will be ordered next spring / summer. A mistake I know I made was not changing out 10 gallons instead of 5 at a time. Now that I have...

Greetings everyone. I had a 55 gallon saltwater tank about 20 years ago. Recently I decided to start the hobby again. I bought a 36 gallon with a stand (on sale at ***** for $125 for both...I couldn't pass it up) and set it up. Filled it up with tap water, got the salinity level perfect and let...
