It worked for me. Where are all of the guts for the tank? Nice looking system.

I know that there are many that don't think a UV steralizer is appropriate for a reef tank, but I have one on each of my mine. I add DT's phytoplankton 2-3 times a week for any nutrients that may be killed off by the steralizer. I, by no means, consider myself a 'reef professional', as ar...

Yeah, shipping is $7.00 - $10.00. I don't remember exactly. I haven't bought any in about 2 months. Premium Aquatics in in Indiana and I live in Michigan, so I can use Airborne Express ground (which is about half as much as UPS) and it gets to me in 2 days. I get all of my dry goods from...

I buy a 200 gallon bucket for that same price from ***************.com. (+ about 7 $$ for S&H). Also, they have Miracle Mud for $45.00.

"Chemically treated ions". If you chemically treat an ion, doesn't it become no longer an ion. I was at a health food store once and saw "high oxygen water, with an extra oxygen atom attached to each water molecule". So doesn't that make it H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide). Hmmm.

I think that you had that backwards, but: For ten years I have used both, depending on which one was on sale. I have 3 tanks (75,90,120), so I have done a lot of water changes. I have never found a difference. I have never examined my water on a microscopic or cellular level, which I'm sure...

For instance, in my 90 gallon, I have about 5 dozen smails and 4 dozen blueleg hermits. Well, that's how many I put in. I'm sure that some have died and I have seen many babies. I don't know how many is too many, but I haven't found that number yet.

I had a similar tank about 5 years ago. I used a metal halide light that hung from the ceiling. The light hood and cord are white so it wasn't obnoxiuos or anything. It provided more then enough light for a 55gal hex tank filled with inverts. It still sits in my basement (both the tank and...

I started 10 years ago when I first started med school as a "stress reliever" (Only added for the first year). Information wasn't as 'available' then. I now have three reef tanks: 75, 90, 120

If anyone can do this, I highly recommend it. When we had our house built, I had rooms bulit in the basement that were directly under my tanks. My sumps are in the basement directly beneath the tanks. Since that part of the basement is always 65 degrees, my tank never changes temperature...

2 of my three sumps are in the basement. A tank will drain only as low as the water return pipes are. I have 3/4 inch PVC going the length of my tanks with three outlet valves. The water outlet pipes are submerged only about 2 inches. That means that if there is a power failure (I live in...

6 110w VHO on each tank. 4 white and 2 blue

Old Yeller, the bio balls in the eco-system are there only to trap the large particles. Not everyone has the ability to build one for $60.00. Although I am very capable of making one myself, I bought an ecosystem for each of my tanks. It was much easier to just take it out of the box and...

I saw a reef tank today (90 gallon) that had a bubble coral in it that had a diameter of at least 30 inches and was at least 12 inches tall. Obviously it took up a major portion of the tank. It was huge! Has anyone ever seen one that big?

I have 6 VHO on each of my tanks. 4 actinic white and 2 blue on each one.

I add Tropic Marine Bio-Calcium 2-3 times a week to keep my Ca 400-450. I add DT's phytoplankton 3 times a week, Reef Solution 3 times a week, and keep my Kh at 9-10, adjusting as necessary with a Kent product. I "harvest" the macro-algae as soon as it reaches the surface. It's 'goal' is to...

All three of my tanks have an eco-system. Some don't think that they are worth the money, but I wouldn't have a tank without one. All of my water parameters are perfect and I change 10 gallons in each tank once a month. I'm sure there are other systems that work just as good, but I wouldn't...

I have had three of my clams for over 5 years. I bought my last one 2 years ago and they are all still alive.

Everybody has a different opinion. My last tank (120 that I started 2 years ago): I circulated it for one week before I added the live rock. I let it go through the brown algae stage (about another 2 weeks) before I started adding inverts. I had nothing die. Others might suggest different...

I have 2 clams in each of my three tanks. I use VHO lighting for each. I have had some of them for as long as 5 years. No problems
