With most tanks you aim for around a 20 time water turnover rate. Since your tank is 125 gal. you should try to shoot for 2,500 gallons per hour in movment. This seems like a lot but you can also take into account the wet/dry pump. With 2,000gph with the 2 600gph and 2 400gph powerheads you will...

I think putting a glass top on the tank would get old after a while. Some bugs are poisonis if eaten such as fire flies, but I think little nats or small moths arent too big of an issue. Of course, if you happen to walk by the tank and see them than scoop them out, other than that I dont think...

If you can, get a TDS meter (total disolved solids). TDS are all the left over particles and impurities in the water after its filtered. The closer to 0 the TDS is, the better. I myself use RO water from a grocery store and it wonderful. My levels are all in check and I dont have accesive algea...

nvm.... i got it.

42? this game is rediculous...

I run my fuge lights all day and night to keep the pH steady at around 8.2. Most people run theirs 24/7 or when the main tank lights are off (at night).

19... although it probably isnt a shock.

man are you lucky. Make sure to post some pics when you get em! Blue and Orange rics are awesome.

I personaly have never seen a white background on a tank so am interested on how it looks. It seems like it would be cool, almost retro.lol

Well, the swap is coming up not soon enough...lol. Its on Sunday though so I suppose I can wait a few more days. Here is an updated list of everything I am getting at the swap! and boy is it a lot! 3 - polyps pink zoas 3 - polyps all blue zoas 5 - polyps orange bam bams 5 - polyps bright green...

you should do both.... checker board style. lol

haha. Well even though its an old thread, I used to run a BakPak 2 on my 37 gallon and loved it. It pulled out a ton of gunk and worked great.

I have a refractometer. It is so hassle free and way more reliable than a swing arm hydrometer. They sell them on this site for pretty cheap. well worth the money imo

How about a trap? People have been successful with the pop bottle trap. Put it by where you saw them last with a piece of shrimp in the bottle and if they go in it, you got em. Who knows if there is more though.

good point indeed. Has anyone used iodine purchased at a non fish store? Is this the same iodine?...lol just for future refrence!

If they are indeed zoo spiders you should look into doing a fresh water dip on your coral. This would be helpful for the removal of the nasty things.

looks awesome! You are going to be really happy with all of those doors... good decision. Cant wait to see the finished project with tank and canopy.

Love the Africans! The tank looks awesome and lots of great color in the fish. Do you feem them pellet, frozen, and live? Its always great to throw in some guppies and let the feeding frenzy begin. Great tank!
