Question regarding lighting for a 47 gallon column 20" x 18"x 30". I have been researching and preparing for a much larger tank but my space is limited and I will not be buying a larger house like I had planned. I found this column tank and Petsmart and I really like the dimensions for the...

Anybody out there using these? Just kind of curious about the quality of the timers. Are there any reasons out there that anyone is aware of to go with a T5 strip that doesn't have timers? I don't want to buy something like this and have a timer go out in a year leaving me with a light thats...

I know that many water parameter factors contribute to Red Slime algae, but do UV filters aid in removal and prevention?

I want to pick your brains a little more if I could please. As some of you may have noticed I posed several different scenarios on future builds. It has been two years since my last reef (90 gallon). This time I just want to do a community tank. Have found a couple of tanks on C-list of and on...

I know corals and anemones are not safe with butterfly fish, but how about other inverts? Such as shrimp, crabs, and stars?

Got a question for some of you reefers. I've been planning a large predatory tank but I think Im gonna stick to my roots and build another reef. My last reef was a 90 and I was limited on some of the larger tang species. What size would a Naso, orange shoulder, and possibly a yellow coexist for...

I think the skimmer is an ASM, but not for sure. The power head on the skimmer is a Model KSP-5000 (according to the seller). I found this setup on C-list but its a few hours away so I haven't seen it yet. What all am I looking at in the sump pic?

Im in the process of doing an extensive amount of homework before starting my 180 FOWLR build this year. I appreciated the cleaning that my inverts did for my reef tank and would like to see what would survive in my future tank. I have been considering a porky and am quite sure that no invert...

Any of you out there that could offer up pics of their DIY stand and canopy projects? I built my last setup for a 90 gallon and it turned out really well but I would change a few things on the next go round. I want as much access to my sump area underneath as possible for a 180. Give me some...

Just wanted some input on keeping dwarf angels in the same system. Saltwaterfish of course doesn't want to ship two angels but we all know they can be maintained in a large enough system. Anybody think there would be any problems with 2 dwarf angels in a 125-150?

Want some input on skimmer selection. What would be your skimmer of choice for a 150 with a bunch of messy eaters (snowflake, porky, trigger, etc)? I was considering doing a sumpless, but I think that idea is out the window due to skimmer selection. So help me out with any skimmers you have had...

Anyone out there ever used one of the Acient Mariner power vacs?

What do you think is the substrate of choice for a 150 with puffer, triggers, etc? Would you use a thin layer of crushed coral or some of the larger reef sands? This will be a substrate that is vacumed often.

This is my first thread so nice to meet you guys and gals. I am looking to start up a FOWLR 150-180 gallon aggressive tank and was thinking about going sumpless for a few reasons. First I will tell you a little about my previous experience. My first tank was a 90 gallon that I bought with the...
