My estimate is about 6 gallons fully loaded which it's clearly not. I know I should have about a 10g fuge for a 75g tank but this seems to be working pretty well. The skimmer cup is about 4"x4" which is small compared to some units I've seen but it works pretty well as far as I can tell. I clean...

Pompano is down by Ft Lauderdale couple hours south of me. I'm right near Kennedy Space Center. And thanks everyone for the replies!!!!

Oh I totally forgot. I have a bunch of mini bristle stars and micro clams in my fuge. I tried putting ghost shrimp in too but they escaped into the main tank only to be eaten. I have a lot of copepods or amphipods I'm still confused about this. Whatever's in the picture is what I have and they...

He's right about my leds being too weak but I think if I beef them up they'll be able to at least maintain the algae (if the fuge was full of cheato.) Which I hope to accomplish somehow whether I have to buy it or grow it. I bought this led thing because of the stand. It's very tall and very...

I've only seen one so far i guess i need to go get some more corals since mine spewed what looked like eggs into the water is it a female?

some lfs brand fresh/salt active carbon pellets...it's my GH that is really high i stopped at 20 drops which was the highest rating 400ppm. i guess my KH is in normal range 130ppm? I do admit to using a 3 stage filtered water. i know it's not the best but it's all i got right now.

wow i think i just saw my Stomatella Snail spew clouds of eggs into my tank. unfortunately i didnt have my camera with me. he did about 6-10 puffs and returned to his cave. it was also about 2pm when this happened and he usually only starts coming out at 11pm. are these snails a sexual?

yup that looks like it. thanks!

Has anyone had a problem with carbon pellets and water hardness?

He doesn't come out much and I happened to have my camera this time. Any ideas? He's really small and white/blue with some red in the center. Any ideas what he eats?

I also have one that comes out when my first set of lights flick off, pretty late at night. thanks for the id :)

I have cats who are convinced they'll figure out how to get their prizes so I must keep my tops on. The tank is acrylic and I'm actually quite lucky someone altered it to accommodate glass tops before i bought it. There's also about 4 inches exposed on the back side where the cats cant get to...

This is my 75 gallon acrylic reef build (4x T5s 2blue 2white), 6 gallon hob fuge built in skimmer (230 led red orange blue white), 350 penguin canister filter, 40 lbs pink fiji sand 20 lbs fine white key sand, over 100 lbs of various live rock from lfs all over Florida. 9/25 set up as bought...

This might be a little off topic but im trying to cultivate the Sorokin strain of Chlorella pyrenoidosa. Ive read that Chlorella is a fresh water algae but I also read it is found in salt water... Does it just grow better in fresh water?? How would I start algae production? Do I need the strain...
