i am breaking down my 125 and setting up a 55g frag tank. if I use mostly water from the 125 to fill the 55 will the tank go through a cycle? there will be no fish in this system. only corals. and not many corals to start. just a monti cap, a couple acros, some rics, one acan colony, and a maybe...

I am looking into a smaller more compact skimmer for my 55g frag tank i am setting up and had a thought. the skimmer is going to be in my sump/fuge. since its a fuge too the water level will need to be pretty high. is there a certain point on a skimmer where the water level in the sump cant go over?

well the time is getting near to start this project so I figured I might as well make the thread now. I am gone next week but after that finally have some free time this summer.

I want to downsize from a 125g reef to a 55g frag tank at the end of the summer and was wondering if I can just use water from my 125 to fill the 55. like 30g from the 125 and 20 being new saltwater.

I am planning on setting up a 55g frag tank at the end of the summer and trying to think of the best way to layout the shelves. I dont think I want the eggcrage to be snug against the glass because then the snails wont be able to clean much. but if I can somehow make the shelves moveable then I...

I was wondering if anyone could tell me about these? all i know is that they maintain calcium levels. how exactly do they work? and are there any downsides to them?

hey guys. havnt been on here a in a looooong time. still got the 125 with only 4 fish haha. I have been very busy, short on money, and will be gone basically all summer so all that has kinda added to losing interest in my tank. However I am still interested in corals.

I need your opinion. I am applying for a scholarship to a week long percussion festival at Berklee College of Music. They require you to record one song that best shows off your style and led zeppelin is my style. between these zeppelin songs which drum beats are you all most impressed with. I...

I really want to get a bubble tip for my true percs. preferably a rose bubble tip. Anything special I should know about these? I never really looked into their care too much. I know they need to be spot fed and need high lighting but thats about it. I have 2 250w MH lights over my tank so I...

I noticed 2 black spots on my true perc yesterday. one on his side and one on his tail. He is eating fine, swimming fine, and breathing fine. everything else in my tank is also perfectly healthy. its a bad pic its the best I can get. you can see the spots.

I am trying to remove a bully sixline I have and am looking for a wrasse to replace him with. I want something...

What does it mean when a sixline's eyes turn red? I caught mine chasing my jawfish around tonight. I didnt see the wrasse bite at the jawfish but the wrasses fins were flared and its eyes were a bright red. what does this mean? is my jawfish in danger?

How difficult are these to care for? do they have any special needs? Anthything different from other angels? If I invest in one I want to make sure I can keep it alive.

anyone know of a good and reliable wavemaker out there? I thought it would be cool to add one to my tank.

I want to get a group of lyretail anthias but dont want to spend all that money at one time. I was planning on getting the male first and then getting 3 females in groups of 2 and 1. I dont want to QT 3 fish at once in my small 20g. Would this be ok adding the females at different times?

love these
