Had to borrow the business camera to take these. Hope you like them. Also dealing with a Hair Algae problem at the moment.

Here is the situation. I just upgraded tanks and moved all of my livestock, live sand and live rock over. Went from a 60 gallon to a 75 gallon. I have the following fish load in this tank. (1) Black Tang (3") (1) Chevron Tang (2") (1) Majestic Angel (2") (1) Flame Angel (1") (1) Neon...

A picture of the HLLE. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for the help Beth. I am kinda worried about removing the bioballs in my tank. I feel that a FOWLR needs bioballs. I don't know if my live rock/sand and protein skimmer could sustain my setup. I was thinking of removing the bioballs and putting in a fluidized bed. This way, no waste...

I will be sure not to overdose of the vitamins. My DSB is 5 inches deep. I am planning on adding a live sand activator kit to add more life. I will test my incoming water for phosphates on my next water change. How often do you recommend water changes? I currently am doing10 gallons every...

Okay, I added macro algae today for my tang to graze on all day. I also purchased vitamin C supplement to go with my Zoe, and Zoecon. I also tested my phosphates today for the first time and got a reading of 0.25- 0.5. From what I can tell, I think this is high, but am not sure. Any...

My tank has a brand new DSB with 3" of oolitic agronite sand and 2" of live sand on top of it. It is only about 1 week old. Hope to see some results in 2 months. My setup is a 75 gallon with builtin overflow. I have a Euro Fil 180 sump with a bag filter, a Euro Reef CS6-1 protein skimmer...

I have lots of established live rock in the tank for the tangs to graze on. I will start to provide him with macro algae so that he can graze all day. As far as testing goes, my nitrites are 0, nitrates are 50 ppm, but I have never tested my phosphates. I am hoping that with a DSB and regular...

I will try and get a picture up next week. Will have to borrow the business camera. So should I move the grounding probe from the sump to the tank or do you think I should have one in the sump and one in the tank? As far as grazing habbits go, no he doesn't have all day grazing habbits? I...

I purchase a black tang about 5 months ago from a LFS. The fish had severe HLLE. Anyway, I have been feeding him sheets of Marine algae, frozen brine/squid/bloodworms. I soak the frozen food in Zoecon and Zoe. The tang has made small improvements over the past 5 months, but there is still a...

I recently upgraded my tank and system to a 75 gallon setup. Transferred all my live rock and sand to new tank, and had a mini-cycle. Anyway, the cycle finished and I turned on my protein skimmer and I can't get it to produce any waste yet. It has been on for 48 hours. Does anyone have any...

Replacing my 1 year old 60 FOWLR with a new 75 FOWLR. I am moving all my LR and establish bioballs over, but have decided to go with a new DSB for my 75 FOWLR. I bought 120lbs of Carib Sea Oolitic sand to create a DSB. Do you think I should seed the Oolitic sand with sand from my 60 gallon...

That was my biggest concern. I would be sad to lose my aquarium, but I would freaked out if my aquarium destroyed my landlords apartment complex. I am willing to give up the loss of my aquarium as long as the damage it may cause is covered. I think to cover the loss of the aquarium it self...

I just purchased the insurance myself, and it looks really good. I even had my mother who wrote insurance years back take a look at it and she said it looked good. If your interested, the website is: www.waterbedinsurance.com (800) 337-0331 They cover aquariums too. If you call them, ask for...

Just did a little research and found a company in Idaho that writes policies for aquariums and waterbeds. For $50/year, they cover you with a liability of $150K. I am getting a copy of the policy as we speak. I hope this works. Cause I am freaked my aquarium is going to crash through my...

Does anyone out there know if I can purchase aquarium insurance. I am setting up a 75 FOWLER, in my 2nd floor apartment. I am kinda freakin out about the weight and possible floods. Can you purchase aquarium insurance with renters insurance or separate? Please help.

Wanted to get everyones input before I make a mistake. I really like the Golden Butterfly. I want to purchase the smallest possible one I can find and put it in my 75 FOWLR. Is this possible, or am I asking for trouble? I think I heard somewhere that they do better in pairs? Can I keep a...
