It does not take very much rock for biological filration so it totally is up to you and the look that you are going for. I personally like the open look with less rock and more swimming room, but others like to pack their tanks full of rock and give their fish no swimming room.

A couple years ago I spent a month in Laos. It would have cost a Water Buffalo for a nice pretty young bride. Of course I am pretty sure that my wife would have ad a problem.

Originally posted by microman2k i feed once a day top off tank once a week with ro/di water from walmart i add a couple times a week: selccon, invert liquid food, iodine, calcium, stronium something, and chopped frozen shrimp/crab Try doing small weekly water changes of 3 gallons once a week...

Originally posted by Squidd Oh yeah, more Live Rock and lose the CC if your using it... Or take some out if your tank is packed full.

I am reading my reef complete bottle ( and typing to ) and it says that it includesCalcium, Magnesium and Stronium in amounts proportionate to typical utilizations ratios ( Ca-100,Mg-5,Sr-0.1 ) It is amazing how well I can spell when I am reading from the bottle:thinking:

If you use RO/DI water then you may need a pinch or so of buffer to bring up PH and alkalinity in your mix up water. When a salt mix like IO says that it mixes to the proper levels it usually means that it mixes to the right levels in tap water since up until recently most people used tap water...

Kent marine is really watered down in all of it's liquid suppliments. Try switching to the Seachem Reef Complete. It is a whole lot more concentrated and also suppliments other elements.

Your tank is pretty new right ( I haven't read any other threads ). If it is young then just let it find it's niche and maintain regular water changes. Saltwater systems are far from stable at first and it will take some time before your tank becomes anywhere near consistant so don't be to...

If it is a flowerpot then the mortality rate is extremely high. They usually require alot of maintnance and very intense lighting.

The ideal reef setup would be as little filtration and as little maintenance as you could do. Hey that sounds like my tank:D Live Rock .5 inch sand bed Bi weekly 10 gallon water changes HOB Skimmer And that is it

You could put on a skimmer at any time. I like the seaclones. Seaclones are not the best nor the most expensive either so you do get what you pay for.

I build stands and canopies for a hobby so if you can get a tank I can make you a really nice set for very reasonable.

people used UGF for many years with great success. My dad had one in a 55 when I was a kid. They are not used very much these days because they do need torn down and reinstalled every so often and the DSB is the rage today.

Here is a picture

Well I am moving back to California in a few months and am looking to sell my 125 gallon tank stand and canopy. I don't trust the movers. As many of you know I built the stand and canopy myself out of Oak. I am taking the reef and filters with me so it is only the tank stand and canopy. I...

Hate to break it to your buddy but the going rate for a 90 gallon with lights is at the most around $500.00 and that is if you are lucky. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.

You may want to wait until it grows more and has more stocks.
