    Anyone use carbon on thier reef tanks?

    Actually, I have a 44gallon tank, and I use the Aqua clear70 in mine. It does pretty good. Did you just set it up? Did you just add some fish? If you did, it's probibly the Nitrogen cycle. It is perfectly normal, and it is doing it's thing. After it cycles, it will be perfectly clear. Just...

    Tiny white spot harmful???

    I agree, sounds like ich. if you have a smaller tank, say a 10 gallon that you can use as a hospital tank it would be good to treat him in there instead of your main tank. Rid-Ick and other treatments may kill your crabs. Personnally I think Rid-Ick is one of the better treatments and you can...

    Algae Control

    crushed coral question

    I had CC in the beginning, and never had a problem as long as you're gravel vac every month. Btw, the only reason I switched to sand is b/c I think it's easier for a lot of my creatures.

    Sand? How much?

    How much is too much sand? I see a lot of tanks with 3-4" of sand, to me it looks like there is too much. I guess my real question is how much is desirable, and why? Also, how do you clean the waste out of the tank with sand? I have been stirring it up A LOT, I am afraid I maybe stressing out my...

    Reef Tank & Protien Skimmers???

    I heard this from someone and was wondering if it's true. I heard you do NOT want a PS if you want a reef tank. I am so new at this and all of my LFS people are not any help. And technically, what exactly is a *Reef* tank. I am assuming it's lots of rock work, corals, fish, invers, ect., am I right?
