Ok here is what my current 55G w/ overflow setup looks like using a wet dry filter. I want to somehow convert my wet dry into a fuge but there isn’t much room to work with. I was thinking if maybe I can fill the overflow section of the tank with LR rubble. Then use the bioball chamber in the...

I wish I would have known about this site before going out and buying my wet dry and all the bio balls. Can I keep the LR rubble in the overflow corner of the tank even though they won’t be fully submerged? The way I have the overflow setup the water just trickles own into the hole in the bottom...

Guys thanks a lot for the recommendations. I think I'm leaning towards removing my bio balls in the tank and letting the algae grow. My question is, the water flows through the filter and into the bio-ball chamber. If I remove those bio balls and just keep a light pointing towards the water will...

Your tank looks nice. Looks like I definitely need to beef up my clean up crew and add a skimmer then. Thanks for the info

I have heard of adding plants in the sump to reduce nitrates. The thing is I dont have any lights inside my stand and my "sump" is kind of small. What needs to be done to support these caulerpa plants/algae. Please bear with my newbie questions I'm still trying to learn as I go. Thanks

First let me describe my setup. I have a 55G with 50 lbs of live rock and about 40 lbs of live sand. I'm using a wet/dry without a skimmer. Here is my current livestock list: Gold Stripe Maroon Clown Domino Damsel (huge bully) 3 Stripe Damsel Bicolor Angel Small Spanish Hog sally lightfoot...

You can also pick off some small critters that you find in the patches of seaweed. You can find small crabs and shrimp in there and would be easy to catch.

I understand your point but like others have said here, it comes from the ocean regardless who takes it. The rocks I'm talking about are rocks that are lying in the floor and not touching any coral. I mean do you really think if I take 70 lbs of rock from the ocean that I will harm the eco...

Yeah I totally understand about harming the coral and other wildlife. I've seen rocks that I could pick up without doing any harm to the surrounding area. I've been told by my LFS that its not a good idea to get LR from the ocean but didnt specify why. Maybe because he sells them for $6/lb, that...

I live right near the ocean and routinely go snorkeling a few miles offshore. Can I take LR from the Ocean from a clean source (not the beach) and use it in my tank. I'm about to setup and start cycling my 55G so the rocks would go into a fresh tank. I'm planning to have only LS,LR, and fish no...

Can you post a pics of the lights and does it include the bulbs

Wish i would have seen it sooner, oh well.

No that wont work for me, sorry about that. Thanks anyways

Puffer, you still have the lights?

TeresaQ I am interested if it fits a standard 55 G tank. How much would it be to ship to miami (33125)? Can you post some pics? Thanks

whitey, thanks for the advice. Makes sense nickadam, does the kit include everything I need or will I need to buy additional equipment? Thanks

I'm really new to this hobby so I m not too familiar with the difference bewteen lighting systems and their uses. I'm only going to have LR and fish for now. Do I really need the halide's? nickadam and oohmiller can you post some pics. oohmiller does that incluide the bulbs? Thanks

Thanks for the tips.

I just bought a 55 G and have all the equipment minus the lights. The tank will have LR, LS, and fish only so I dont need any fancy lightning. Anybody willing to help me out? I'm in Miami by the way. Thanks

What are you asking for the lights and would you ship to miami (33125)
