That rock arrangement looks AWESOME!! Me wants.. :joy:

Thanks for all the advice guys. Turns out i'm going to use my 30 gallon for a refugium for the 75 gallon.

Nice to hear that. I was looking at the Fluval 404 for my 75..

How much money would it cost to set up a refugium with everything it needs? I have a 30 gallon saltwater tank right now which I am taking apart and selling so I already have a 30 gallon (and a 20G saltwater) for refugium tank.

I'm in the process of buying a filter for my 75 gallon reef tank. I don't know what filter to get yet, but I'm looking at the Fluval 404 because I have read good reviews on it and it's not too pricey. Do you guys think this fliter is pretty good with reef tanks or is it a no go?

I am, currently cycling a 75E gallon. About the tank, there is a skimmer and a filter attached to it on the back. Put powerhead back in tank, top of water seems to be doing better now.

Yeah I do have a powerhead that goes in there, but right now it's in the 75 gallon tank. I also noticed the oily surface so I will put the powerhead back in there. Thanks for pointing that out.

Looks like no one has posted anything yet so here ya go-

My 30 gallon, currently cycling my new 75 gallon.

So I calculated everything out and for a complete 4 bulb VHO system it would cost me around $300. I have seen MH retrokits on ---- for less than that. I have been looking at a 400W MH retrokit on ---- for $220. Do you guys recommend getting more than one MH bulb or stay with one bulb. (I'd...

Thanks alot for the reply. If I can afford it I will go VHO. (I'm only 16 with a part-time job) :help:

Hey Guys, I finally got my ALL-GLASS 75E tank. It's going to be a reef tank, and i'm still puzzled about the lighting. I can't spend a fortune on lights but I don't want crap either. HEre is what I have considered: JEBO/ODYSSEA 260W PC Lights Icecap 660 Ballast w/HQI VHO bulbs (4x110W bulbs=...

We use the Instant Ocean salt, I use the same stuff in my tank with the RO water and it's doing great. (First I used well water and everything was off the walls, then switched to RO and it made a world of difference) The kit used was a Mardel 5-in-1 test strip for fresh/saltwater.

Hey everyone, I work at a LFS. We have 8 20Gal's (I'm guessing) and 2 40L Gallon tanks that are Saltwater. These are obviouslly retail tanks so they are all connected. They all have Aragonite LS and some pieces of LR, not much at all though. We have been getting sick of them because not too...

I have had my 30 Gallon fish-only tank for lets see...4-5 months now and it's still got the red algae on the sand and the rocks. Anyway, I read that you should not place the LR on top of the LS, rather to the glass bottom of your tank. I still have my LR ontop of the LS and have never had it on...

Hey Guys, today at the LFS I work at we got some new fish in. I forgot the name of the type of clownfish it was but it looked really weird! It was grey with dark stripes and looked kind of like a lionfish almost. It's about the size of the tomato clownfish. The fins are really big. Does...

My Royal Gramma does that too, it always looks dead but if I stick my hand in my tank it jets away. Also, it sleeps almost upside down inside a rock. Crazy fishes...

Shows how much my LFS shows...I work there too. I'm surprised at how many people do not have the glass between the lights and the tank. I kind of have to because I have a twin-tube strip light with regular flourescent actinic bulbs. I just read that it's better without the glass, does the...

I work at a LFS and we carry saltwater fish also and this has also got to me. I know that two tangs that look alike should not be in the same tank, but have always kept 2+ yellow tangs in our tanks. Of course we are the store but still, they have only faught one time and that was when someone...

Here are a couple from my 30 Gallon tank. Most pics are with my Canon EOS 300D, or Digital Rebel. The 2nd pic of my full tank is from my Kodak DX6490. You can also click my link for some more on my website. http://www.pbase.com/scorpio300d/saltwater_fish_tank
