So, unfortunately I'll be leaving for college at the end of this summer and will be taking the tank apart. It's very sad but I'm keeping all the 'hardware' so I can set it up again after. So my lfs will take all my fish and corals but not the live rock or live sand. I know they took the...

Well on my 55g reef I used to just sport the Penguin 330 HOB filter but now I've upgraded to a nice wet/dry suitable for a 100g. However, I'm only running the Rio 2100 pump into my display and I didn't want to lose all the water circulation from my 330. So can I just leave my 330 on the back...

So I have a 55 reef and a wet/dry for a 100 gallon was given to me and fits under my stand. Woo Hoo. However, the wet/dry is empty and I need to know what to put in it. 1) I know bio balls are supposed to go in right under the intake under the filter pad but do people ever put other things in...

Well I've had my 55 reef up for about a year now and I've been running the Penguin 330 HOB filter and another not so great HOB skimmer. Yes, I know... So! I'm finally upgrading to a sump for up to 100 gallons and I'm looking for a decent skimmer for a 55 reef that wont drain the pocket right...

Hey i got my first open brain today. nice lime green color, decent sized. anyway, i have read on most of the sites online that the brains prefer sand or substrate to sit on but all the LFSs ive been to have them on rocks also. i just didnt know if they could live all over or if they needed the...

I didnt know where to post this with all the new forums and such so i figured i could get an answer here. I live in south east florida and i was wondering if and how i could find some local swf clubs or groups for trading and such. I searched the internet and "south florida clubs" brought...

Lookin for a decent skimmer, maybe a sump but also UV sterilizer for a 55. Thanks reefman

Well i woke up this morning and took a look at my tank and too my surprise there were lines in the sandbed. it looks like someone took their finger and made an "S" in the sand. on the opposite side of the tank there is another mark but smaller and in the center of the tank (still in the sand)...

I have a 55 reef with a hang on back filter and skimmer but no uv sterilizer. I have wanted to buy one but since i am upgrading to sump sometime soon, i did not want to go through the expenses of a hang on back uv also. Today i heard about the submariner which is basically an in-tank uv...

Does anyone here have the ZooMed "PowerSweep" powerheads that turn so there are 'no dead spots'?? if so, do they work, break, etc. and about how much do they sweep? is it a 180 degree sweep or only a 90?? thanks! REEFMAN

I tested my water today and everything tested perfect. Pretty darn close to 0 nitrates and nitrites and ammonia was a solid low with a ph of like 8.1. specific gravity was good too and i even took my water to the LFS and had him check it and he said it was 'excellent' and that it tested 'as...

Hey guys thanks for reading. I am ugprading my filtration from Pengui Bio-Wheel 330 HOB to an overflow system. Need I say why? Tank is a AGA 55 (not drilled) REEF<<<if that matters. But my question is, which overflow setup is more efficient? I have heard many people say that a DIY, or...

I had my LFS test my water today and my alkinity and PH were low/very low. So after the waterchange today, I added some SEACHEM Alk/PH buffer (recomended by LFS). I actually added less than was recomended. As soon as I put it in, it looked like snow in my tank and covered everything...

I am losing a war to hair algea. I've won some battles when it died down a little. I actually just got new lights. I cut light time back from 11 hours to 8. I use only RO water. Parameters are perfect. Fish are healthy. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS STUFF??? Its everywhere, its even...

Hi all, I have a 55 gallon that is finally starting to become a 55 reef. I've had a gsp for a while but the colony is small so it wasn't anything to go crazy for. Then I purchased a large mushroom rock and they have spread around my tank, looks great! But I finally got my first NICE coral, a...
