I have been running with phosban and have 600gph and it still clogs. I was wondering the same thing. Next time I will try something else.

The rock has been in a tank for 3 yrs, so it should be fully cured. I will be picking it up and packing in water, and it is only a 2.5 hr drive back to my house/tank.

No opinions:notsure:

Question to group, I have a opportunity to buy 100lbs of tonga shelf live rock from a person who is tearing down their tank. The rock is fully cured it has been in tank for many years. Question is would it be adviseable to add all 100lbs at once, half to display and half to fuge. My tank has...

What kind of rock is it (do you still have). Is it in good condition(no algae, aptasia ect)

I need some advice on getting my PH up, I am running a dual chamber calcium reactor thats been keeping my alk at 10.8DKH and my calcium between 400 and 425 PPM, the problem is my PH at night drops to 8.0 and during the day reaches 8.12-8.14. I sometimes dose with kalk to bring PH up but do not...

That's why I would like to place the VHO's closer then the MH pendants. Thanks for the reply.

I have new mh lights that came in a pendant that hangs above the tank. I would like to add two VHO's but have a question about placement. The MH's are 12 inches above the water but I would like the VHO's to be around 3 inches above. If I place the VHO's so they are not directly under the MH's...

I just upgraded to 250DE's and I set them with my normal 10hr cycle, but placed 4 layers of fiberglass screen over my tank. Every third day i removed one layer. Worked great

If your tank is not drilled then you would need a overflow box and a return pump in the sump powerful enough to handle the flow of the overflow, just make sure that you check the water level in the sump so if a power outage occurs you do not get a wet floor. You should be able to control how...

Thanks for the reply, I used eggcrate before but had 2 gobies jump through and land on top and bake under the MH. I think I am going to try and make a fiberglass screen that surrounds the tank but does not go over the tank. Got some thinking to do. Thanks

Just curious to know how many of you have open top aquariums and if you do have you any problems with fish jumping out. I just upgraded my lights (aquaspace) and now have a open top. I do not wish to put eggcrate over tank because it blocks too much light. Any ideas/opinions. Thanks

I made a auto top off by placing a "t" on my DI/RO line and attatached 1 line to a float in my sump, the other goes to my vat for making water. both lines have a cut off valve to control flow. I also have a sink in my fish room that the DI/RO is hooked and the water is always on. My only problem...

Just got my new lights today, 3 DE 250 14000k mh and 2 95w 50/50pc , looks like natural sunlight, will be couple of weeks before all screens are removed (slow acclimation to new light), but then it will be great:jumping: :jumping: :jumping:

Sounds likem q-tip sponges, not a problem, simple filter feeders

I have 2 in my 180, one shortpine and one tuxedo, the tuxedo is out all the time and eats algae off the glass, the shortspine does stay hidden and has eaten some coralline but has not been a problem. both are good grazers and helped with a hair algae outbreak!!! I would recommend the tuxedo.

Thanks, sounds like a challenging coral. I have it in a cave now and seems to be ok.

I am upgrading to 3 DE250w MH from 3 175w MH, tank dimensions are 72x24x24. currently I have many softies some LPS and somew SPS, will the softies and LPS adopt to the increase in light intensity if I acclimate them slowly or will it always be too much for them.

I have a 55 fuge plumbed into my 180 g. I have 2 built in overflows from the 180, one goes to my sump where i have my skimmer,heater ect. and a return pump . The other overflow goes into the fuge, the 55 sits slightly higher then the sump and has a drilled bulkhead that overflows back into the...

This weekend I gat a new coral from a friend that was moving, It is a stylaster(spelling) (orange lace coral), I have not found much on it except it does not like alot of light. I have it in a cave with good flow but only indirect light. My friend never feed it stated it got all its nutrition...
