Hi, I am setting up a 125g fowlr tank and I got a good deal on two 4" VHO bulbs with a ballast to light the set up. I was thinking of adding an anemone in the future for my Clarkiis to host. I was wondering if I could support an anem with the two bulbs I have, I don't know the specific wattage...

I am about to ass 2 clarkii clownfishes to my 125g fowlr tank. My question is should I get two of the same size 1.5-2" or one 1.5-2" and one 3-4." How large do they get before they start their sexchange?

I am ready to order/buy my first fish for my 125g fowlr. My rough list is... Green bird wrasse A clown (maybe a pair, either maroon or clarkii) powder brown/blue tang yellow tang (if I can find a good deal black tang) Humu Trigger (bluethroat maybe) 3-4 Anthias 1 Angel (recommendations?) 1 eel...

Is it ok to use play sand from lowes in a saltwater aquarium. I know it has high silicates so it may cause algae blooms at first, but other than that is there any problems with it? How many of you have used this sand, I really don't want to spend a couple hundred on argonite sand for my 125g...

So I am almost ready to start adding my stock to my 125g. I need some advice on my list, and in which order to add the fish. I want... Green bird wrasse A clown (maybe a pair, either maroon or clarkii) powder brown/blue tang yellow tang (if I can find a good deal black tang) Humu Trigger 3-4...

I just got drilling my tank and was wondering if a little plumbers putty inside the tank would be harmful to the fish. I will try to get out as much as possible, but there will likely be some residue somewhere. What does everyone think?

HI, I am looking for a skimmer for my 125g FOWLR set up. I am looking at the COMLINE DOC Skimmer 9010 because of its dimensions, I could wait to order it, get my tank started and then put it in my sump when I get it. With every other skimmer I would have to take the tank of the stand to fit it...

I just got my 55g that I will turn into a sump. It is glass, Can I use acrylic for the baffles or will it not seal to the glass with silicon? I was thinking of getting some acrylic at lowes and buying a saw to cut it myself (Which saw and blade is best?) (Would this be cheaper than paying a...

I am trying to decide on an overflow for my 125g. I want to use a tunze wavebox so I was thinking a small overflow would be ok to get the water into my skimmer/sump/refuge. This overflow box would be rated at 700gph and I would get a 950gph mag return pump. The sump will be a 55g with an...

What happens to my overflow when I install a wave box? Will it act normal or will the waves break the syphon and cause problems?

I am about to set up a 126g fowlr and need about 125lbs of LR for it. I would like to see some pictures of this rock from people who have boughten it and love it. Thanks a load! (of live rock)

So I keep gettign this red slime/algae on my sand bed. I will remove it (it comes up in mats) but it will regrow in a couple of days. How do I get rid of this? My Params are all 0. I have a pair of True percs and some corals. This is a 12g nano. Thanks

So my male clown is looking rather poor lately. He is looking pale and almost whitish along his face and back. I think my female is being aggressive towards him. He always hangs back in a corner. I was told this was a pair but should she be beating him up so badly? I don't believe it is ich, my...

Do you guys think there is any harm in putting the hand u just smoked a cig with in your tank right afterwards? Should I always wash my hands before putting them in the tank, if so, with what?

This summer I plan on upgrading from my nano to either a 24" cube or a 125g FOWLR tank. I come from freshwater so I love all the nice fish that I can do with the FOWLR, but I do love the looks of the reef and the challenges it presents. I can either invest in a custom 24x24x24cube to turn into...

I am starting one this summer and want to get ideas for my stock list. Thanks! -Alex

I am trying to find an angel for my 125 FOWLR I will be setting up this summer. I wanted a queen but was told they get way too big so I looked around and I found this guy. I absolutely love him, maybe more than the queen; on here it says 100g+ on some other sites it says 70g+ but when someone...

Hey I am thinking of converting our 125g freshwater into a FOWLR this summer and I had a few questions regarding set up and stock lists. I want to keep a nice amount of fish, which skimmers should I look into, and how much will a good skimmer cost me for a 125? How many lbs of LR do I need to...

So we live in a pretty bad area, and are students but we wanted to get our yard looking better so we hollowed out a huge stump in our front yard and planted daffodils from lowes in it. However they had already bloomed and started to wilt maybe from a lack of water? Anyway they havn't really...

I keep getting a problem with surface buildup. I tried the cassette surface skimmer but it didnt work on my nano. I was thinking of buying a real one and gluing it on but I wasn't sure if it would work because the sump portion of my nano is not water tight, water moves freely from the sides of...
