I have an established 75 gallon reef tank for sale. It has been running for a few months, before that everything was in a 55 gallon that had been running for 8 months. It has about 50 lbs of live rock and a 2 inch sand bed. There is a 20 gallon sump in which there is a 7 gallon refugium(5 inch...

I put my angel in with my tang 2 days ago and the tang beat up one it pretty good. Now the angel just hids behind the rocks and wont come out, I can see him kind of hovering around in the back. He wont eat much, if at all. I was feeding him twice a day in qt and have been trying stay on the...

I got a HOB refugium thinking that would work... and like a newb I figured out it was a good way to save time and cheaper than buying and drilling my tank but after reading and researching all this stuff I realized I needed to diy my own sump/fuge. My tank is a 55g, so a 20 long fits really...

Ok so I had my Coralife skimmer running great... Well it came time to clean it, so i turned it off. Soon as i plugged it up bubbles flooded into the tank. I figured maybe it just needed to break back in, well its been two days and its still flooding my tank. Anyone have any siggestions other...

I couldnt get him to eat anything esle today so I put a snail in there with him. He has been knocking the crap out of it. I think he may be trying to eat it... not sure. Any thoughts? He has been nipping at fake coral in the tank as well.

Finally got the fish I've been waiting to get since I started reading about saltwater tanks. Hes in qt right now, everything seems to be fine in the tank other than the trates being at 20. Hes breathing pretty fast and is darting around the tank, hes beein doing this for a day now. I read...

is there anything in particular I need to put in the fuge for him to eat? I have a few pieces of macro algea and rubble in there right now. I put 1000 pods in there yesterday. anything else he might like?

I have a large hob refugium, I think its somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 gallons. Would it be ok for me to put the cbs in there, that way I can get a cleaner? I think that might be a little small for him since it says that its a good addition for a tank more than 50g. What do you guys think?

Ok, so I purchased a cleanup crew and it came with a coral banded shrimp. I really want to put a cleaner shrimp in my tank though. If I do this will they fight or will they be ok? I know you can only have one cbs per tank but I'm not sure if you can mix species of shrimp.

That has got to be one of the nicest tanks I have ever seen. Bummer you have to let it go.

4 watts per gallon so 96w total. i would get 2 50w stealths. It would work better than the single 100w.

Gooduck! I know I did mine from scratch and I wish I would have just purchased one from someone who already had it hooked up. With a nano everything you really need is in the box so starting new with that would be fine. As far as a larger tank I think seeing it hooked up and having all the...

I have a 12g nano and a 55. IMO hold out and see if you can find a 55 in your area on craigs... I know i found a 150g with MH lighs/coral/fish in my area for $500. Had been set up for 3 years and the guy didnt want it in his living room anymore. he said he had over $5000 in it with the 55g...

If I had known what I was doing when I got into this hobby I would have just purchased a reef ready tank and done the sump/fuge. From what I have seen those are just as helpful as the UV for keeping the water clean plus you get the benefit of more "good" bacteria and extra water volume to keep...

I purchased a coralife turbotwist after my tank cycled last week, I had a horrible algae problem and my water was tinged really bad. I hooked it up to the return on one of my filters. You can only have about 110 gph flow for it to actually work and kill everything so if you do buy one it will...

I searched around for an hour or so tonight and found a cpr hob refugium, the large one. It was $175 with the light and pump shipped so I got that. I hope that was the right choice, it was the biggest one I could find and the best price by about $60. My plan is to do a 3 or 4 inch sb, I think...

Who wants to help me find/build a sump/fuge? I would like to put a Coralife protein skimmer in the sump. I would prefer not to get much bigger than a 20G tank if I'm going to be DIYing it. Who has some plans and pics? I've read a bit on here and seen some of the set ups but none of them had...

Thank you very much for all your help and info jpc!
