That makes perfect sense to me...the people with bowfront issues claimed that if they adjust one power head to create flow, other areas were dead spots, and no matter how much they tweaked the PHs nothing worked. Lots of folks chimed in with how hard bowfronts were to get the flow right... I...

I was going on what others have had a problem with. LOL...Folks tell us what problems are, but often nobody speaks up when things go well. Because of that I think bowfronts get a bum wrap, they really do look nice, I like the wave on too.

Hi, Bowfronts and the wave looking tanks are pretty, but a nightmare to get good circulation throughout.

LOL..Flower Power, I love it! I'm disabled, so I understand the frustration of having to ask for help with stuff you usually could do yourself. Let your family help, it will build THEIR character, LOL. Did you rinse your sand in saltwater, or did you buy dry sand? Anyway, add some more water...

Hi, I never wanted to have an item shipped directly to me, I couldn't swallow the loss... The only tank shipped to me was a beautiful (made by people on this site) hand crafted 2 part sump/refugium that the UPS gorillas destroyed, and the farce of insurance that my friend paid for and was not...

How long has your set up been up and running? Silicone won't stick to plastic, any little movement and it will all come apart. I tried everything, and finally had a class cutter make baffles for me to put on my glass tank. It's been some years, have they improved silicone?

Hi, The Lemonpeel was my all time favorite fish after the seahorse, I've had two over the years. A dwarf angel doesn't need too much swim space, they like to go in and out of the rock work, so make some caves. They only get to be about 4 inches, I have never seen one 6 inches...maybe in the...

Hi, JMO...Anemones are beautiful fish killers. In a small tank the fish can't get away from them. They eat anything dumb enough to get too close. They have no brain, no eyes...just a mouth and an anus. They follow the flow of the water, which means they have a tendency to get sucked up into the...

Hi, Some people like hermit crabs, they are entertaining, but they kill and eat the snails. The CUC is usually large enough to keep the tank clean, but if you add too many at once in a new tank, they may not have enough to eat, and starve. Personally, I say build your own CUC, and get what you...

Well, you just earned one prayer mention each day until you are 100% and no longer need Chemo. I hope this project is everything you hope for.

I never used a wave maker in all the years I've kept SW tanks. One fellow advised me against them, he said they can create such a turbulence from one side to the other, that it splashes the water over the rim... (years ago, I'm sure they fixed them since then) The point is...you don't have to...

Hi, LOL, When it comes to saltwater fish...depending on the fish you select, you might only be able to keep only one fish in a 100g tank. A Dwarf angelfish would be prefect for a 40g to go along with what you already have. Then IMO you would be at your limit for the 40g. Saltwater fish are not...

LED lighting is the new rage, and that means expensive. $180.00 is pretty cheap for LED lighting. The full spectrum, like the lights you showed can do low light corals, there are others on the forum better able to assist on how strong your LED lighting needs to be for the more light demanding...

Mandy, Thanks for the heads up! I have never heard of Seachem Matrix. I love my Seachem test kits, they make a good product, I trust the brand. I know Instant Ocean put out an additive that claimed to remove nitrates. It didn't work for me, but it's been many, many years since I even looked into...

Hi, That looks much like the full spectrum LED light I have. It is only good enough for low light corals, it will make the fish colors pop

Hi, I'm not familiar with the nano cubes built in filters. I do know the ceramic beads (bio-rings) work on the same principle as live rock. You can replace them with rubble rock, their purpose is to give surface area for good bacteria to grow on. You can put anything you want in the baskets...

Hi, The beauty of a canister filter is how versatile it is. You can put anything in the baskets you want or need. I ran carbon in the bottom basket. I would also opt for a spray-bar, that will give you plenty of surface movement and free up a power head.

For the purpose of debate...You are absolutely right, I jumped to conclusions about work and using the phone, and I was wrong to do that. I'm afraid I'm a bit literal when I read something, I'm not very good at between the lines meanings, I had never seen the way you looked at it, and now I do...

LOL..+1 on what Pegasus said...and I just want to say hello...

Yep...bad day, I do get dark moods. Seacrabrun did say that she refused to call, that she didn't want to talk to them on the phone... She said "There is one store in particular that I asked a simple question online, do they have any acans at the moment, and they message me back that I should...
