im really jealous... very nice tank. you should get an arcillies tang(spelling?)...haha its my favortite fish

trying to get an idea on what people are running out there... Ive heard that you cant have too much flow...i think Im pushing aroun 40X in my 65...it will be SPS dominant when it matures...i dont know if thats too much...

I got the trigger as a gift...he is tiny..probably 1 inch or 1.5... He should be alright in the 65 for a while right? Im hoping to keep him till he gets more comfortable in the tank to where I can catch him..everytime I walk near the tank he goes in the rock work...

wow..haha i know some of you forgot somebody....

I have just set up a 65 reef with a 20 gal sump filled up with probably 15 gallons. I have a octopus 110 recirculating skimmer to handle the bio load. Im just trying to get an idea on how much it could handle over a period of time. Here is what I would like to see in my tank sometime in the...

get a 20 gal long...or 29

Originally Posted by mkroher Great. I reread your original post. What's in your *other* tank? Where are the fish? the fish are in one of the guys tanks from a local reefing forum, he blocked off one of his tanks from his system that is probably close to 600 or 700 gallons and made it a QT for...

Originally Posted by mkroher A cycled tank just means you have enough bacteria to support it's current bio load. So if you have a lot of live rock, and you just put in a small bio load (piece of shrimp), you probably won't see an ammonia spike. Just to be safe, wait another week. Or add more...

well this isnt my first tank...but lets start this off. It has probably been about a week and half of running. I put 2 dead shrimp in my sump and it is a 65 Gal tank. I bout about 70 pounds of LR and only about 1/4 of the rock was out of water for roughly about 2 hours, for the ride home... and...

Originally Posted by peglet I have black bird netting, would that work or would it block the light from getting into the tank? My one wrasse is pretty big, probably 5 or 6" and the other is a yellow coris wrasse, medium size. What do you guys think about the Hamilton lights? 3x400watt 14K MH...

ill take a look at in my spare time. its running right now, Im seeing if having a fan blowing on that side helps it...

yup thats my tank. I didnt really want to share it with everyone but it happens.... j/k

I bought a used sundpod about a week ago. After of couple of hours burning the right bulb cuts off. It comes back on if I let it sit for 5 or 10 mins.. LFS says it sounds like a heating issue. What do you think? new bulbs too...

are baffles just used for slowing down water movement in the sump and dividing certain sections?

thanks for the help... I just went to home depot and got the fitting I need to actually hook it up to the adaptor instead of holding on to it with my hand. If I run into anymore problems Ill be back! haha hopefully i wont. thanks

so if I seal it all up and turn the sink on full blast...would that be enough? should I turn on both hot and cold? I have an adaptor for the sink so you could hook up a hose and then I got the hose adaptor and when it comes through that little hole it seems to have a good amount of pressure.

I bought my very first RO unit...instructions were hard to understand, i never do good with those things and some fellow hobboyist made it seem like all you have to do is get water flowing through and it works... well I have it hooked up my sink and I just hold the incoming water line( i know, I...

Yesterday I bought some radium 20K DE 150s for my 65, they dont seem to be as blue as the other radium 20Ks. Do they just need break in time?

your tank looks terrible...lets put it in my house! haha just kidding I just got some 20K bulbs for my 65, but they dont seem as blue as yours. I got the radium 150 20K...maybe they need some time to break it? I just got them yesterday. very nice tank...seriously.
