luv your lr. beautiful color to start out with. luv your aquascape. That's a good start. The more void you have btw the rocks, the better to deal with the tank in the long run. Get as most expensive lifestock that you can afford, and is specified to be ok to fit in the tank size you have...

actually, if that lfs didn't try to sell you their filter, they made their points about having a good filtrating sys. I've running my 55g reef/fish mixed and it's packed with corrals with a good number of fishes. I use 2 HOB Marineland BIO-wheel 350. I took the wheels out and used them just as...

I would like to offer you a valuable suggestion here. Are you ready? Let's leave that giant tank in the garage and take time to take those background rock apart. At the same time, go in this forum and start doing alot and alot of reading how to start a saltwater fish tank. And when you stick...

also, let me share the experience I have with this type of light with you. It will generate a tremendous amount of heat both in the room where the tank is in and in the water. Your tank will have an increase of at least 3degrees when MHs get turned on. And that's when MHs are 9in away from the...

The silvery one sitting on sand bed. It is a Lawnmower!! And I am not going to say that again.

when I bought my frogspawn, they had it glued on a pc of rock with that grey expoxy. 3 months later, they fell apart. I had to use 40lb fishline to tie the coral to the rock.

just thought your moon light is kinda bright for your lil seaworld bedtime. I have the same brand light. Mine is the 6 LEDs and I thought it's great. Bright enuf to see the tank, but dark enuf to put everyone to bed

1. moon coral 2. fingers leather 3. evil finger leather 4. candycane

that is a $100 tonga branch there. Mat'l is nothing, labor is something. Hope they stay intact for alongest time

that is blenny mower. see my nickname.. I used to have one. and I hate to say this, but blennies belong to the wild, not for aquarium because they will be starved to dead in aquarium no matter what.

OMG..... that thing costs about every paycheck I get everymonth!!!!! Very pretty, but I can't afford it. So, you know.....I stick with my 55..haha

I really need to get this blur cleared up quickly on how to setup a complete sys for a 150g DT with sump and refug without any major redo. Having said that, could you all please cast your votes on which method is better: 1. Hang on back over flow box with the sump and refuge underneath the DT...

hi Darren, I have a few questions please. 1. Where did you get those 2 black fittings that go into the holes on your 10g? 2. Did you have to glue your 1" connectors where the elbows are onto the black fittings? 3. I looked really carefully into the images and I still couldn't figure out how you...

until you switch over to RO/DI, your tank will go throu this cloudiness and green/brown algae build up for a long time, because tap water contains alot of celica that feeds brown/green algae. Not only that, tap water will do serious damage to any of your saltwater livestock. So, either go to...

3mo old and still that cloudy, that is not right. typically, if you if sandy sand, then it takes only about 3 days to get cleared up nicely. Your filtration system is not enuf. Water circulation is not enuf. What type of water have you been using? Tap water? if so, that is part of the...

ok, so there are 2 groups of answers here. and I do really like everyone opinions. my gut instinct is telling me...uhhh trouble...trouble if I get it. then my bad habit is that I hate to pass up a deal that's available. But I would agree with the hold off idea because I do have so much going...

I have an Orbit 48"long light with 2 mh-130w each and 2 blue light double tubes at 160w. the guy at lfs told me I need to change out all the bulbs every year. Is that true? the mh itself is $50 each at least. and the blue light dbl tubes are like $60each. Wow, I think my bank has a major leak if...
