Any other filter equipment used other than 2 canister filters? What kind of skimmer?

never settle. look at all tanks and spend the money up front and get it done right the 1st time. Get a wide tank, the extra depth will help in rock layout. A standard 55 is only 18 inchs wide, 24 inchs + will visually look better and give you more options. Also get a euro braced tank or spend...

Older book but still good The Conscientious Marine Aquarist: A Commonsense Handbook for Successful Saltwater Hobbyists

I always test my lfs's for water quality. One store here keeps there fish in hypo-salinity and also had an amonia spike when I purchased a fish from them one time. Never been back. LFS are in business to make $$$$. Be carefull who you buy from.

find the skimmer your thinking about purchasing online and look at the recommended pump

I had a spike when my skimmer pump propeller broke and I did not catch it for a couple days. My skimmer was offline for a week while I ordered my replacement. I was doing small water changes while it was shipped out but it still didn't help. I'm going to purchase a spare pump for emergencys...

Which is the worst for causing algae 1. Ammonia 2. Nitrates 3. Nitrites 4. Phosphates 5. Other I have my top 2 picked out but I would love to hear what others have to say Thanks

1st off what type of corals do you plan on keeping?

I like to 10k for the brightness but the blue actinic to make corals pop is awsome. The 14k looks better to me.

It will increase mag but I believe it also intoduces silicates into the system. Can't remember for sure so hopfully someone else will chime in.

Increase flow and keep up on water changes. Tank is young.

external pumps are used to lower the exchange of heat into the water. I run a in-sump mag pump which will transfer heat into the water. I would recommend an external pump if your having issues with water overheating.

I should have wrote how I do it. I run a oversized skimmer and inject ozone lots of flow I also run a nitrate reactor, phosban reactor and carbon

I would like to hear how most people approach eliminating Nitrates and phosphates.

That's horrible. Sorry for your loss. This might also be a good time to end your relationship if your looking for an out. J/K :)

Call Aqua C and purchase the 1 inch injector(cost is $10) but the performance will be worth it. These skimmers take back pressure to perform.

Do fish eat this algae? Thank you for the quick responce Great picture!!!

what type of macro algae is this? I know it's a poor pic but it's the best I can do right now. The plant is light green with little tiny balls growing at the tips
