Well... I FINALLY decided to get rid of the UG filter... I didn't realize it but someone explained to me how the UG filter prevents live rock from doing it's job... and also the other day when I went back to the store that sold me the tank to buy some more live rock, I noticed how even their...

Yeah I'm planning on adding the stars last (if at all), so I imagine the tank will be well established by the time they come in. Youch I didn't realize the nudibranch will nuke the tank if it dies (the site that I found them on didn't mention that lol). Ok so the nudibranch is out. Taking...

Yeah its just a list of possible considerations. Hmm... funny thing about the Blue Tang is that on this site I noticed it says minimum 180 gallons but on some other sites they are saying 40 gallons is acceptable. Also at the office that I work in there's a guy who has a 29 gallon biocube with a...

Hey Flower thanks for your advise. I feel a little more confidant about my UG filter now lol. I found a neat artilcle online that had some great tips for running a UG filter in a saltwater tank that honestly does not sound like there's really any additional work other than what I was expecting...

Thanks guys, For what its worth I've set the tank up running the UG filter. I found a handy article online on how to maintain an aquarium using this filter and I figured since I have the tools for the job I might as well give it a go... At the moment it only has about half as much live rock as...

Woops there was an issue with my password so I had to create a new username... I assure I'm the original poster :) Anyway my apologies I didn't mean to post a competitor's site it was just for informational purposes about the tank.. but I'll remember that moving forward. I'm going to keep...
