Haven't posted here in years, my tank's been up for 5 years now. I had one of my T5 ballasts go out on my icecap retro (it has the triad ballasts) so I decided to get one of these 3w LED systems. They're $240 for a 48in 24 LED system (affordable for LED) and I ordered new bulbs for the two T5s...

This tank has been up for 4 years come August. I haven't uploaded any pictures in over a year. Not many changes, traded some xenias in for a few new corals today. Check it out!

Would it be ok to run the 1/4" RO output from the basement through the floor upstairs next to my tank? Or would I lose clean water production from the back pressure of the height? I was thinking I could fill the tub with water right next to my tank, for easier water changes. What's a good...

I've been thinking about taking my hang on filter off of my tank, and replacing it with a canister just so I don't have to have it hanging from the back of my tank. I have a hob refugium up there, and a skimmer, so I'm pretty full up. I recently started just running filters without carbon, but...

I have a standard 55g tank, and I'm looking to maybe pick up a 48" 2x150w hqi sunpod fixture. I have a standard aga canopy...the back is open and top has about 2 inch spaces between the wood pieces. As you know, the aga canopies are not that tall. If I stick this fixture in there that...

Are these safe around corals?? Will they eat tiny feather dusters? Any information would be appreciated, i.e. what size tank and so on...

So I've been running 4x54 t5s for about a year now, and I'm thinking about upgrading to 2 x 150w HQI halides, but I'm concerned about heat. I'm looking at the current usa sunpod unit,it hasa high CFM fan, and I plan on running at least one other fan inside my canopy. My concern is heat here...

I just wanted to know what conditions they like best, I have a rock that was doing good at first and now I've lost like 60% of them, the rock is lookin pretty baren these days. I have a brain, hammer, lots of shrooms and xenias and they all do fine, for months! Just these zoos that are...

I noticed yesterday my yellow tang is pumping his gills very fast, not eating, not swimming fast and just not looking good. I do have some trates in the tank, nothing too crazy...maybe 40-50. I noticed last time I tested my pH was a little low, and everything else should be fine. I have a...

Does anyone have any personal experience with this fish being reef safe or not? My LFS has one for sale for under $30, and it's very nice looking might I add. However, I have zoos, snails, hermit crabs, tons of tiny feather dusters (that I don't care too much about) and I've read a lot of...

Is it true you should keep these guys on the sandbed at the bottom of the tank, or does it not matter? I bought a huge one today (probably 5-6in. across, when open) and they guy at the LFS said keep it maybe halfway up or higher with my 4 54w T5s. He was running 150w halides and kept in at the...

Got some new zoos and a bubble coral, lost my giant colt coral due to the heat though. Check out the tiny feather dusters I have covering almost every square inch of my rock, it's insane! And yes, the xenias are taking over the tank almost...I know.

I'm sick and tired of waking up to the floor around the corner of my tank soaked because this thing overflowed yet again. Does anyone else have this problem?! I have everything setup perfect...chucked the bubble diffuser, just using a foam pre filter over the output. I used to have water...

I had a little electrical mishap and the plug on the Rio 1100 that came with my coralife super skimmer 65 got fried and is no good. I totally had to rewire my entire setup, but it's definitely for the better. I'm just wondering if I should just get another rio 1100 or if there's a superior...

Here's some pictures of my tank first of all. Next, my aunt painted a horse with a saltwater fish theme...it's a local promotion sort of thing: for a couple years now, people get invited to paint a horse however they want, they get displayed at local businesses, then auctioned off eventually...

How do I do this...I believe my calcium is high and alkalinity is low... :help:

I recently added a diamond goby to my tank as the last phase of my little cyano problem. It all stopped growing after I added my refugium and then I added him. My sand is now whiter than ever. The only problem is now I have tannish silty stuff that seems to sit on everything, rocks, top of...

I'm just gettin my fuge setup and am in need of some chaetomorpha macroalgae. I'm also in Minot, ND and would really prefer to score some locally if possible. What's up DKWICK, long time no see!

I've had my tank up and running about 6 mos. I have some xenia that is growing VERY well...I've also had some green star polyps for a couple months and now their health seems to be not so good as before. I'm thinking the problem may be I'm not dosing anything in my reef yet? I do use...

I got this new RO setup off the auction site on a midnight special, it was a real good deal, and I'm excited to see how it works. I got the whole unit all setup perfect...I ordered a garden hose adapter and connection kit with it because I understood this is how I would hook it up to my washing...
