When I moved the reef from my 90 gallon I had a slight algae problem on the sand that cleared up as the tank adjusted. When I added the yellow tang I experienced another slight algae bloom on the sand but that cleared up after about a week or two once the tank once again adjusted to the...

Just so everyone knows, I taught Thomas everthing he knows about Maxijets.;) J/K

What is your livestock count now in your tank? You should be at about the right level pretty soon right. Is this the 37 gallon tank that somebody else had for a year with 9 or so fish and that you recently took over :(

This is the far right of my 125 gallon reef. The tank gets some natural light that moves from left to right as the sun moves across in front of the window. It really shows how bright natural light is compared to my VHO lighting. In the winter when the sun is lower in the sky the whole tank...

Yes they will attack it.:D So please buy a bigger tank or pass on the Naso. Do you plan on taking out the Tellow Tang? Naso's get relly big.

Are you having problems with any of your livestock or algae. If you are not then I would just monitor and not worry until they get up into the 30's. Very low nitrates are nice but even in the 20's nitrates really do little more than cause algae blooms sometimes. Pellet foods I have read are...

Originally posted by Beth It would be appreciated if the flames would quit. lopeyc, bought an already setup tank that, yes, is overstocked and mishandled. That being the case, it seems to me that those who may know more about his hobby might be a little more helpful than hurtful. Take the...

Originally posted by oO BubbaGump Oo jlem: I politely asked that flames be rhetorical. Please have respect for LOPEYC and provide him with some useful information about his situation. I think this would benefit all of us, thanks. Justin I have a 30 gallon tank with a yellow tang and a...

To die in such a just battle shall make us all proud to be reefericans:D :confused:

I think that alot of the time when somebody says that something did not work for them it really is them no working for the system. In my 125 gallon I have live rock and no DSB. I have zero nitrates and no algae problems. I have a pretty light bioload. Now if I put 4 times as many fish into...

I have had both the prizm and the seaclone 150. Do your self a favor and go with the seaclone 150. It works so much better and adjust so much easier. Plus you do not have as many parts to break. The prizm sometimes leaks after the top is removed a few times. I really love the seaclone 150...

Is your tank pretty new. When I moved my 90 up to a 125 gallon tank I experienced the same thing. I closed the blinds to keep as much natural light off the tank and basically just left stuff alone untill the tank once again stabilized enough to handle the algae problem itself. It took about a...

Lionstorm: There is a sure fire way to get rid of nitrates nitrates . Proper stocking levels, proper feedings, and proper maintenance. If you stick to these three things you will have zero nitrates everytime, no matter if you use a DSB,refugium or live rock. The problem with Bob is that he...

I think that a fish or two depending on the size of the tank is an acceptable way to cycle the tank if the bioload is small enough to produce a slow cycle that will not harm the fish with high levels of ammonia. I would much rather have one decent looking small fish rather than a stinky shrimp...

One nice thing with NO is that when you do upgrade to VHO or MH you can use the NO for actinic supplimentation. You can pick up a 2 bulb 40 watts each kit that will mount inside a canopy for only 30 or so bucks.

Is the fugium below the tank. If it is then why would the flow stop from the tank to the refugium once the pump stopped? If the fugium is on top then wouldn't the fugium just drain down once the pump stopped ? Unless the siphon is broken then water will flow untill from somewhere, and one...

What do you plan to keep in the quarantine tank to keep the nitrgen cycle going after your fish go into the main display tank. I would take down the quarantine tank and then when you buy your fish you can set the quarantine tank up and just move part of your biological filter from your main...
