Are the joists going underneath the tank and if so, how many... Or are the joist running horizontal with the tank (this isn't good) It looks like you have a silent floor setup... If so, I have the same, mine has laminated plywood 2X4's with the middle glued wood... this is suppose to be some of...

I don't run any chillers or heaters. I have a heater in the refuge, but I can say that I have never seen it on. Reason for above is that I have a 4 tonne air conditioning system on the house, so with that and house heating I keep the house at a constant 20-21 Celsius... My tank is also at a...

Originally Posted by jemshores I would let the calcium take care of itself thru water changes, right now getting the ph up is a little more important. Hopefully the chemi will stablize things for you. Is your test kit newer and salt good? just a thought... +1, I would do some water changes, as...

I personally use 2X250W Ushio 10K in my tank... It is 5 feet X 30 inches X 30 inches... These bulbs are great looking and work well with my ballasts and lighting fixture. Here in Canada, these bulbs are only $80 each I also agree with the others, you will need minimum of 250W in order to try to...

Originally Posted by YummySalt When you say 300 gallon total, do you mean 220 gallon tank plus 80 gallon sump? something in this fashion? If it is than, it is not the same. With a 300 Gallon tank alone have a greater volumes of space, now if he/she has a sump of either 125 to 150 gallons...

Hmmmm.... Florida Joe... You and I have somewhat of the same avatar... It was one of the most favorites on I believe National Geographic... HEHE, I cropped mine though.... Since you had yours first, I will look for a new one...

I would think that the bags were not sealed, so the salt is most likely contaminated. I personally would throw it out and buy some new salt. WHY TAKE THE CHANCE!

I agree with the others, way too many tangs. I run a large tank (300G total) also, and I have the following: - sohal tang - yellow tang - blonde naso tang - blue hippo I would maybe suggest having one yellow, and then adding up to 3 more only

I use a AquaMedic OceanRunner 6500, i don't even hear it.

I run 2 skimmers: - EuroReef RS180 - 180Gallons, normal - Hydor 1000 -rated for 265Gallons heavily stocked

Take care, hope things are ok now... Wow, it does look warm there, NOT HERE IN CALGARY CANADA!!! Today is snowing and is -10 Celsius (14 Fahrenheit)... Horrible weather for October here.

I run moon LED's since the beginning (4 BLUE LED's), they don't seem to bother any fish or inhabitants... But the nice things is you get to watch your tank at anytime, day or night. I wouldn't go without them.

How long have you had your's global? Mine has been in my tank for over a year now. Very peaceful fish along with its partner in crime, my flame angel.

They are rated difficult because you need to get them eating... If you want one, make sure the LFS feeds it in front of you, don't take it if you don't see it pellets, etc. I have had mine for over 1 year, with no issues. And I agree a very beautiful fish.

really no trigger is considered "reef safe" it is all by trial and error. Some people get luck with niger's, my opinion I wouldn't really try it but if your heart is set on a trigger (because they are beautiful fish). They say and I have friends that have blue throat triggers in there reef with...

I run a 36W UV on my 300G total setup... I run it 3 hours on and 3 hours off, alternating. I have found my water clear, have lots of LR in both the Refuge and the DT, so I have never had a problem with pods. But again I don't hook the UV to the return pump, I have it in my sump area with a small...

I have the same light, as all ballasts are different, bulbs will also reacte differently due to the ballasts... Believe me, this is true, for example, I bought Phoenix 250W 14K bulbs and they flickered quite often. I just replaced last month with Ushio 250W, and now they run perfectly, and I...
