I am leaving the hobby and need to sell all of my aquarium stuff. Squidd helped me figure out everything I need. I would like to sell it all together but I will break out livestock, rock, and corals if someone only wants the tank and stand. Here is what I have: Tank & Equipment [hr] * 150...

I have a light unit from Hamilton Technology. The fans are very noisy. I plan to replace the fans but was wondering what are the things I should consider when choosing a fan other than the Db rating. Any suggestions on replacement fans? The ones in the unit now are 4" muffin fans with no...

My hubby just got me the Korallin KalkReactor 3002 for Xmas :cheer: Any suggestions or hints on setting this up?

Just got these photos of the BTA splitting. The clowns were so confused. It's hard to get a shot of the BTA since the female clown comes to the glass to protect it from the camera.

I put in some very small peppermint shrimp & watched in horrer as my 6 line tore them apart :scared: Yeah I know, he was only doing what came naturally. My question is, are there any shrimp I can put in that the wrasse will not eventually eat? Does size make a difference?

I'll be upgrading from a 55 gallon to a 150 gallon this weekend. :jumping: The 150 is already running so I could make sure the parameters are good, test out all the equip. etc. I already know to cut the timing on the new tank lights back (going up to 250w MH). Here's my plan since many of the...

I'm ready to make the move from a 55 gallon reef to a 150 reef this weekend. :cheer: For my 55 I currently have the following fish: 2 mated True Perculas Orchid Dottyback Six Line Wrasse Yellow Watchman Goby They will get moved but I want to add some more fish. They need to be reef &...

I got the Neptune AquaController III Pro for the new tank. I did some simplistic programming on it last night. I need to add some more complex statements. Right now I have the Metal Halides coming on with the statement If Sun 060/-045 Then LT2 ON But I also want to make sure that the temp...

I've had this green brain for almost 2 years now. I noticed it realeasing these brown strands the other day and managed to take a picture. It seems happy & healthy - keeps growing. But what is it doing?

well the tank is here :cheer: and while I wait the prerqusite amount of time I wanted to get my plumbing squared away. I was researching the PVC Spa Flex tubing and had some questions. The Spa Flex seems to be rated for around 60 PSI at 70 degrees ( I assume they mean Farenheit ) So since we...

Finally got some halfway decent photos of those elusive, hide from the camera, or fly around at the speed of light when a camera comes close to the tank. The first is a goby that is supposed to be a yellow watchman. It has the blue spots but the yellow is more grey than anything else, the...

I am in the planning stages for a new tank (150 or maybe the 190) I have some questions just to make sure I'm covering everything. I plan on getting the tank from glasscages which has a delivery in my area next month so I will have to order soon. I have already read the plumbing threads...

I am trying to plan out a new sump. I have a EuroReef CS8-2 on order. Can anyone tell me what the optimum water depth for that skimmer is?

I "rescued" a BTA from my local LFS. Sometime prior to them getting it, the poor thing had gone thru a bleaching event so he let me have it for $5. It has been in my tank for 3 weeks now and has gained back a significant amount of color so I hope I am doing something right. I can no longer see...

I have been using the drip method for auto topoff for about 5 months now. I am tired of filling up the gallon container every night. It is also not conducive to going on vacation. The goal - Put a tank of RO/DI water in the garage and run a water line to the sump. This will require that I...

I have a new LMB that is in the QT. It has been in there a week & I can't seem to get it to eat. I have tried putting algae from the DT in, dried seaweed, & also algae tablets. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should get it to eat? The LMB looks healthy so am I just worrying too much?

This may be a silly question, but could you use a spa jet to change water flows? Specifically I am thinking about the type that changes the water direction around. No electricity needed. Would the gph required be greater than what exists in most tanks? Would it clog too fast from salt and...

I will be modifying the piping on my sump/fuge setup this coming weekend. I noticed that most people use 1" PVC. Is there a way to calculate the size that I will need?

I have about had it with my cheap SeaClone skimmer. I will be replacing it shortly. I am looking at the EuroReefs. How do I decide which EuroReef skimmer to go with. It will be in sump so footprint is an issue (max of 29" high including room to remove cup & no more than 11.5" wide). I have a...

Well, it's official, I have to get a chiller. I have a 55g Display with 40g sump, 2 PH in display, 1 PH for skimmer, & the return pump, along with 2-175wMH & 2-96w PC Actinic on Display, 2-65w PC on fuge (they run at night). I've looked at Teclima, Pacific Coast, & a few others. I need a...
