Good morning all; I bought a wet dry sump for my 90 gal FOWLR over the weekend and I like it a lot. I wanted to put my heater in the sump but it's to long to completely submerge. Should I look at getting another heater? Does the entire heater have to be submerged? I just like the idea of taking...

Just thought I'd update y'all that it is a BTA. Went back to the lfs and asked. Thanks everyone for your help.

Originally Posted by ccampbell57 What size is your tank? If you have a 125 or larger then it will be ok. If not, then I would suggest to steer clear of it. Excellent. Then I have one more question. My QT is just 10g, is it gonna freak him out to be in such a small tank for a couple weeks?

I am getting conflicting advice on getting a second Trigger. I have a Niger Trigger now that is about 5". I would like to get a Picasso Trigger as well but I've been to told this is OK and I've been told this is NOT OK. Even among the info I've found saying it would be OK I've seen it written...

Originally Posted by Aquatica-Tech Yesssss my lates came in after waiting an agony of like 2 weeks, but hopefully my tank would become more stable now with the lights. They are 48" 4x65 PC lights with 4 Blue Moon LEDs looks beutiful!!! So anything I should know and what to do ? I just got my...

I have 2 quarantine questions if y'all don't mind. First, it seems to me that I need to keep my QT up and running all the time if I might buy something on the spur of the moment. Is this what most people do? Second question is about sponges. I was just reading that they should not be exposed to...

Bought my first Anemone this weekend and forgot to ask what kind.

Originally Posted by trigger11 Quarantine corals is a bit tricky to do but some people do that. Usually when buying a coral it will be attached to a piece of LR or something else. If it is attached to a piece of LR then it could be a good idea to follow the freshwater dip method. Or, you...

Well my tank is set up and cycled, I have my new MH light set up and it isn't affecting the temp. I have moved my 2 clowns and my Coral Banded Shrimp into the tank. I have live rock and at least 2 tiny hitchhiking start fish in the tank. Water tests all look good. Does that mean I'm ready for my...

Originally Posted by tropills not very taught now, but fill the tank with water, it will get pressure on it, DON'T cut it out. it keeps the glass from bowing out. Actually it is full of water now. What I was thinking is trying to find something made out of clear plastic of glass to replace it.

Hi Y'all, I have tank I'm setting up to be a reef tank. It's 30" wide, 23" tall and 12" front to back. It has a thin plastic strip running from front to back in the top center. My question is: How important is this strip? It's definitely not taught or strong, very flimsy actually. I sure would...

I recently purchased a used tank and it came with an Eheim Ecco 2335 canister filter. I looked at the Eheim website and found the 2334 and the 2336 models, but no 2335. Does anyone know anything about this filter? Was it discontinued? I'm trying to decide whether to use it or not on a 40 gallon...

Yeah I was just reading about chillers. I just know I'm going to end up having to have an electrician come out and run a new line for me. I won't be putting any critters in the tank for at least another 10 days so I'll be able to get some kind of idea about the temp by then. I totally blame the...

Originally Posted by Yosemite Sam If you have problems with jumping fish, you can use what's known as egg crate to make a screen over the top of your tank. You can find it in the lighting section of any Lowes or Home Depot. It's better to go without glass covers, as it helps with gas exchange...

Originally Posted by PerfectDark Just off topic of the lights... Clown fish are not known jumpers as some blenny's and other types of fish are. If you have a jumping clown you may want to investigate as to why. There could be some type of harrassment in the tank.. just my 2 cents. LOL, Yeah...

Hello, I am going to attempt a reef tank.I have been reading about lighting for the last couple of hours and think I want to start out with CF lights. Mostly for financial reasons. Does that rule out Anemones? I've read they require Strong Light but have read some people have had success with...
