It's a 20g tall so it has the same foot print as ten, I think. And I read on a thread that 10g was too small, that's why I asked. Sorry I should have put the 20g tall part in. but the LR is just to give the macro something to grap onto, but there are cheaper ways of doing that. Thanks

if your tank is seasoned and you have the requirements and experience to keep the anenomes, I would put the anenome in first let it find the spot in the tank it likes then add coral. There is nothing more discouraging than putting an anenome in an established tank and moving your corals every...

My friend has a 60g reef and just added a 20g tank as a sump. He's undecided how to utilize the extra space. I thought maybe a dsb with macro would be good, but I've been reading that that a 20g may be too small to keep a healthy dsb. Any suggestions whether a dsb will survive in a 20g...

NICE!!!!

jlem your telling me that ro/di will give me water with a ph of 7.0? As far as additives I have been using kent marine every morning and sometimes in the afternoon, it brings it up to 8.2-8.3, but it will drop back to 7.8-7.7 the next day. I had the impression that using buffers everyday was...

My tank has been set up now for about 7-8 months and I have been using water from one of those stations that you bring your own jug to fill up. I just took the guys advice from the pet store who said it would be good and he uses it at home. My last tank I used walmarts distilled with no...

I seen a aro ballast that will will hold two 110 watt bulbs, its just the ballast and the exposed wires. My question is do I have to buy a new harness for the ballast or I can I just hook the wires to the old hoods endcaps. Basically take the normal flourescent ballast and wires and replace it...

normal flourescents, I know your going to tell me to use better lights but these corals have been doing well for a good time.

water paremeters are all good except calcium, its at 390. I have 4 flourecents on a 55g. One of the lights is very old and I'm replacing it today, i think its the problem but I wanted some feedback

My frogspawn has been turning transparent, but the tips stay bright neon green. Any suggestions on the cause?

thanks tom!

it was a reading from a company that makes it. But I have one more question, could a pourous foam compete with bio balls as far as surface area? I'm adding a 30 gal tub just to have a higher volume of water for more stability, but I thought while I was at it I might as well add some media...

As hard as it is is to hear that, I thank you. But while on the subject is there anything off the top of your head thats leading in that direction but reef safe?

I was looking at perilite ( the light white pebbles used in gardening) as a bio-meda. Its fairly cheap and has tons of surface area. I want to know if its safe for reef, heres the break down: Silicon...................................................33.8...

please help me out, I was plannining on putting a 30 gal sump on my tank with bioballs, or lava rock. I dont want to spend the money for the bio balls, and I dont want to clean or deal with the risk of lava rocks. But I was thinking, in theory wouldn't filter floss or the blocks from the...

I've been having troubles with raising my ph and cal. My ph is stuck around 7.8 and 8.0 depending on how much additives (seachem reef complete , calcium, and iodine). My calcium cant get past 360 -380 and my alk. is high. I dont have a decent alk test so theres no exact #s and I also dont...

I've had trouble stabalizing ph, my tank is six months old and without buffers I cant get my ph higher than 7.9-8.0. My question is if I remove the tops of my tank at night to get a better oxygen exchange will my ph raise, and if it does raise will it only be temporary? P.S. I'm looking for...

do long tentacle plate corals have to be placed in a sandbed or can it be on a level rock closer to the light?

I'm going to have five 40 watt fluorescent lights on my 55 gal. should i put (two atinic and three 10,000k) or (1 atinic and four 10,000k) thanks

I was wondering if any body that in lived in las vegas would have any marcros they could sell me?
