    Refugium/Sump

    I have to check if it would fit in my stand. I think it would be tight.

    Refugium/Sump

    What size fittings are the two holes in the far side small compartment? What was your plan, skimmer, pump, fuge, in that order?

    Reefers....what does it take?

    Drugs, I am about in the same place as you. I have the FOWLR going well for about a year (lost mny first fish in 8 months today). I am getting the lites this week. I started checking my water more accurately for PH, Alkalinity, Magenesium, and calcium. When I can keep that all well and stable I...

    Feeding Brittle Stars

    When I want to spot feed my brittle or my serpant star I stab a piece of fish or shrimp on a stainless kabob skewer so I can get it right in front of them. They snag it and go into hiding and eat. I'll do this once every week or two when they come out in the light up to the glass and beg. Rest...

    cloudy eye on firefish

    My Coral Beauty died this am. I was wrong, I checked my log and I had her 8 months. She hadn't eaten in a while and I think it was more like HLLE when I looked up the symptons and check pics. I think it was stress/diet as well as water quality. I took my water to two LFS for testing and I found...

    Found a hitchhiker brittle star

    My green one is as large as my hand with a body the size of a golf ball. So far he has not eaten any fish but my goby sleeps with one eye open!

    skimmer question

    ss65 is great, I have two. But be prepared for size as they are pretty big as a HOT. I had to cut the glass tops on both my tanks and visually - you see a lot of skimmer sticking out on top.

    Backgrounds

    My tanks are against a wall but I use the black background anyway as I have HOB and wires to shield. I also did not want the color of the walls to interfere with the tank. I did not really think of light loss when I did it. If you want to view the tank from both sides, which is a cool look, go...

    price for a 90 gal?

    In CT several LFS have the same ad out that for $459 you get 90 gal AGA and pine stand plus full glass lid and basic light strip. Not drilled, no sump. Black or oak. I can only guess all the LFS for the holiday will have the same deal going on. I'd use that for the ball park as you shop around.

    LR and Skimmer

    I bought decent base rock off the web for under $2 per pound. I then added some live rock at $6 per pound. The base rock now looks just as good as the live rock and is purpled up nicely. The baserock is actually full of holes and nice and light. I have seen some homemade that is not as nice...

    aqua c remora questions

    Mine was very temperamental. It worked when it wanted and only when it wanted. I tried the overflow box, different pumps, different hights. I gave up and went back to a venturi model. Live and learn and go with what you know. Good luck.

    Time for a Tang?

    So far so good. Tang looks nice and healthy and is swimming well. I have watched him/her eat the sea veggies off the clip and I also at times have used some Algae flake just to make certain it ate. I think one more week and I will move to the DT. And yes, this will be the last fish in that 72 so...
