Appreciate it very much. Thanks

You guys are great. The senior member of the community profess “research all you can and ask a lot of questions”. Then someone does a lot of research and asks questions and gets zero feedback. Bravo, losers. There are plenty of other forums with contributors that are willing to help out. Your...

Planning a 40 gal tank with live rock, some corals and a few small fish. I’ve been researching the opinions regarding bio balls vs ceramic and as I understand it, the benefit of bioballs is they house the bacteria necessary for the nitrogen cycle which is ammonia to nitrites, nitrites to...

Beginning to assemble the accoutrements for a 40 gal and I can’t comprehend if having a protein skimmer is a necessary option. I’ve been reading a lot and I understand the intent of a PS, but can’t determine if the limited space in my filtration area is best used for skimming or some other...

Good luck to you. I’m also in you position of rekindling my saltwater passion from years past. I can’t give any advice at this point other than to say Ive heard the tanks with rounded corners like the bio cubes may be difficult to clean - but I cant substantiate that. I’m also opting for an...

Thanks Teen, I appreciate your input. take care. Scott

I have a 2" Tomato clown in my 125 FOWLR and every morning he has dug a hole in the front corner of the sand and is sitting in it. I have a deep sand bed and I'm wondering if his digging will release nitrates into the tank? Also, does this new behavior indicate some other problem that I'm not...

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your time.

My Lantern Basslet has a fairly large chunk taken out of his tail fin. Do they grow back? How long does that take? Is there anything I can do?

Fantastic info. Thank you very much, I appreciate your time.

Its a 39 gallon fuge with miracle mud and Calerpa. Nothing else.

Thanks again. Both questions you give an OK to?

Since starting my tank, I've illuminated my fuge nonstop. Is this bad / good / insignificant? I'd appreciate some advice. Thanks. Scott

I've got 2 questions, please let me know what you think. I have a 125g FOWLR that currently houses a Tomato Clown, Lantern Basslet and three Turbo snails. I'd like to get a few Bangaii Cardinals, but I'm not sure how compatible they are with my current selection. What do you think? Also, I'd...

Thanks.

I have a 39 gallon fuge w miracle mud and calerpa. There is some hair growing in the fuge and I'd like to put in a snail to clean it up. My Calerpa is rather small, will snails feast on it?

Never thought about it. I now have an extinguisher right by the tank. you may have just saved my life. thank you, Joe.

I'm no pro, but that's a tough one to answer. When I was starting out, I researched for about a year and read everything I could before spending a dime on hardware. My goal was to fully understand all of the component options and settle on what I thought was best - for the type of tank I...

thanks for your input, bang guy

Hey nycbob, thnx for the feedback. re: UV. when I researched tanks, I got a lot of opinions on how to set it up for a FOWLR..and opinions abound. I settled on a 125 w the following: 300lbs sand (deep bed) 130 lbs live rock 39 gal 'Fuge and UV. To answer your question, I followed the opinion that...
