can anyone help me out with baserock?

thanks saltnoob. i am adding on 2 koralia #1 pumps. that will definately increase water flow. any other suggestions is more than welcome from all.

Kind of rock is it that is for sale?

what do you use for power heads in the tank itself?

been reading for a while figured i chimed in a little bit. first off the tank looks great. absolutely great. second off 1 question about your mag drives. do you have them at different levels in your tank? such as hi mid low? and do you like there performance. as for your skimmer it wont really...

hey lion i want to first start off my saying thankyou for all of your hard work and dedication to this hobby/addiction. i have been around saltwater tanks my entire life due to my father. he has had tanks as long as i can remember. it was only a matter of time till i got into the hobby. been in...

here are a few pics of my 75 gallon fowlr tank and my DIY wetdry/fuge. full tank side with CPR side view of inside tank left front of tank front center of tank front right of tank DIY WETDRY DIY WETDRY/5-6" DSB RETURN PUMP FROM SUMP TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK GUYS OR ANYTHING I CAN CHANGE...

how do you get the cheato to settle in your sump s that it doesnt get sucked through with the current? do i have to stop the flow of my fuge to let it get into the sand? also what does this do for your tank. im new to this and still learing. thanks in advance.

are you gonna see the pods and other worms in a shallow bed as well. I am asking because I want to put a DSB in my fuge but still keep my shallow bed in my DT. Also should I be cleaning the shallow bed with my water changes? Shallow bed is about 1" deep and my DSB is going to be about 4-6"

sorry I have a 75 gallon tank fish only. With about 40lbs of Fiji rock and maybe about the same with the sand. I also have crushed coral mixed in with the sand. I was thinking of putting a protein skimmer in the bottom tank. Any thoughts.

hey guys I know this sounds like a dumb question but I want to really be sure. My filter setup is a CPR overflow box going down to a 30 gal tank underneath my tank. The water then spreads out over those brown bio spunges for filtration. Then back to the tank. I felt that wasn't enough so I added...

hey guys my ct is starting to move around the tank ALOT more now. i think he needed to get comfortable in his new home. when i feed my fish he is the only one that does not eat. he picks all day long on my coral but will not eat the flake food. i am in the process of hatching some brine...

also what is the best thing to feed this fish, same as any other tang?

it is a75gal tank live rock and sand. i will def get the selinity up to that. thats not a problem. i acclimated him with the drip method as shown on swf.com.
