I am re-making my sump and refugium and had a quick question. I was at a friends house the other day and he had a sump, refug, and was using a cartridge filter. He said that its good to use the filter as well to reduce particulates in the water and make it clearer. Does anyone else do this...

Coralife Aqualight Pro HQI Pendent I bought two pendents but decided I want one MH/PC light combined unit and I can only fit one pendent on my tank. My tank sits under the stairs and I don't have enough room on one side to mount a pendent which I found out after I bought them. I have not put...

Is the sally light foot crab reef safe? It says that it eats algae so I didn't think it would be a problem with a reef tank but looking for some advise. Thanks, Krash

I was going to add a Sally lightfoot crab to my tank but worried that my dogface puffer will try to eat it. He dosen't mess with the hermits. Thanks for the help! Krash

I got a used tank that was being used as a FOWLR and I want to convert it to a reef. From the advice here on the board, I have to get rid of the dogface puffer (6-7 inches), spiked sea urchin (6-7 inches) and chocholate chip star fish (5 inches). Should I try to sale them on craigslist or...

I bought a FOWLR tank and have finished setting it up. The tank used about 1/3 of the water from the original tank. I added cured live rock and some live sand I had with the live sand that came with the tank. The current stats are: Ph: 8.2 Ammonia: .25-.50 Nitrates: 40-80 Nitrites: 0 Temp...

Has anyone used these types of lights before? I know they look expensive but not looking to buy from them, just peoples experience with the lights. I am looking at the Model 100 for a 90g corner tank. I found them on fouryourfish dot com. Thanks, Krash Metal Halide - PSLM Series High quality...

I am trying to decide how long the light has to be for my corner. I've seen different pictures of everyones tank and they don't always have the light across the entire top. Due to mine being a corner tank, it has some odd dimentions so I could really use some input from everyone here. I have...

This is a 90 gallon corner acrylic that I bought used. It is a reef ready tank that has a built in overflow but I don't completely understand the way it was designed. The overflow is in the very back and takes up the corner. It has three compartments. The main in the very back has two...

Hey Everyone:) Well I've realized that to get help that pic's make it much easier. This is my first attempt to post pic's on a forum so we'll see how this works. My next step in this slow process is getting the lighting setup. The tank is 90g corner reef ready acrylic. It has a hood but no...

I am trying to figure out the setup for my tank and it did not come with a light but it did come with a hood. The distance between the bottom of the hood and the acrylic top is 3.25 inches. By the time I installed lights, they would be sitting on top of the acrylic top. The hood (made of wood...

Well I was doing good at taking my time but made a rather quick decision today. I've been reading the boards and "The New Marine Aquarium" and was getting my plan together. A tank came up on Craigslist and seemed like a great deal so I jumped on it. It is a 90 gal acrylic corner with stand...
