    Tank size question

    I agree with you, the 180 would probably be big enough. Ive been trying to convince myself to just go 72x24x24. I think i would still but i really want the eurobracing and starphire. I hate the look of the aga 180's braces. Or do i just say forget it and learn everything i can and hope maybe...

    Tank size question

    Yeah, it was before all this ! Im SERIOUSLY considering doing just that. I have a local 180g and stand for a decent price that i like. The only problem is I want it the way i want it , for lack of a better term. I dont want to upgrade in a year or 2 or 3. I want it eurobraced definitely...

    Sun Coral

    I have a plastic tupperware bowl, its like 4"x4"x4". I drilled a little hole(1/4") in the top and one on each side. I put this over the sun and put a rock on top. I mix frozen cyclo and some selcon and zoecon with a few ml's of tankwater and sit for 20-30 minutes. Then squirt very little...

    Sun Coral

    What lights do you have? I dont think they need to necessarily be in shade as long as they arent under intense light. Id say you could have one in a 12g if you want to care for it. They certainly need to be fed almost daily. I use the cup method and now can get them to feed early in the...

    Shark, i dont know this , ive only read it on here but have you ever heard that it can kill some bacteria that is beneficial to a reef tank that is in the water column? Is this true?

    Overflow question

    All things being equal, which you are saying they basically are, i guess id rather have external if i can handle the tank being off the wall 8 inches. I guess it isnt true that offset or corner internals can leave dead spots? ( 1 place said corners do, 1 said offset do) I want a reef, so i...

    New tank suggestions

    I cant have it 29" high, i want too many lps and things i need to move or spot feed. Too hard to work in the tank at that height, need it 30"wide. Much better for the aquascaping and setup i want. More space, more gallons and easy to work in, just gotta find it! Waiting for a few quotes...

    Elegance coral?

    pros/ cons of a uv sterilizer.....

    "When used properly" is the key to this argument. From everything i have read from the "experts" it is nearly impossible to use them properly. The flow rate thru them has to be exact to work and there is no way to know the exact flow rate. as a result, the water flows thru the uv either too...

    Overflow question

    As you may know from other posts, im trying to get a 225g DT. I seem to be getting different answers from each different maker. Ive gotten 4 answers about overflows: 1) 1 big internal overflow in the middle 2) 2 internal overflows in the corners (better to be in corner) 3) 2 internal overflows...

    Tank size question

    If i get the 225g, i want alot of lps, a few sps and maybe a clam or 2. Would you suggest a closed loop for that or something else? the thing i dont understand about the closed loop is once the holes are drilled thats where the flow comes out obviously, so i have to arrange my aquascaping...

    Tank size question

    The thread on here about glasscages says that their tank started leaking and they wouldnt do anything about it. They only have a 90 day warranty which worries me, why only 90 days if you believe in your prodect. Also, its really no warranty because they dont deliver to your house, you have to...
