    Finally - Official Stock List - Good selection?

    The Large Wrasses are not reef safe are they? I have good clean-up crew wouldn't wanna lose them. I have a fish Only tank I am setting up after this is going, was going to put a large wrasse in there. If I cannot go with a 3rd Tang in a 180, I will go with a 150 to save floor space and just add...

    Finally - Official Stock List - Good selection?

    Thanks JW. I was doing some measurements today and I can actually bump to a 150 or 180 Gallon and I thought I couldn't based off the space. I am moving up to the 150 Gallon without a doubt to gain some more swimming area. If I go up to a 180 am I gonna fit the 3rd Tang in?

    Cleaned it all, still have junk floating in tank.

    I posted before about the bubbles and you helped me but they never went away. For some reason now. My Bio Wheels are not spinning at all. Water isn't getting up to the Wheels now it is just going out of the return to the tank....... I use the Siphon Vaccuum that comes with the Magnum 350 Kit. I...

    Cleaned it all, still have junk floating in tank.

    Skimmer is ok. My set has been up since Oct. Everything is fine, I've just in last month gotten this break out of Micro Bubbles and Junk and haven't the slightest clue why. I have a Diamond Goby in tank he probably is why I have so much crap in the tank floating but now I need to know how to rid...

    Running a Sump without an Overflow?

    Hello- I built a Sump - I have it sitting waiting for it to go to my 125 which gets set-up early July. I have a Magnum 350 on my 55 now and it is failing on me and giving me bubbles in tank even after I cleaned it entirely a few days ago. I wanted to take a small rio powerhead attach a hose to...

    Cleaned it all, still have junk floating in tank.

    Hello- This is starting to get on my nerves. I posted a short time ago that my tank was having Micro-Bubble problems. Well my tank right now has a combination of Microbubbles at the top and just very small particles floating all over the tank. 3 days ago, I took everything apart, my Skimmer, my...

    Going from crushed coral to live sand?

    In February I switched my tank from CC to a DSB. I voiced the same concerns as you on the board. I bought 2 large Rubbermaid Bins and moved my tank to split between the bins. I cleaned out CC and disposed of it. I cleaned the tank out very thoroughly with warm water. I kept Heaters in each Bin...

    BioBalls. Good or Bad?

    I actually do some more research today and decided not to put in Bio-Balls in the sump. $50 it cost me for box of Bio-Balls I will just use to find better skimmer. 190lbs or LR in Display should do the trick keeping my Ammonia and Nitrites down. Thanks for comments on this matter

    BioBalls. Good or Bad?

    Thanks for the info. I'd like those emails but unforunately my email isn't working right now correctly so I can't email you. Decided I think I am going to put in some Bioballs to help with the Ammonia/Nitrites but put in a small amount. Otherwise I may just put in some crushed rubble rock in...

    BioBalls. Good or Bad?

    Here is my plan. 125 Gallon Tank. (Dual Overflows) I bought a 40 Gallon Breeder Tank to make a sump. I was going to out Bio-Balls on either side with a homemade wet/dry with a good water filtration above to try to keep the gunk out of the bio-balls. Then I was going to put in center chamber my...

    BioBalls. Good or Bad?

    I did a search and see the balls are nitrate factories. My tank is a reef and I been using BioWheels. If I'm using a 20 gallon Fuge and growing Grape Caulpera in it with a 6"DSB, Rubble Rock and then my Display is going to have 3-4"DSB and 190lb of LR, should I use or not use the BioBalls? Was...

    BioBalls. Good or Bad?

    I'm building my sump and was going to set-up a Bio-Wheel system to help trickle the water for the 1st chamber. After talking to somebody I was told, perhaps I should use Bioballs. I've heard from reading people shouldn't use BioBalls. Why? Person I talked to said only reason BioBalls are bad is...

    Using my 55 Gallon as a Sump?

    I decided I am going to get a 29 Gallon tank and turn it into a sump then attach the 55 to that as a fuge. I am not sure if I'm gonna use my hang-on stuff for added filtration or just pack it away for a rainy day. Will a 29 Gallon Sump and a 55 be more then sufficient for running a 125? I am...

    Using my 55 Gallon as a Sump?

    Yes. I was initially going to set the 55 up as its own tank under the 125 using my HAng-On Skimmer and my Magnum Dual-Bio Wheel Hang-on Filter. Then just pump water between the two tanks. After thinking and researching. I think it would be in my best interest to set the 55 up as a Fuge and then...

    Noob Question - Stuff in the Water.

    Thanks, Squidd. I put in my Prizim Pro Media some of the foam to help catch the bubbles and that is working, I need to fiddle with my filter this week and then I believe the problem will be 100 percent solved. Thanks for help on the subject.
