Hello all, I haven't posted in a bit but I have been reading (have to do something at work). Ok my tank is a 90g with a 30g sump mixed reef. Mainly LPS and Zoas/Pally right now but with Mr. BTLDReef's help I am starting to get into SPS. The tank is a year old. I had a nasty flatworm...

So I have been running 2 Two little fishies 150 reactors. One with Phosban and one with Carbon. I just emptied them and changed the filter pads. I decided to run seagel in one and Purigen in the next. The Seagel went perfect but the Purigen got past the filter pad and in 20 seconds dumped...

I have a 90g reef tank that I was running 2 x 250w MH and 2 x 54w T5 Blue + on. I only have LPS, Zoas/pally's and softies in the tank right now. I do have a GBTA but he hides from most of the light right now. The tank is in my small office in the basement and the lights are retrofitted into...

It has been in my tank less than 24 hours so hasn't opened up completely but I had to share. I saw this in a local reefers tank when I was picking up Purple Hornets from him. Told him if he ever frags it i wanted it and he called yesterday :) He bought one pollup 5 years ago. He had 10-12...

I am thinking about getting this considering it is only $20 or so more than the test kit and they say it is quick and accurate. Is it accurate? Thanks in advance for your help :)

My LFS has two small ones and they look pretty cool but i can't find much about them? Does anyone know care and whether this will host my clowns? Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have come to realize that some brands of test kits are great for certain tests but crap for others. What I need your help with is what to buy for each test. The tests i run now are PH Ammonia Nitrite Nitrate Phosphate Calcium Magnesium Alkalinity I have API tests for PH, Ammonia, Nitrite...

I have been thinking how much waste water I create making RO/DI and frightened to get my next water bill. I am going on the premise that waste water is actually not bad water just not RO/DI. From most that I read it is actually better filtered than tap. With that I have come up a plan I may...

Hey guys, I just put a pair of Pecula clowns in my tank Sunday night. The tank is about two months old now. The only corals i have right now is a small Duncan colony, a few assorted Zoas frags and a colony of poly's. The clowns are currently trying to host on the Duncans :) The Duncans are...

I would appreciate any help in choosing a bulb to use. I have been googling around all day and am more confused now than before. All I seem to find is peoples opinions and honestly I trust this communities opinions more so i figured I would ask Background: I have a 90g tank so 24'' deep. I...

Finally after much planning (and rethinking decisions) I am going to figure out how to hook up my RO/DI and start adding water. I have been picking this community's brain for a little over a month so most know what I have but here is a recap 90g RR Tank/Stand and Canopy DIY 30g sump with 3...

I ordered a Mag 9.5 pump and they delivered me the pondmaster Mag 9.5. Does it make a difference? The instructions tell you how to maintain it in saltwater. Is it the same pump? I really don't want to have to return it can you tell :)

I have always kept agressive fish only tanks so I have very little feel for reef fish. The tank is a 90g with a 30g sump. Planning on putting between 100-120 lbs of rock. I would really like a pair of Peula clowns. My wife really likes the idea of mated pairs. Can you keep multiple types of...

Finally finished redoing my office and it is time to concentrate on the tank. The first thing I was planning on doing was building my sump/refugium. The tank is going to be a 90g BTW. The sump I got was a 30g. I got the glass cut. I was planning on 3 sections. 1st- skimmer, intake and 2...

Thank you everyone for looking and helping out. I promise to pay it forward to others once I get out of newbie land. I have had salt water fish only tanks for awhile now but realize now how much I don't know (bad advice from a LFS). I plan on taking this build slow and careful. Right now I...

I am currently building out a new 90g reef tank and attempting to set up a 30g sump. The 90g is drilled the 30g is not. My original thought was 3 chambers seperated by baffles. The first section would have a sock that the intake is going into, a Aqua C 180 Skimmer on a stand built from pvc...

I bought a used light fixture for a new 90g reef I am going to set up soon. It has 2 x 150 watt 10,000k Metal Halides (Ushio bulbs) 2 sets of 55 watt PC's and 2 sets of 36 watt pc's. I was planning on replacing the pc's before I used it. Right now the 55 watts are 10000k and the 36 watts are...

ok here I go. Setting up a 90g I am leaning towards reef right now. In the past I have always taped the stupid blue background to my tanks. Do you guys recommend painting the back of the tank? Blue or Black? Is there a type of paint to stay away from? Thank you in advance for any help...
