My 55g reef sits under a wierd stand. I would like to add a 20-30g sump/refugium to it but that is not possible. This is a middle brace that sits inside the stand that seperates the two compartments. I would like to avoid drilling into my wall into another room so I can put a sump. Is there...

I will deffinetly be adding one to my new tank.

Well, once everything is up and running, I'll see what I add. I think Ill start out with 15g every two weeks.

So about a 20g water change once a month should be good? Or maybe a 10g every two weeks? You sure that is enough?

Im looking to upgrade from my 55g reef to about a 125g tank. I plan on having two large islands of rock but not a huge rock wall. Maybe an inch of sand but thats it. I would like to have a tang or two, some community fish, and coral. LPS and softies. I will have a large protein skimmer, sump...

Im really leaning towards the chemical that is messing up my tank. I have brown coloration on my sand and brown film algae all over my glass and rocks. I dont think it is diatoms. I know what that looks like. I think I may have to pack up and start again. Avast! A new reason to go BIGGER!

Well. Im an idiot. About 2 weeks ago, I ran out of prime for my water and went to the LFS to pick some more up. They didnt have my brand so I bough Seachem bundle pack with water clarifyer, water primer, and then this other stuff that prevents "New tank syndrom". Well I thought you were suppose...

I think that they will be fine together. Its shrimp like Fire Shrimp and Coral Banded Shrimp that are aggressive. Ive seen in multiple LFS tanks 30 +/- cleaner and peppermint together for months at a time.

Well, congradulations on getting your Mantis. When you do get a camera, be sure to take pictures. If you ever have any questions feel free to ask. Me or a couple other people will be sure to help you out. I have had trouble myself getting live Mantis but luckily my 3rd one was the charm. She is...

Seen to hit a small problem. My Mantis wont eat hermits if presented in front of her. I have 2 little hermits and a large one wondering around the tank and they have still not been taken out. I presented to her a large Super Tongan Nassarius Snail and all she did was throw it out. She does...

About a week ago I bought two crabs. They were in a tank marked Emerald Crabs. The first one is an emerald crab. The second one the LFS guy scooped up was marked as a Emerald Crab but is black instead of red or green. He is about 2''-2 1/2'' across but looks almost exactly like a standard...

I have on my 55g reef, a Whisper Power filter rated for 60g. Now this thing basically holds gunk and bacteria that I dont need. It collects inside the sponges and filter pads and Im not the best at staying up to date with changing them. I have over 100lbs of Live rock in my tank so I am good on...

The above posts about narrowing down which rock it is in is the best idea. I would suggest doing nightly scans with a flashlight to find which rock it is in. I wouldnt kill it though. Mantis are amazing highly intelligent creatures and people will pay good money for them.

WELCOME! First off, congradulations on getting the tank. The Magnum canister filters are good but one should sufice for your tank. You are going to need a protein skimmer. If you are looking to just have a protein skimmer that hangs on the back of the tank, Aqua C Remora is a very good brand...

Haha I heard that too. Guess Im not the only one.

I play it but for PC. Im a rank 57. Been playin it since it came out. Its extremely fun and I only played COD4 MW1 for about a month and loved it. God damn, trying to kick WoW addicition is awful. I see banners and advertisments EVERYWHERE.

Ya I agree. I just want to get my overflow covered in Coraline. Luckily my lights sit more so over the overflow so it will be easy. I already have some growing on it because I scraped a couple times. Or maybe GSP or Pom Pom Xenia. Ive got to get me some new coral. I already have daisy polyps...

Well untill they are here to observe, I'll be eagerly waiting

Coraline algae?

Wierd. Oh well. I'll just have to wait. Took me more than 8 months to see a large improvement in my 55g growing Coraline. At least its a good sign that it is even spreading have the tank be around 2 months old.
