I just watched that video. Man its so wrong what some people do. I was on this forum the other day and this kid was keeping a coral banded shark in a 75g aquarium. An he said himself how he had already had one die but was trying it again.

Originally Posted by bigarn Ammonia and nitrites are priority. If you have ammonia or nitrites then things are going to be dying. Why would they be a priority to check? You would be able to check them by looking at the tank.

I have had my 180 setup for a few months and have never tested ammonia, nitrate, nitrites. I have had my 75g for almost and year and have not tested any of those either. I have gotten to the point where I can look at the animals and see if they are ok and if not whats wrong. Ammonia will always...

I took all the frags out of the 75 so it can be just a QT. I got a tomini tang and a powder brown tang today, Straight from the whole saler. I just put them in the 75g with the wrasses and will move everything over in a month or 3 weeks if everything is still healthy then.

Is the price at your fish store so high that its worth paying shipping? Isent shipping like 20-40 bucks? I just use IO and get a box of three bags for $30. Looks like the same as most online stores but I dont have to pay 30 bucks for shipping.

Originally Posted by PUFFY_FISH MSX 200 or 250? I have a 200 on my 180 reef with 40 sump and wish I had gotten the 250. The 200 works great but I really think I should have gotten the 250. It really depends on how much of a bio load you are going to have.

MSX skimmers are the best bang for the buck right now. No skimmer can out skim it for the price and watts it uses. I have a 200 on my 180 SPS reef and love it. IMO the only skimmers that could out perform are skimmers such as deltec and bubble king. Which are VERY pricey.

If I were you I would just get a aqua controller JR with a DC4. Then you can controll lights, pumps, heaters, and your cal reactor. Cause you are paying 110 for JUST the PH controller if you buy what you are talking about. For a 100 more you can controll all the other stuff stated above.

If I were you I would just get a aqua controller JR without the DC8 if you do not want it and then buy the PH probe. Cause then you have a PH controller, And if you want a controller for your temp, lights, ect all you need to buy is the DC8 or even a DC4. If you do not know where to get it or...

Well I ended up with 4 carpenter wrasse instead of 3 And I am using my 75g as a QT instead of my 29g. And left my 75g as a frag tank. If I need to treat any fish I will just put them in the 29g to treat them. And this way when I get a tang or two they will have more swimming room in the 75...
