I think once again 'Z' has nailed it. I believe it is the thickness of the glass not urine that prohibits it being used as a fish tank. With water weighing roughly 8 lbs. a gallon you are talking about 600 lbs. of just water weight. Not to mention LR & LS. I wouldn't chance it. You could have a...

I received a sun coral frag from Puerto Rico and the reason it didn't go well is because the frag cut through the bag and most of the water drained out. I believe if the frag didn't cut through the shipping bag everything would have been fine. IMO. Watch for sharp edges, add an ice pack and pack...

Salifert is best IMO. I also used API.

You don't want to be thinking about adding anything at all to your tank until the cycle completes. Ammonia and nitrites are toxic to fish. It is not until these parameters are both zero and you start showing nitrates that your tank is cycled. Once ammonia and nitrites are zero you should do a...

I keep my 10 gal QT running constantly. I cycled it from scratch with a raw shrimp. I have pvc and barnacles in there for hiding spaces. I do water changes and topoffs as often as needed (weekly with the water changes, daily with the topoffs) and feed a small amount of food weekly to keep the...

X, you sure are conscientious

Is a filter needed for say a 10 gal frag tank or will a powerhead do?

Tropic marin pro reef. I only have a 29 gal so the price doesn't bother me much. It lasts a long time.

A chiller may be needed, at least a fan.

Whatever you hear from your LFS I would verify on here before you act on their recommendations. Their main interest is to make money. The people on here want to help you succeed.

Do you have a sump? I don't see a filter. Is that LR in your tank? How many pounds?

+1 The light seems fine. You may have to lower your corals for a few days and let them acclimate to the new lighting. Once they acclimate you should be able to place them back higher in your tank.

RO/DI water

I can't offer any help but I am interested in responses as I have a little guy like that also.

Just found a conversion chart. 150 gal (149.61 actual). 48"L, 20"H, 36"W. You are going to have quite a bit of your tank unlit. You will need a custom stand also.

Dude, Welcome to the hobby. Is there a lighthouse nearby that could use some supplemental lighting How about moving the tank? Your lighting is way too intense for your tank. Maybe you could open up a tanning spa Seriously I would hope you could either take the light back or hold it for a...
