I am going to set up a 120 within the next couple of weeks which is gonna be a pretty intense (for me) project. It is going to have a separate live rock tank, refuge, and sump. All four tanks are separate including the display. With obviously needing a ton of Live rock I wanna get it as cheap...

I am waiting to set up my 120. I am So psyched!!! I love the dimensions. Your rock work looks great and that Cap in the Center is unreal. What kind of substrate did you use? It looks nice and clean. I hate when it gets growth on it.

Good question about budget. I guess the cheapest big sump I could get. I have the 30 gallon but with everything going into my basement and the volume of water I am going to have the 30 is not going to be enough. Its gonna overflow. I need something like 55 or so. Everything I see that big...

Think I need a larger sump than the 30 gallon I have. Anyone know companies that sell 50 gallon +? The companies I have found are SUPER expensive!! Suggestions?

The main chunk of it in the front was positioned that way. The piece growing in the back is just it taking over.

Just be careful adding so many fish so quickly. If you didn't even know what diatoms were, be careful what fish you are adding to a cycling tank. Blue powder tangs and others mentioned are really not fish you wanna start a tank with. just my opinion. Pretty pricey

A good business wouldn't worry about $5.00!! Thats ridiculous. Come on SWF.com, give him the petty $5. I'll chip in if you need it. LOL!!

Couple of more

Here is some pics of my 46 gallon bow. The diatoms on the substrate is a on going problem that WILL NOT go away. The tint of brown is due to a nuisance Zenia (or however you spell it) that is taking over and in my opinion VERY ugly. I run PC's and I wish all of my coral was doing as well as...

Thanks Joe, as usual. The importance of flow IS very important. That is why I am taking this so seriously. I know I will have the best quality water possible with the set up you help me out with, but now I want the best flow. The closed loop is not happening and the boxes are just something...

48X24X24 Its a wide tank, specifically the reason I wanted it.

Thinking 2 Koralia 5's. Thoughts, suggestions?

I am not disagreeing it is illegal. I am disagreeing that it would be enforced removing one or two rocks from the beach and placing them in a tank. Trust me some things in law enforcement are overlooked because of the pettiness. Florida might be a little more interested in people in rafts...

You are luck y to have the luxury to just grab rock from the coast. Imo i would especially if others have had such success with it. Illegal my ass. If its washed on shore its the same as removing a shell or a hypodermic needle from the east coast here. Lol

Maybe look for a additive that reduces stress for coral? Otherwise I would just leave them alone, touch them as little as possible. You are lucky your tank didn't crack. BE VERY HAPPY about that.

Yeah I'm thinking Aragonite in my Display and LS in my Refuge
