This just doesn't seem like it'd be a good idea for anything in the tank, but then again coral and discus would be pretty freaking cool :)

I got a 56 gallon tank,stand,canopy, 50 pounds of live rock and a big headache :) choose wisely :)

Okay, I'm looking for the most fun to watch fish. Personality, colors, pizazz, or whatever combo. So far the 2 most fun on my list are engineer gobies with their "you're tank will look how I want it to" and yellow tangs with their "I'm going to dart, even if it means I bang into the side of...

My new 175W came from fcbz-1111 and wow what a difference way way way way brighter and much whiter, which I like). I dont think ill need to worry about much of anything Originally Posted by SCSInet Oh yah. Plus if the ballast is probe start a 70W (which is only available in HQI for aquariums)...

I am an electrician and yes it is a DIY, second if you do not have a ground and the old outlet is 2 prong (no ground hole in the receptical) dont worry, in older homes before all outlets were grounded we do many conversions so people can plug in their 3 prong devices. What happens with a GFI...

Will engineer gobies stay schooling when they grow full size?

I know very little about these fish, and my wife likes them as well, so hopefully you can teach me some about how they behave etc. :) But, as far as your feeding problem, I'd probably say to try giving them a little while with the light off (like a day or so) to relax and whatnot, i've heard...

Okay I got my 56 set up and just found a sump that will fit through the tiny tiny door on the stand. I'm going to build a PVC overflow like the one i picture below, can someone suggest to me what size PVC I should use? I'm planning on the sump holding my heater, some live rock, and eventually...

sump goes <input><baffle><skimmer, heater, live rock><baffle><return> you may be able to put the heater in the return chamber and if you get an "out of sump" skimmer you can put its pump in the first chamber so you can have more rock and maybe even some macro algae. I just got a tiny sump (like...

Okay I got a nice rock from the LFS, I bought it because it has some nice macro algae on it but I quickly discovered at home that it has at least 2 yellowish sponges, some black/grey spongy material (looks like and feels like mushrooms, but they are long and all tight on the rock) I'll have to...

How long should I run the 175 MH? I redid the rocks some, so I'm 8 inches from the surface if I needed to get that high. Right now I have the 175W and no supplemental and I'm running a 10-14 hour photo period (don't have a timer so it all depends on the day). Originally Posted by GeoJ LOL I...

So, I've got rock built up to about 1/2 the way up to tank. I'd rather adjust the lighting than adjust the rocks, because I like how the tank looks as a whole. So here are some options: Upgrade to 2x150 HQI one 250W SE (just have to change out the ballast). maybe a 400W SE? Can I add some T5HO...

Figures and 70 on a 100 ballast is probably too overdriven

The bottle I had was 54 proof, each batch is different, and tastes different, but its akin to getting an excellent dom perignon or something like that, its something to savor and enjoy and yes it'll put you on you bASSlet ;) Originally Posted by tank a holic is utopia tha sam adams beer thats...

I have a mushroom that I got with no rock base, so I wedged the base in a crevice in my live rock, now I need to move it to a new rock, how do i remove it, I've tried putting it by hand and its stuck REALLY good, i tried to get tweezers under it in the crevice but I dont want to hurt it either...

75/90 should be good for one or the other (i'd lean toward keeping the yellow as the powder should probably be in a 6 foot tank). Just my 2 cents, im planning on putting a tang in a 56, which is only 30 inches long :) Originally Posted by guitarplr85 ok cool, and yeah I do plan on upgrading...

Okay I had a 5 gallon with a 20 w 50/50 PC (screw in coralife) and had some softies and star polyps going, now i've upgrade. Current tank is a 56 AGA, 30x18x24. I have a 175W 14K bulb that is between 6 and 8 inches from the water surface (I should measure it more carefully I guess). How high...

Ha, we see eye to eye there. General drinking 1. Killians 2. Coors (NOT LIGHT) Widmir makes a good wheat beer, linguenkugels is good too, both with a rub of orange zest on the bottle or glass, but not in the beer. If i want "puts hair on your chest" i generally keep a bottle of something or...

Depends on which type of 60 you have, but most 60s are just a taller 55, ie 4 feet long 1 foot front to back and whatever high, and if that is the case I'd probably not recommend any tang, although a small yellow would probably be okay for a while before you need to upgrade. Powder blues get...

My suggestion is an inverter and a DEEP CYCLE battery (look in w-mart for a RV battery that says deep cycle). Keep it charged in the garage and you should have power for a while. the reason there isnt a battery powered heater is lets say you have a 100 watt heater, typical for a 20-30 gallon...
