I have a 125 gal. that I build into a wall in the middle of my living room so you can see both sides of the tank. The filters, wet/dry and 2 skimmers in the sump, and a fluvol 404. I just can't seem to keep brown algae and small brown water pockets from forming in the sand between the sand and...

Ok lots to think about. Let me fill in a few holes. I had a 75 gal fo that I had set up for a year. It had all the equipment I am now using in the 125, but I had cc in it and an undergravel filter. I took everything in the 75 and transfered it to the 125 but bought the 4" of ls. I was hoping the...

Marty, I have a maroon and a clarkii in the same tank. They are fine. As long as you put them in at about the same time. They are very territorial. If you add them at different times keep an eye on them. I added my clarkii after the maroon and I though it was a goner at first, but the maroon...

Thanks yall, I did get a second skimmer that came with the wet/dry. If I use both will that be enough or should I just invest in the berlin? If I get the 300 lbs of sand do I still need a lot more live rock? I am about broke already. It seems like I am always just one more thing short. TF

I just bought a 125 and am building a wall around the 125. I plan on using a fluvol 404 that is currently running on the 75 I have had for 6 months. The 75 has been running on an undergravel with 3 powerheads, a seaclone skimmer and the 404. This week I just bought a wet/dry and have been...

Is there any way to talk to someone directly when I get on? I am about to set up a 125 and have some questions about cc or ls. I know it is not a disease problem. TF

I am trying to start a new 125. I want to know if I can use part of the undergravel filter and half live sand and the in line filters from rainbow? I was thinking that the crushed coral and the undergravel will keep the cycle time to zero. and the live sand and the in line filters will improve...

Does anyone have any opinions on the lifegard in-line filter system? Will they do a good job on my 125 gal. new set up tank? I will have a chemical filter, 1 mechanical, uV sterilizer, and the heater modual. with the fluidized bed filter. I am planing to buy this week unless your experience...

I am creating a 10' wall in my home. I am building it with a 72"X18"X23" 125 gal. tank in the middle of it. I have checked on the structural integrity and it is fine. It will be right over the baring wall with reinforcments. The question I have is, I have a 75 gal. FO with 25 lbs lr and a fluvol...

Hi ya'll, I checked on the wall cituation with a carpenter and a structural engineer. all was ok with them so I am pressing forward!! I will build a 10' wall in the middle of the great room in our home. You will be able to look right through. The wall will be 2' wide with a tank that is...

Thank you for the comments. I will talk to a carpenter and see if he thinks it will work and let you know. If I use live sand instead of the coral and the live rock I already have in the 75 how long before I can transfer the fish? Do I need a different filtration other than 2 fluvol 404 and 2...

Sorry I am in the wrong spot for this topic. Don't you just hate it when the new guy always does something goofy? :) I think I will just stay with what I have if I don't need more. Thanks. TF
