Yes, actually i just bought 4 glass pieces rated to stand head up to 500 degrees. I also have two 5 inch elec fans the fit under the open back of the canopy and blow in directly at the 250 wat halides. Are you telling me to remove the glass top. I would much rather not have them there, but i...

I have a 75 gallon tank and with the sump and tank it actually holds around 75 gallons of water. Anyway my temp fluxuates from about 82 at night to 86 during the day. Is this a problem and if so which chiller should i buy, and if i buy one should i buy one with the uv sterilizer built in...

Yes, i used live argonite for the bed, i did not use the water from the 29, but the 29 was just basically full of rocks for the last few weeks. Also what is you opinion on time frame for adding fish. thanks for all the help from everyone... as far as the tank size goes i thought it went to...

No none of my fish jump. I thought you have to use a glass top, i guess i never really thought why, but can i really do without it. What would happen if a splash or something was to splash on the light bulbs, would they shatter, i would think so. Is this really a viable solution or not. i...

What is the best material to use for a cover on my tank. I have two 250 mh's and keep breaking glass. Will acrylic melt, if so what can i use that will withstand the heat. thanks and i can't move the lights any higher they are in a canopy..

How big of a tank do you think you need per tang. I am curious, i was planning having 3 or 4 tangs and the clown pair. I wasn't planning on getting show size or anything, but the reason i bought the 75 gallon tank is so i could have tangs. I think the only difference between the 75 and up to...

I though about the test kit thing and ended up buying another one. The one i use now is the aquarium pharmicuticals saltwater master test kit. As far as the nitrates reading 0, i am not 100%. As you know the colors are sometimes hard to read perfectly. The nitrates appear to be 0 or very...

saltwater... I have already said all i can think to say about the cycle question... NO, the yellow tang didn't go into the tank the day it was setup, after a few days with no measurable levels of anything i was testing for i put in the tang.. and finally, yes, after weelky water changes and...

As far as wild goes they were bought from *Link Removed*, i thought they were wild, but maybe not..... what is that dipping you are talking about. i have heard of dipping in fresh water....
