I just got the 29 gallon up and running... found a hermit crab and shrimp in the rock which was kinda cool. I also found out the tank had been up and running for 3 years ( !!! ) so i think I will have no problems adding corals soon. The lights are 30" Coral life 2x65 watt with 5 leds (which are...

Today I am moving the tank out of the guys dorm into my GF's house for the summer (I go to school in OH but am from FL). I will post pictures once I have everything hooked up but here I have a few questions. How much of the water should I try to salvage being that there is no live stock, (I...

I was thinking about a QT tank but here is my question, if i did a QT tank could I throw out the sand and just keep some rock in there with a powerhead and normal output flourescent fixture?

***UPDATE*** A friend of mine found this deal for me so i am going to upgrade the tank soon... 29 gallon tank protein skimmer 30" Coral life PC lights (about 96 watts total) 3 power heads (maxi jets i think) An external dual chamber filter (going to either scrap it or make it into a fuge)...

right now I have a 2x30 fixture (normal output) BUT i think the bulbs are only 15 watts, so 30 total. I was thinking of upgrading my lighting so i dont really want to dump money into bulbs i am only going to use for maybe 2 months but if you think it 1.) it would significantly increase my...

do you still have the lights? i am interested? i have no idea how i would pay, I am assuming paypal, but I am interested

Ok, but what about this? I am moving out of my dorm and into my apartment at the end of the month so no matter what I need to break everything down and move it a block down the street. WHEN i do this, SHOULD i add a plenium or just increase/decrease sandbed? also just a side question, how can I...

That is an insane PH! what # is that? a 4? 5?

Ok thanks everyone for the input! Michael, that was a great link you sent me and after reading it I found that cyno can range from greenish to red to straight black. After looking at the "hair" it is actually more of a dark purple to black, so it is def. cyno. Scopus, I think what I will do it...

Sure, sorry about that I should have included more information to begin with. Currently I am running a DSB of probally3 inchs maybe? I am not exactly sure but I woudl say on average 2-3 inchs. I have probally about 40 lbs of LR and a HOB filter, BUT i just took the media filters out because they...

that might just be a phase to be honest with you. Clowns can be very territorial IMO. I had a false perc for about 3 months and then one day out of the blue he started to attack my LION!!! have you thought about maybe getting a small carpet anemone? your clowns should host it and this may take...

I have a 20 gallon long up and running no for about a month. I am now getting an outbreak of black "hair" algae (i made that up) I dont know if this is algae or bacteria, can someone give me an idea of what 2 do and how to fix it

I am getting an outbreak of what appears to be a black algae? It is kinda like hair, flowing with the water. I don't think this is very good, any idea what it is/what i should do besides a water change

I sure will! i check that thread out a few times a day

thanks acroshark, I was planning on doing exactly ewhat you said, except that I have no idea what chemi-pure is (is it like a media filter?) I am not running a skimmer yet and honestly dont think I need one but what I might do is upgrade to a 40gallon breeder in about 2 months and use acrylic to...

I have a emperor 400 external bio wheeel filter (has media filters as well). This model of external filtration has to "chambers" with the intake in the middle of them. Please tell me what you think of this plan.... 1.) I want to cut the intake tube down to a shorter length. The tank in only 13"...
