It's a Coralife 65

I have a 55 ga FOWLR, with the following: 65 - 70 lbs live rock 3 - 4 inches live sand dual biowheel 400 filter Coralife 65 protein skimmer The tank is about 2 months old and fully cycled. All water parameters are perfect. Here's my problem. My skimmer is not producing any foam at...

You mentioned that you may put in a few more lbs of live rock and someone said it might be too much. I have a 55 ga with about 70 lbs and will add about another 15 or so. Live rock is esential for proper filtration and tank health. From some of your pix it looks like you might want to keep...

Reefmate.......... The lights are a dual Daylight (6700/10000K) and a dual Actinic (420/460nm). I'm pretty sure that's more than enough quality light for a BTA. There was a small amont of brown tendils on it when I bought it. The LFS assured me that it was healthy and would bounce right back...

I purchased a medium green BTA from my LFS last week and it seems to be doing poorly. I have 2 ocelaris clowns that don't even know the BTA exists. It's a 55ga with 60 - 70 lbs LR and 4 " of live sand. I placed the BTA on the sand and he seems to be having trouble getting anchored. Flow is...

I have a new 55 Gal FOLR tank that is just starting to cycle. Emperor 400 bio wheel filter, Coralife 65 skimmer, 3 - 4" live sand, 60 - 70 lbs live rock. Here's the quesion: Once the tank is fully cycled I'd like to stock it with the most hardy fish I can find that still have some color and...

Ok folks, here's the question(s): Setting up a 55Gal FO tank. It will have about 60lbs live rock, 3"bed of live sand. For a filter I have a Emperor 400 Bio Wheel. What power heads? How many? I plan on using a Coralife 65 for a protein skimmer. Good choice? What are thoughts on a UV filter? What...

Thanks for the advice!! What did you use for your clean-up crew?

Not rocket science.......... Of course it would make sense to first drain much of the water. Then work some thin wooden shims under the edges of the tank and then cut/pull away the carpet. The trick is to shim evenly all around the tank. You say you already have a gap so that's the perfect...

Here's a tough one........... I've "inherited" the maintenance and transformation of an existing 55g FO tank. Right now it has about 60 - 70 lbs of live rock, 3 -4" of live sand and is a total mess. All fish died, tons of algae, tons of unknown growth on the rock. My first impulse is to throw...

Hello all......... I have a 55 gallon tank that I'm going to re-establish from scratch. Right now I plan to have live sand (might consider crushed coral), live rock and fish only. Can anyone offer suggestions or recommendations for a protein skimmer and filters? Previously I had the tank set...
