ok. What if I use a 15 gal tank and run two powerhead with hoses one feeding into the other. Now I have 15 more gal plus I am adding plants and use it as refugium as well. Lots of air flowing into the 15 for more oxygen and the return into the 125 runs on the top of the water creating more...

I have a 125 that I built into a wall with an area for a 15 gal tank that I want to use a refugium. Any ideas on how to run water from one tank to the other and back? What Do I put into the refugium tank? I currently have a 201 powerhead pumping the water into the big tank and a 10" syphon hose...

great responses, I guess I figured it was too much but we all hate to face reality. I will remove 3 of the 3 stripe and 3 of the yellow tails. I know damsels are territorial but I love them! I figure the trigger can take care of itself and the only ones I worry about is the percula clowns...

If you have a glass top, use a segment of the glass and clear out the end of the tank. When the fish swims to the end use the piece of glass down in the tank to make a wall. you have just limited his swimming space and it is much easier. K-man

I have read a lot of people who seem to have too many fish in their tanks according to the rule. Please help me if I am off the base on this or not. I have a 125g with 110 lbs lr 4" ls or at least I put in 4 10 lb. bags of live sand with some argonite sand enough to fill the bottom of the tank...

I have had one for a couple of months now and I just thought it was cool. I have liked seeing it swimming around and have had no problems with it. I don't know about the killing of a sand bed but it does add an interresting thing to the tank. Koranman

BlueMarlin, I am interested in your philosophy of stocking. You seem to be sure of the things you are doing. I am would like to know how long you have had your tank set up with the current load. If my calculations are right you are over stocked already. I am not looking for problems only...

THose who read this I need opinions really bad so I do not create a death trap for the new ones. The tank is a 125 with about 100 lbs of live rock an Americal wet/dry with a Sea Clone skimmer and an average unknown standard skimmer a fluvol 404 and 1 802 powerhead 2- 301 powerheads. I have clean...

I like bullet proof! I am so tired of buying $100 in fish every year. When something dies or some epademic breaks out. I just might really do this and I will send pictures. kman

I am considering an all damsel tank. I figure it would be like having a fresh water cichlid tank with a lot more color. Anyone ever tried putting all the variety of damsel together? I have a 125 with 1oo lbs a lr and 4" dsb. I think it would be interresting. Any thoughts? Koranman

I have a 125 that I just lost most of my fish to ick a month ago. I added 45-50 lbs lr to the tank that already had 70 lbs lr and a 4" sand base. I still have a maroon and a blue velvet damsel alive in the tank with cleanup crew and 1 coral banded shrimp 2 brittle stars. I can not seem to get...

Jason, Why did you only have it hanging on your tank for two days? Anything wrong with it? Koranman

I am considering adding an 18" refugium to my 125 will this be enough for my 125? what do I put in it? I have real nitrate problems and want to control it. I am still considering a fowlr instead of a reef tank. Koranman

If I am adding 45-50 lbs of lr (that I am getting from swf.com) to my 125 that already has 70-75 lbs lr in it already do I need to cure the rock before I put it into the tank? I am having problems with high nitrates and am doing 30 gal of water changes a week so figure I could just put the rock...

Thank you so much jwtrojan44, Is it inappropriate for me to ask where is a great place to get live rock? Here in Twin Falls I will not be able to find it. K

Is this a dumb question, but is ro water the same as distilled water?

jwtrojan44, I am sorry if I seem on the rough side. I live in an area where no one really does saltwater. I will try and be a little more patient. In the mean time I will do what you are suggesting and do the water changes for the next couple of weeks and see how things go. I am also wondering...

Cap'n Pete, The information was not in an earlier question it was the top of these series of posts. I guess I figured that if it was in the original question everyone had the information but to get answers I am happy to rewrite it all. I do not think the bioload is too heavy. It is very light...

Steamboat, I am not sure of the lights. I just got them from the lfs. He said it was sufficient. He said it was a 50/50??? I use "saltwater Master Liquid Test kit" Aquarium pharmaceuticals. K

Thank you for replying everyone, but are you all reading the first posting? I answered all your questions in the first thing I posted...Maybe I am not answering it in a correct way?? I have a 125 gal salt tank 4" deep live sand base 75-80 lbs live sand "Americal" wet/dry filter with 2 standard...
