    sump/overflow versus canister help???

    I'm somewhat new to the saltwater arena and want some advice. Is it really MUCH better to have a sump with overflow, etc. versus just having a "professional" type canister filter. From what I can tell the obvious benefit is hiding the equipment such as heaters, U/V, skimmers, etc. with the...

    tank size??

    While keeping cost in mind.... I would like to upgrade the size of my saltwater tank. I currently have a 75g and would like a bigger tank to have a couple tangs or similar sized fish. My budget would be happier with the cost of a 125 versus the cost of a 180 or 210. Are there any MAJOR...

    Opinion my fish in a 55 gallon

    Not trying to be rude, but you have enough fish in there for a 125 gallon tank. You might want to upgrade to a larger tank to house all of those fish along with a different type of filter such as a canister or a wet/dry and try some sand instead of the coral for a bed.

    Need help with lighting

    Can I switch the lighting period to later in the day, I would like them to be on when I get home from work and in the evening to see the fish. This way, they will be off when I get home for the most part. I can leave the same lighting timeframe, just later in the day??

    Powerhead questions??

    Yes, I have a hang on protein skimmer, but it's not from that because it's still there when I unhook it. It CLEARLY comes from the powerheads when they are turned on, I know that they are not too powerful because I've had other powerheads in the past and had the pressure turned down so low that...

    Powerhead questions??

    I use Oceanic salt, dont know if that matters or not. How long should you wait when you mix your saltwater before adding it to your tank?? I'm positive it's not sand.
