    Stocklist for 120g and what to do for CUC?

    I figured not to use higher powered lighting up top to keep algae down to a minimum and set up some macro algae with higher power lighting down below in the refugium.

    My new 125G FOWLR project

    My suggestion.. don't mix an Angel with a Lion... the Angel will nip the Lions fins. So you gotta decide one or the other. Don't use the crushed coral as your substrate.... deffinetly go with the Live sand and Live rock. Deffinetly let your tank cycle and mature and don't add all those fish...

    120 up and running again

    My 120 is back up and running after moving it 500 miles. I don't know what to catogorize this tank as, but the main fish in the tank is my lion. He's about 10+ inches. My newest addition is my copperband butterfly which has the task of cleaning up all the aptasia in the tank. He finally...

    yeah, Vegas sucks, I just moved away from there. I never bought anything from any stores there in town. Way over priced. I bought all my stuff from this site.

    going aggressive - suggestions please

    I have a 120 gallon tank 48x24x24 with a 29 gallon sump. I just use powerheads in the tank and an ASM G2 skimmer in the sump. Do I need any more filtration? I was thinking of a Rena Canister. I'm probably going to add 100 lbs of LS and 100 lbs of LR. This is what I want to keep: Clown...

    Are leopard sharks baned in all 50 states?

    I actually bought my Leopard back in 1991 in California at a pet shop in Glendora for $50. He was about 11 inches, awesome fish. That was back when they were legal and yes, the minimum length now is 36 inches.

    Should I even use a Canister?

    Ok, I'm thinking about buying a Rena FilStar XP3 Canister filter for my 125 gallon tank. My tank is drilled, I'm using a 29 gallon sump with a ASM G2 skimmer and a few powerheads in the tank. When I had the tank set up, I had a horrible green hair algea outbreak that caused me to take the whole...
