Anyone know what kind of frag this is?

So I have a 300 gallon reef tank and I need to do an annual bulb replacement and I am wondering what everybody runs and likes. I want to keep the same configuration I currently have but possibly change the K of the bulbs. Right now I am running 3 halides (2 10K and 1 20K) and 4 T5 actinics. What...

So I was just working on my tank and I looked in my overflow and there are bangai cardinal babies swimming in my overflow. My kids are freaking out, they love it. I have never seen anything like this. I don't know what to do. Not sure I can even get them out and if I do not sure they will...

So I have been using red sea coral pro salt. Since then every time I test my calcium it is around 500. I haven't dosed calcium since switching. Does this seem right or am I missing something and should be dosing as well? (I use red sea calcium pro test kit) Thanks 300 gallon reef tank 85...

So I just got a new 300 gallon tank and I am doing the preliminary stages of setup for a reef tank. The biggest tank I had before was 110 gallons so this is much bigger than anything I have done before. I know that I am going to do a refugium and a protein skimmer. What other things do you...

Thanks Beth, Did you place any of the old water into the tank when you did the new setup or was it all new water with all new sand?

So I am intersted in setting up a new tank and I found one used that I wanted to purchase the problem is that it is still currently setup and is being sold with all the livestock, (live rock, coral, fish). Also another factor is it is about 3 hours away not to mention that it is a 300 gallon...

So has anyone owned a clown trigger? That might be the number one reason I want an aggressive tank. Just wondered how they play with other fish.

Hey guys I am looking at getting a custom 250 gallon tank and I was wondering based off of everyone's experience what they loved about aggressive tanks. I have always run reef tanks the biggest being a 120 Gallon, but am intrigued by the aggressive fish. I love the triggers especially and was...

I know review are mixed but most reviews I can find are old so wanted to see if anyone has any experience with glasscages particularly recent? I want to get a custom tank built but I don't want to break the bank. I understand that you can't sacrifice quality with something like this but I got...

Hey Guys, I am looking to get a custom tank built and I have had multiple conversations with glasscages about building this but I can't find any really favorable reviews about their tank work. Anybody else out there who does what they do and does good work but isn't super expensive? (I know...

yeah ok that was going to be my next question, just quick google searches showed 3/8"-1/2" but that makes good sense. Thanks

I am thinking about trying to build a 200 gallon tank (btw I know lots of risks involved, but want to try it), I know this is a loaded question for tank people but would you do glass or acrylic for a tank that size? Also can you get custom glass or acrylic that is 3/8"-1/2" thick at home depot...

Cool thanks that was the insight I was looking for. Anyone else had same experience?

Not really sure, I got into this hobby because I thought that the clown trigger was the most beautiful fish I ever saw, that was 15 years ago and I have always done peaceful reef tanks just thought maybe I would change it up. Always wanted a snowflake eel too but never kept them with corals. I...

Hey Guys, I was thinking about upgrading from my 125 gallon reef tank to a 250 gallon aggressive tank and I was wondering if anyone has ever set up a tall rectangle rather than a long rectangle (hope that make sense)? I have the perfect spot but it would be better tall than wide. I was just...

wow lots of great advice. I've got a couple things left to do I guess. Also the wall is not load bearing. It was framed in to build a small storage closet but it is carrying no load I made sure of that before cutting into it. I can definitely come in there and seal everything up in the room...

Shawn tell me what you mean should have put a header over the tank. Always looking to make improvements.

A while back I asked for advice on moving my tank from main floor to the basement. In the process I decided to build the tank in wall and would like to share how the process went. I would be happy to answer any questions afterwards as well if anyone is curious how I did anything. The tank is...

Do you think 14k with 2 t5 actinics will be blue overkill?
