I have a domino and a perc clown who are best friends. They swim around together like there are dateing or something. I dont have any anemones for them to fight over meby thats it?

I have a few Big chunks of "Lava" rock in my 29. They started as base but I would say now are liveing, and coverd with corline. I havent had any problems with leaching anything bad into the tank. That being said my Calcium is always on the high side.. Could be from the rock I dont know. Also...

Just wanted to toss my 2 cents in on the whole stand thing since I just built one for a 135. The only thing I can say for those of you building stands for bigger tanks is, you want the 2x4s or 4x4s (over kill if you ask me) sitting right on the rails. The only way I can explane this is if you...

Im sort of new also.. had my tank up for about 3 months. But I dont think that would kill live rock. The live part of it is the bactria that eats ammonia and nitrites... Some one correct me if im wrong? what makes you think its dead?

I like your rocks, nice looking tank all around. That stand looks sweet too. You should have lots of places to put corals with that rock. High and low spots for corals that need more/less light. looking good.

I use RO/DI water from LFS. Since I havent been changeing water I have added trace elements a few times. I planed to do that every other week or so. Other then that I add PH buffer.. use to have low ph. I add Calcium also when it drops below 450ppm. Thats all I have been doing.

I have had my 29 gal up about 9 weeks now and so far every thing is goine very well. My question is this. If my water peramaters are good.. should I still do a water change every week? My ammonia is always zero, my nitrites are always zero and my nitrates where at 30 last week, this week at...

Yeah im leaning toward the 3/250s Im hopeing that I can use some of the PC lights I have to accent the MHs. Right now All I have on my 29 is a 24 inch 50/50 65watt and a 30 inch 50/50 130watt I was thinking pick up another 30 inch 130 and try and place them evenly. I dont know the exact...

Not shure about that. I dont know if Im goina set up the 135 yet or not. If I do Ill probly turn the 29gal into a fuge. Im gona be moveing in about 9 months so, Im debateing if I should set up a huge tank just yet. Moveing a bunch of fish and coral sounds like a pain. Any one ever had to do it?

Well I almost did, but Im not selling it. I thought it would fall under Equipment. Any how, Im picking it up on sunday...woot Im gona need lots of help setting this one up! My 29 was complicated for me lol. I was shocked that he said he still had it. Im planning to go with MH lights. May take me...

This is my thread about DIY moon lights that I made. Its realy easy trust me. Id be happy to help you if you have any questions when start wireing them. https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/showthread.php?t=165065 As far as heat, how hot do you think it will be where you are mounting them? I would...

Same here, I always freak and take some water to LFS and they tell me its zero lol. I found looking at the test tube in the light of my tank helps out. I have coralife 50/50 lights. I look though the toube at the light and it look much brighter like the zero reading.

Well, I just responded to this add... I hate to part with this beautiful tank, but we are moving and there is no room to set it up. 135 gallon glass aquarium with wet/dry filter, submersible pump(fairly new), tubing, glass top, reef supports, light that holds 2 flouresent bulbs , heater and some...

Well my tanks been up and running for like 6-7 weeks now. I have to say everything is going great. I tested my water agine today and its near perfect (nitrates <10 wish there where zero :P amonia 0, nitrites 0 Ph 8.1) . I couldnt have done it with out all the helpfull people on this bord...
