Hey guys, All my co-workers pitched in and we are upgrading our office tank to a 75g. I am building a sump for the tank and currently we are using a CPR CS50 overflow. I know it's probably underrated (300 gph) for a 75g tank, will have to upgrade it later. Anyways, I need to purchase a...

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...

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...

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...

I've had my tank running for almost a year now and I've had major green hair algea plague. I've tried numerous stragedy's of ridding it and it keeps coming back. My phosphate level is fairly low, I'm running 4 VHO's, 2 whites, 2 atinic's (and that's reduced from 6 bulbs) I had to move the...

My tank has been up and running now for 5 months and I took Bangs reccommendation and am running 6 VHO bulbs for a total of 660 watts on my 120 gallon tank. My photo period is only for 6 hours, no direct sunlight. I use Red Sea salt mix (going to switch to Oceanic after I run out of Red Sea)...

Just got a new firefish goby today and my clowns beat him up and took off his entire back fin, will it grow back or did they do bad damage?

I have a 120 gallon tank and I want to put a hippo tang and yellow tang. The deminsions of the tank are 4x2x2. Will this be enough space for them? There is about 160lbs of live rock. I am purchasing them at about 2-3 inches in size.

Well, I found the Ball Pickeling lime at my local wallie world, however it comes in 3 flavors. Dill, Sweet and Butter Pickle. Is there a difference, or do I not use any one of these? Can someone post a pic of the package this stuff comes in. I've heard you can also find this at albertsons...

I have decided to get one of those Lights of America lights to put on my fuge. My fuge section is only 12X8 and 16 inches deep. Which light should I buy? Will the 65 watt one be way too much for my 6 gallons of water? Should I just get the 30 watt one? Thanks for any advise

Ok, I just got my 120 running with 660 watts of vho lights. I transfered all my live rock, sand and water from my 40 gal which only had 196 watts of PC lighting. It's been running now for about 3 weeks and now I have a forest of green hair algea covering my sand bed and a few of my live rocks...
