Thanks for all the help. I think that I will just stick with the 50gpd. system, and the next time I buy salt I will try Reef Crystals to help with my Ca.

I have been using instant ocean salt. It seems to be okay, but what would be a good salt mix for a reef tank? I have had some trouble keeping my Ca up. Thanks for all the help.

Thanks I am probably just overly anxious. I need to do water changes on a 125, a 75 and my 24gallon aquapod. One other question. Do I need to add anything besides salt to the RO water? I have been told the salt will buffer it to where it needs to be?

hey guys this may be a stupid question, but I just bought an RO system it is a coralife 50gpd system from Dr. Foster and Smith, and it is slow slow slow. Which makes me wish I had gone with the 100gpd, the question I have is the only difference between the 50gpd and the 100gpd the membrane? If I...

There is a lady who has two tanks for sale a 75 gallon for $75 and a 50 gallon for $50 she said they have had bearded dragons in them but they are fish tanks. Quite frankly she didn't sound to bright, so I am skeptical. How can you tell if it is fish or reptile and should I do some sort of...

Sorry meant to put this in Equipment Threads.

Hello. I recently bought a 75 gallon tank which came with a single tube strip light. I don't think this is adequet for a saltwater set up and I have noticed that my live rock is starting to turn brown with only small specks of coraline. I want the coraline to grow but start up expenses are...

Thanks. Figured it had something to do with the lighting.

Sorry this is a whole new ballgame for me what are pc's?

Ok I have a new 75 gallon tank which has been cycling for about a week. I have 4 chunks of Fiji Premium live rock bought from the LFS which are about 5lbs a piece the 2 chunks which have been in for the entire time are starting to turn brown. I know my lighting sucks. It is just a single tube...

Thanks Dawman that helps I was wondering about the bandwagon effect. Does anyone have any advice on the bak pak? is a bak pak and a penguin 350 bio wheel enough filtration for a 75 gallon?

Ok good to know. After spending over $500 in the last week to buy the tank and sand and live rock and fish and everything else the pocket book is getting thin. So I think I will just wait for it to cycle, trade the damsels back to the LFS and see where I am at. This is my first saltwater. Just...

thanks again. a few skimmers I was looking at are: Aquarium Systems Seaclone Protein Skimmer - 100 or 150 Red Sea Prizm Skimmer Red Sea Prizm Deluxe Hang-On Skimmer heard of any of them? I am trying to stay around $70-100

Thanks. LFS owner said the live rock could cause the water to smell. Is this a possibility?

Hello everyone. This is my first post so be gentle! I am currently cycling a 75 gallon tank been up for about a week now I am using live rock and damsels to cycle. When buying more live rock today my LFS owner told me I would need a protien skimmer soon. He suggested a bak pak. He wants $170 and...
