I was looking up phosphate reactors, and I found that there are some pretty expensive ones out there that look just the same as the cheaper ones!! I was thinking about getting the 2 little fishies 550. it is $60 compared to almost $300 for an octopus that looks identical. can anyone here...

power is out due to storm. I have been up all morning moving water in my tank with a cup for oxygen. My question does anyone know how long fish can go without some kind of water movement? Because i need to go to work

my buddy has a 180 gal tank that he slacked off on the maintenence. his tank is pretty much taken over by GHA. so i went over there and helped him for a couple hours. i put some filter pad in the sump so it could pick up all the stuff we stirred up. and we also put some phosban in the sump...

100 gal tank 30 gal sump

just like the title says. i feed a mix of rods food pellet and flake food's. the tank is well established plenty of algae to graze on. i have only had the fish for prob 2 months but when i got him he hadn't started changing when i got him.

i am lookin for a good skimmer thats not so big i have around a 10''x8'' spot in my sump. i was looking last night and all i could really find that looked like it was worth a crap was the coral life super skimmer rated for 220 gal and the footprint was 6x8''. the other option i was thinking...

i have tried just about everything. i cut my lighting scedule back from 12 hours to 8. cut back feeding about %75. i blow it off my rocks every day,and catch the floating stuff with net, plus i put a filter sock on my overflow pipe to sump, to catch what i don't. i have a turf scrubber in sump...

so i am ordering my new lights in 8 days, and like the title says i can't wait!!! i am getting the aqua illumination sol blue fixture. i still don't know if im getting 2 or 3 of them. i have been doing a lot of research on them and some say 2 will be good, and some say i need 3. so i emailed AI...

i really don't know if this is possible but i wanna remove the center brace and replace it with a glass center brace or maybe even 2 glass braces,and split the tank in three seperate spaces. the reason i am wanting to do this, is i am getting some aqua illumination led's in the middle of august...

i have been researching led fixture's and i have it narrowed down to either the ecoray or the aqua illumination's. here are my concern's with the AI fixture the dimensions are only 5 1/4 x 11 3/4 inches and my tank dimensions are 72''x18''x18'' with a center brace, so i have 2 sides that are...

everytime i stick my hand in my tank water it shocks me! and sometimes it's a pretty good jolt! but everything in my tank is doing fine. and even when i stick my finger in there and it shocks me they still have no reaction at all. what could be causing this and why is it shocking me and they are...

got 2 new acro's today, will get pic's up tommorow. i am slowly but surely going to make my 100 gal into sps dominant tank. the top is already pretty well stocked with sps. but i do wish that i wouldnt have put the monti digita's in there, i just don't care for them that much. but it's a lil...

have had this coral about 2 months. the first couple days the polyps were open good and then never again. i have moved it to 4-5 different spots but still nothing. today i checked some levels alk was higher than usual around 11 and calcium was low at around 425 so i added a lil calcium. do you...
