i bought a unit from *****(please do not post partial links, names of competitors, etc. 1Journeyman) and it works great. Its a 6 stage unit and is rated at 110gpd (though i think its less, but my pressure may be off too). it was $90 and the replacement filters were $30 for the 3 filters and $20...

If listed properly they are different. Blue chromis are a deep blue like Alyssia said. Green Chromis are a light green color and Blue/Green Chromis are a light blue. I have 4 green chromis and 3 blue/green chromis in my 55 and they are hard to tell apart, but if you look closely you can tell...

ill pick up a mj1200. I tried my extra powerhead this morning and i was about 6 inches short!!! but its not as powerful as a mj1200.

right now i only have some xenia and a kenya tree, but i'm looking more for the future. So pretty much if i wanted to keep a full reef tank (with sps) what would i need?

I am wondering what supplements a reef tank should use? I need something to increase my calcium and PH for sure, but do i need anything else? Magnesium, iodine, stronium? I have been looking at Kent supplements and they make so many i dont know whats worthwhile and what isnt

this is why i love this site! i went to the LFS to see what they had and they told me a MJ1200 would never be able to do it because there isnt enough head pressure. of course they also wanted 50 bucks for the mj1200

thank you everyone... I'll look around for prebuilt sumps because i have zero experiance with acrlyic. I just know sumps provide great benifits and especially on a 55 gallon space is very limited the way it is, but then to add a heater and HOB skimmer you waste a lot of space. My buddy uses a...

If you drill a hole in the return line how do you stop leaking? or am i missing something here? I have a 55g reef tank. Currently i have a HOB Aqua C Remora Skimmer, T-5 Lights, 2 Tunze Nanostreams. I want to be able to have a sump for the various benifits they offer. I would keep my skimmer but...

I am looking for a good HOB overflow for my 55 gallon. My biggest concern is in the event of a power outage it doesnt overflow. And since i live in a apartment that would be a big! problem. Also...what do i need in addition to the HOB overflow and another tank? pumps, hoses etc?

I am looking for a pump/powerhead to move water from my holding container (rubbermaid bin) to my tank. I only need it to move water about 4-5 feet up. It doesnt need to move a ton of water since the most i need to move is about 20 gallons. I was thinking a Mag3? is that overkill? I want to...

when i had mine they hosted my sebae. Kind of annoying since i had some clowns at the time too!

Kenya Tree huh? Thanks for the info! A friend gave me some frags and when i got them they were TINY. I'll have to look that up to make sure i'm giving it what it needs. GNorman... You may be right. I immediatly did a water change then tested it about a day after and the levels were back ok so...

i bought my tang before researching.. (i have learned my lesson on that!) He is doing great in the tank. I bought him because yellow tangs and clowns are the staple of a saltwater tank. Although now i want another tank to get more exotic type fish. I want a 125 or larger so its 6ft and deaper...

Here are some close up's of my corals and clowns. I am planning on getting my diamond goby soon then the fish are finished. I then to plan on moving into corals (shroms, zoas, brain, bubble etc).

In June 2007 I redid my entire tank. (mainly because i had to take everything out to catch those DAMSELS!!!) Here is a pic from July 4th. My livestock list now consists of: Inverts various hermits (red and blue legs) various snails (mexican turbo, turbo, nass, conch) Brittle Star Fire Shrimp 5...

Around March i bought a BTA and a Sebae. I learned how delicate these can be as the BTA died shortly after i put it in my tank. The sebae lasted a few months. He was a buet! Unfortantly around May when i left for vacation something happened when i was gone. I dont know what, but when i...

Shortly after adding the tang came a cleaner crew i bought from this site. I also bought a few domino damsels because the g/f thought they were cute... LESSON LEARNED! Here is a pic of one of the little b@stards and a blue legged hermit.

I have been a freshwater fish guy for many years and decided to jump into saltwater when i moved this past year. I started my tank in December of 2006. Here is a pic shortly after that. This pic is from February and the only changes are i removed the calpura that was attached to the middle...

if you want to go the egg crate route just go to home depot or lowes or whatever hardware store you have in the area and go to the lighting section. They are in the same area as you would find the clear plastic ceiling tiles that cover florecent lighting in like a basement for example. i was...

Here is the best pic i had of mine before he jumped... And they are bad jumpers. I've had 2 and both jumped to thier fate. Mine also hid a lot as well. They seem to like darkness
