Would like to sell the entire setup in one go. Will part out if necessary. Pick up only. Spouse has been ill and we can't focus on keeping a healthy tank at this time. Making this decision before things get into bad shape. Some pics- http://imgur.com/gallery/7j2rT Asking $600 firm for all...

Frogspawn sent out tenacles?!? I... guess I should find out! They both deflate somewhat at night, which I thought was just their way. After lights on they both fatten up, until the one on the right recently. Normally it looks like this, http://imgur.com/KedLlBF Ok, I checked out some pics and...

Yesterday I was at 420. I could be a bit higher

Not really. We were a little low on the water line over the weekend (about an inch) and added a couple of gallons, which could have shifted the flow slightly, but it started going limp prior to that.

Hi! I'm having an issue with my frogspawn. It's been semi-deflated for the past week and I can't figure out what's going on with it. There doesn't appear to be any pests but gave it a fw dip just to be sure (nothing obvious). About the same time my itty branch hammer retracted and hasn't come...

Hopefully in the right forum. I did a search but the page kept locking so apologies if this is covered elsewhere. I'm having a hard time finding a cheap little UPS. I'm probably searching that wrong too! I just want something that can keep the power heads going for a while in the event of an...

I've looked high and low and cannot find another image of the worms I have except one, which remains unidentified. I would love to concede these are bristle worms but the shape and markings are wrong, and a lack of bristles. I can't get a good close up but have included the one image I've found...

This is possible, as I seem to be a hermit or two short. Hoping I can talk SO into some lovely decorative macro algae once the fish are reintroduced.

Thanks! Another test after the initial suggests it may have been a false reading but I'll be testing again to see where we stand. I agree we could up the water change volume and probably be much better off for it. And you're right, it's a new tank and patience is HARD! Lol. I did have a comment...

Mostly glass lids so we don't get a lot of evaporation. By the time it's low it's time for a water change. I do have a lot of agitation on the surface as well. After some back and forth on another sub I've suspended feeding the nem and corals until we're done with the fallow period. Also cut...

Hi! I'm lost, must request advice. My tank is 6 weeks into a 9 week fallow period. Numbers have been good, though I've been having an issue with algae. About a month ago I started using Purigen in my skimmer to help get phospates down to 0 (was .25 consistently), which I did start to see a...

The last clown broke out. This doesn't look like ich to me, much more patchy than dots. The other two were much worse off. http://imgur.com/cQyig7B

This is why I assumed it was ich to start. http://imgur.com/BWSLHOf http://imgur.com/mCQVE0s The sailfin looked like this first (all spots are gone). The hippo started spots Sunday. Monday the clowns looked frosted from clear 24 hours earlier, like they had been sprayed with Christmas Snow...

4ft. Upgrade planned for summer (thanks tangs!)

Thanks! I'll research fallow period for the DT. A plan to make 20g QT, using water from the main tank and treating the 3 survivors is the right plan? Though less than ideal space-wise for the tangs. That leaves me two questions: Can I use LR from the main tank in the QT if I'm keeping it there...

Alright, short background. The tank has been up since Oct, newbie switch over from fresh to salt. Spouse (who initiated the swap) came down with serious medical issues right after so most of the care/research/etc (besides manual labor) has been on me to maintain the tank (Yaaay). I've beaten...

It wandered into a goby tunnel a few days ago and settled tenacles underground, foot end at the mouth of the tunnel. I've been keeping an eye on it and noticed this morning it's foot looked like it had little skin tags on it. Knowing a dying anemone can bomb a tank, I gently removed him. His...

I appreciate all the responses. We'll most likely run both then, with an emphasis on a good skimmer and consistent maintenance of the canister. Recommendations on an HOB skimmer for a 75g that could do the job on its own but won't break the bank?

The question is, do I need a filter if I have a skimmer? The meat: Converted a 55g fresh to salt. LFS said our 80g canister filter would be adequate. Sprung a leak, replaced tank with a 75g. DEFINITELY need a skimmer, plan on getting an HOB with some overkill. No room for a sump. The more I'm...

Thanks. A skimmer is what I was asking about because we definitely need one. It will have to be a hob or internal (preferable). Recommendations without breaking the bank?
