    Running my with only LR Filtration.

    Ok.. Tank is a 55 basically acting as a holding tank while my 150 gallon project comes to a close. I'll beable to move the fish from this 55 to the 150 in about 3 more weeks. On this tank I have a Mag 350 Canister and a Prizim Pro Hang-on Skimmer. I had a problem with Micro Bubbles and turned...

    Anemone for Black Percs?

    Got a pair of Black Percs a few months ago, I purchased them as a mated pair, they will swim together now and again but generally one just stays around a certain rock and the other will swim back and forth around the tank....... Anyways, I have had a LTA in the tank for 5 months now and while a...

    UV Sterilizer - Lifeguard or Oceanclear?

    Looking for opinions either of these units. I lean towards the Lifeguard because I will be buying a Chem/Heater/Mechincal/Liquid Bed modules and would hook it all up. The Ocean Clear seems to get some good reviews. Lemme know what you guys think. Thanks

    Where to put Overflow in New tank?

    That is the idea I am going to go with, thanks Lemon. I think I will just use Ball Valves so if I do need to change a pipe peice I can shut off water, take out the pipe and replace without getting sand into the sump. My biggest concern I think is going to be if my Diamond Goby digs it up and...

    Where to put Overflow in New tank?

    Lemon... Thanks. That might just be the way to go. Question now is can I buy Clear PvC anywhere? Could I not just run the return to the middle as well? I am going to have a fairly deep sand bed it would cover 2-3 inches of pipe with little problem. I suppose only thing I would need to worry...

    Microbubbles, I _STILL_ have them.

    Only things I am running in the tank right now Is a Prizim Pro Hang-On Skimmer which I have cut back water to flow to where the valve is almost shut. I have 2 Maxi-Jet 1200s. 1 was not blowing air and I have it placed under the Skimmer so it can suck up the water coming from the skimmer. I have...

    Where to put Overflow in New tank?

    I was going to buy a tank already pre-drilled that way Lemon, but the problem is you can see that corner - Basically the tank is going to be sitting in the very center of a high traffic area between what is my living room and my Breakfast Bar so I do not want my overflow to be scene, best I can...

    Microbubbles, I _STILL_ have them.

    Everything is plugged and I've cleaned and let bubbles out of powerheads so I dunno what to do here. If I just keep letting the tank sit will that get rid of the bubbles? It seems leaving the tank sit just won't cure anything.

    Microbubbles, I _STILL_ have them.

    This seems to be an unsolvable problem for me. I've have microbubbles in this tank and they just simply will not go away. I literally put in new powerheads and soon as I turn the powerheads on it just gushes micro bubbles out. I've let the water sit for hours on end several times trying to get...

    Where to put Overflow in New tank?

    Yeah, I was worried about drilling in the center and losing support on the bottom of the tank. Has to be a way to do it, I've seen free standing tanks online just gotta figure out how they do it )

    Where to put Overflow in New tank?

    Hello- I have a 150 coming next week and will need to add an overflow. The tank is acting as a room divider and will be seen from all 4 sides. I do not really want to have a hang-on Overflow because it maybe too visible. Putting the holes for a built-in in the corner will also be to noticeable...

    Yellow Tang - Blisters on Top Fin.

    I do have small air bubbles and cannot get rid of them. I have been trying to get rid of them for awhile too with no such luck. I have a 15 Gallon QT and I have a 55 I am using as a QT while I put my 150 up. Should I move him from the 55 to the 15?

    Yellow Tang - Blisters on Top Fin.

    I have a Yellow Tang in QT - When I purchased him he has missing scales around his eye area my LFS says it is Line Disease but goes away with plenty of green..... If this is true I am feeding Seaweed selects, Caulpera and FormulaII with Mysis. Biggest concern is on top of his fin it looks like...
