i WANTED TO START A THREAD WITH DREAM TANKS. when you see a incredable tank it is inspiring, and you find yourself getting ideas for your own tank. in my opinion steve weast has one of the most killer tanks out there. check it out www.oregonreef.com lets see some of your dream tanks

if you can even detect phosphates its already bad. plus you have to raise your alk.

sorry i got shrimp that would be too tasty for the eel

all im saying is more tank more time

dude to get anything for the saltwater hobby for around 5 bucks is great. especially a coral frag.

bigger water changes and more salt, but more stable in the long run. I would say maintenance is harder but stability drastically improves.

you would need a 72 inch if you are going to do the traditional 200g but you could go with mh pendants instead. you are going to drill the overflows i guess, I would go with a sequence pump or an iwaki as a return you want a big skimmer so go with a bullet 2, or a deltec if you got the $$$...

ok thanks

hey wax, do you tink i can do that with a tunze 6060? I hate the mounting crap they give you, the magnet would be a much better idea. the only thing is the tunze is kinda heavy? thoughts?

the only thing in my sump besides the equip is water

an arrow crab is not necessarily reef safe. they have been known to go after shrimps and [hr] small fish, imo not a good idea. i think your best bet would be a 6 line wrasse. I had one in my 125 when i had bristleworms and it cleared right up. plus a fun fish to watch.

do you have a sand bed in the tank? with that many fish the waste produced by the fish will overcome the amount of beneficial bacteria in the sand and lr. there is a reason people have tank crashes. it would be ashame for all of your stuff to die due to it bieng overstocked. too many fish =...

I had a green carpet for a year. i fed it once a week to week and a half, (1 goldfish) i had it under pc lights. the carpet thrived and grew so big i had to give it to someone with a bigger tank. if it is white maybe it feels it dont need the zooanth whatever cut down on the feeding and do...

i think a 125 is ok for a naso, or a sailfin. but not both you have to plan carefully for a reef tank, and want to make sure you provide a good place for your fish to live. i dont think you should consider adding the triggers at all. if you like your shrimp and less aggressive fish like a...

did you say it was red or greenish red and attached to the rock? i tmight be a type of macroalgie (halomedia) i think i spelled that right. if nutrients are high and it came on on a piece of rock it could grow pretty rapidly. do the tangs go near it?

i think it would be less expensive to run the uv, cal reactor whatever then spend all that $$$ on salt and water. plus how are you going to calculate evap ect with ambient temps changing from day to day. you would have to have a temp controled room with maybe a chiller incase the room...

imo a must to keep a truly healthy tank.

yea sure, I am interested in the hippo but not the yellow. I have a 125 gal with a 55 sump. what type of lights are you considering? i have the standard flourescent fixture for the 55 or metal hallides but i am looking for $$$ for them. as far as the 55 and the stand ( and the striplight if you...

sure if you pick it up this weekend.
