As I said in my earlier post I am finally in a home I will stay in for a while! So this is my setup! Setup is as follows: 46g Oceanic bow front: ~35 lbs of "live sand" (doubt it is live anymore) 50lbs of "dead" rock with 5lbs of fresh fiji added today JBJ 192W PC lighting (upgrading to Current...

I have a Mag 7 return pump on my sump. I have always just "shoved" the 5/8'' tubing over the male 1/2'' fitting on the Mag7. While this method has never failed me, I can see how it could! I went to Lowes and bought a female/female 1/2'' coupler along with a 1/2'' male, barbed fitting (for the...

Thanks for the replies guys, As far as stock goes I am going to start with the easy corals (being my first reef) soft stuff I guess that means. I would like to work my way into the hard corals. As far as fish go I really am open to anything colorful that will be reef safe. A pair of clowns was...

So I have been bouncing around from place to place the past few years (finishing my undergrad, then masters etc...) I have finally settled somewhere where I will be for a while (well 2 years at least!). So I am restarting my tank again, this will be the third time. I started pretty much from...

My SS seems to be doing a very good job. the biggest problem is dial'in it in. It really needs a consistant (maybe 1/4'') water level to function without constant adjustment. This is in either HOB or in sump set up (I tried both). I needed an ATO system anyway so the skimmer works great for me...

I have a small 19W CF on my fuge and it works like a charm, the greens love it

My rebuild on my 46bow is going very well. The tank has been running 100% for almost a month now with no tankmates yet. All the readings I am getting are zeros except for a possible .05ppm reading on the nitrite. the pH is around 8.4, SG 1.023, temp 87. My fuge is doing well with some macro...

My coral life super skimmer seems to be giving me some issues. I have the skimmer in HOB style on my sump. The probem is the skimmer internal water level is directly effected by the water level in the sump. I am in the process of putting together an auto top off system, but I still feel like I...

So about 2 years ago I started my first saltwater tank. I bought a 46g bow front tank and also made some uneducated buys on filters, skimmers etc. the tank actually went well and I began to populate it. I ended up getting a sick fish that killed my tank. Then due to some personal issues and...
