I just started another batch of Created rock last night. Now that I know about the Rock salt I may just try that. That seems like a much better Idea. I am just using CC right now and the Portland, and I was wondering about the Porousness. If that is a word. I'm gonna have to try that. 1 thing...

Ok I know that Bristle worms are good for CC in the tank. But i am starting to get too many. Who or what are there natural Predator that I can keep in a reef tank Besides the pair of Forceps that I have?

Yea I figured this to be false. The Guy Over at the LFS states he has a FOWLR and A Reef and he will not keep fish in the reef due to and Ill quote "You can not keep fish in a reef, as either the reef will collapse, or the fish will die. There is no way to keep fish in a reef tank". So yea, I...

Ok LFS myth or truth. In a Reef tank you should only keep 2 to 3 fish in it as either the reef or the fish will die.

I don't know. It looks like nothing more that sand box sand. Or that Fake sand. The Listing does not give you much to go on. I would not trust it due to the lack of information. It is a good deal. But a little too good to be true. But in all this 1 is up to you. I personally would look elsewhere.

Originally Posted by shwstpr88 Its on a load bearing wall, so I think it will be ok. I am having some people over to look at the spot before water is put in, but figured all the opinoins I could get the better. You will be better off in a Corner of 2 load bearing walls. Just an FYI

Way too much depends on the answer. None of it we could answer with 100% certainty. 1. How new is the house? 2. Is this going in to a corner? 3. Do you know where your load bearing walls are? 4. What is the area the fish tank is going over? I would have to say no though. It is never a good Idea...

On a side note. How many more of the Koralia's should I need for this tank. I know I want good flow for some of the Corals. But I also want Low flow in other areas for the other 1s. Ar these 2 going to be good enough? Also Im playing around with the Idea to have my return from the Sump split off...

So I take it that if you do have a 250w bulb and a 250w ballast. you can change a 150w pendent to a 250? correct?

Originally Posted by saltygerman I think you would need to change the bulb also to a 250w Correct. I am just wondering if the Mogs need to be changed out.

Can you take a 150W Metal Halide Pendant, take the Old ballast off and put on a 250w ballast to make it a 250W Metal Halide Pendant?

Originally Posted by locoyo386 Are these dimensions of the old tank (55 gallons) or of the new tank (125 gallons), or they for a different tank (120 gallons)? Just observation as these dimensions yield an aproximate size tank of 72-75 gallons. That is for the 120g But Looking at it. I think I...
