I know most tangs need more swimming area than what a 90 gallon provides. I heard there is a tang that will do well in a 90 but cannot remember for sure what it was. Seems to me it may have been a scopas. Is this correct or which one is it. My 90 is a reef with multiple sps and lps with 150lbs...

Does anyone know the diameter of the locline/ modular pipe on the all glass overflow return. I want to put a Y in it to direct water on both side of the tank but cannot tell if it is 3/4 or half inch in diameter. I would not want to order the wrong size. Thanks

Thanks a lot, I guess I will have to wait until they are shipping again Thanks again

Does anyone know why saltwaterfish.com eliminated there description portion from there fish and invert listings. They used to explain more about the fish compatability and care needs. This was very helpful when stocking the tanks and determining what to buy. Thanks

I have a mag 9.5 running sump and 2 maxi 1200 in tank. I may need to put the third one in to stir the tank better. Should I go ahead and put the rest of the salt in> I have 150 gallon bucket I need to try and figure out how much more I need. Thnaks

I have or ( HAD) a bag of instant ocean that is approximately 8 years old left over from when I had my tank in college. I am setting up my 90 gallon and just poured the 50 gallon bag in about 15 minutes ago. The salt was dry and unopened. It was not clumpy but does not seem to be dissolving...

unfortunately the water is already in the tank. I know I am in for a mess when I put the sand in. I guess I should turn all the pumps off until it settles. Does that sound right?

I have 100lb's of dry araganite sand I need to rinse before putting it in my new tank. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to rinse it. Also should I use regular tap water to rinse it or should I use RO/DI water. If tap is recommended should I let it completely dry before putting...

Hello, I need a littl e advice if anyone can help. I currently have a whole house RO unit with only a 3 gallon holding tank. I was looking to add more holding capacity by adding a larger tanks to the system. The tanks are designed with a rubber bladder to pressurize them and I found the R/O...

I currently have an RO system but need to add a deionization filter to it. Does anyone know what the recommended brand is ot what I should look for when buying one? Thanks

Thanks airforce. This is a whole house unit I have. It may not be as efficient as an R/O system made specifically for salt water tanks.

I just purchases a TDS meter and checked my R/O water. The meter indicates the parameters are 014 PPM. Is the number ok to start filling the reef with or are they too high. I have no idea what the highest PPM can be before it causes problems in the reef water. Thanks for the help

Thanks for the help, I think I have a plan Brian

I must have a misunderstanding of how the controller works. I thought it worked as a shutoff or safety for the heater if the thermostat broke and it would shut it off if the water became a certain temp. This is why I thought I had to set it a couple degrees higher than what the heater...

Sorry I did mean volts. I found the cords I need today with the screw in plugs to secure in the holes like the controllers that already have the cords when you buy them. Thanks for all the advice I appreciate it. How many degrees do you set it above you heater thermostat. My tank will probabaly...

From the auction site. Evidently these are universal controller and can be used with 110, 120, 220 watt cords. So I have to add the cord I need. It is exactly like the one you have in the picture just without the cords. I should have ask that before I bought it. It looks easy to wire but I...

Is that madel called the Ranco. If so where did you get the electric cords for it. I just got one in and I guess I have to buy the the cords and wire them in.

I read a post where a guy placed his mag in a separate container with water in it. The water was to muffle the sound of the mag and allow it to run extenally from his tank. I was curious if the water in the separate container smelled stagnant. Brian

Thanks for the info

Does anyone make a product that is designed to shut heaters off when they malfuntion to prevent them from overheating tanks? Thanks, Brian
