My tanks run at 78 during the night up to 82 during the day. Just got back from 9 days in Jamaica, guess what The Temp Fluctates 3 degrees in the natural ocean from Day to Night. It is perfectally alright for your tank to flucate a few degrees. One secret to keeping my tank cool...

Here is the pics of the tank, i just set it up memorial day, i combined my old 48 gal and my 29 gal reefs to make it. Currently i have a the sunpod 2 x 150 mh 14k on it. I already have the ballast and the moguel bases. I just purchased the reflector that I am going to use. The...

what size bulbs are you using. I am in preparation to build a new canopy for my 75 gal and I am putting 2 x 400 watt MH's in it. p.s. dont forget to remove the blue film from the reflectors. My buddy forgot to remove it and melted the plastic, such a mess

Well while i was over my buddies house I was checking out his 90 gal set up. He has 2 x 400 watt MH 20k bulbs and 2 x 36" T-5s over his 90 gal and they look great. The tanks looks awsome. SO yesterday I took my 48 gal bowfront and 29 gal reef and combined them into a 75 gal. The only...

In my 75 gal i have 2 x 820 GPH SEIO and I love them. I have also bought 2 Hydor Kores # 3 and # 4 in my 125 gal and they are great. One thing though, knock on wood my SEIO's have been running for over a year no problems, my Hydors have been on my 125 gal for 2 months and...

When the branches are healthy, the branches sometimes fall of as a way of cloneing itself and spreading. Just like when an anenome splits, the tree just split and those are going to be new trees.

i have 2 820's in my 125 great flow, i have 1 820 in my 56 great flow and i have a 820 in my 48 bow great flow. I love them, i placed a 820 next to a nanostream and they are about the same. But everyone will say the MaxiJet 1200 MOD will out perform them both for a...

Just cut and move the guy, the base will grow into a new one. leave about an inch or 2 on the base.

Yes change your metal haide once a year, towards the end of there time you will notice more algae growing on the glass, and the color will have shifted to more yellow. When you change your bulbs, only change 1 and then turn them on and you will see the color difference.

yeah your 150's are good enough

Just remember when ever you break it, living tissue extends down into the skeleton about 1 inch. Most of my frogspawn, which I have fragged many many times over the past few years, i do this. With frogspawn in the tank, take your hand and wave water at it, make it close up. Remove...

I have heard that green board will trap in the mositure over time. Alot of people i have seen, use a plastic sheet to cover the wall to lock out all mositure. here is a pic of what I a talking about. We did this when we were putting my buddies 220 together. It is a really good investment.

yes when you put corals in the tank you should place as low as possible and then slowly move up to where you want it over the course of a month or so. BUT it also depends on what kind of lighting was at the LFS. IF they have there corals under halides and you run halides as long as your...

I am leaning towards your water being messed up. Or you are acclimating wrong. I have been running salwater tanks for 4 years and all 3 of my tank have softies lps and sps in them. I run a multiple of different types of lighting. I have found success which each type. I have shrooms...

CUT hahaha They grow like weeds and I pull them like weeds and give to all my friends, very hard to kill xenia unless your water sucks.

I have found that I give it very little attention. The coral is sitting under a ledge where it is PARTIALLY SHADED from my 2 150 watt 14k halides. During the day it is all small and just looks like a red bump, but about 3 hours after the lights go out and until morning it is big and...

if you notice it sits behind my galaxia, in the first photo, you will notice you only see a small bit of red, becuase the chili is all shrunk up.
