I am looking for ideas or a plan for the baffles in a 55G tank. I am going to set the tank up as a Sump/ Frag Tank. I also have ETSS skimmer which will be mounted extrenaly on the right side and the water will be coming in on the left. I want to make the center of the tank have pretty high...

Looking for a 180 or 220 Reef Ready tank in the central florida area. I am also looking for a stand and canopy. I am looking for a scratchless tank and furinture quality stand and canopy. Please let me know if you have something like this you are willing to part with at a reasonable cost. I...

I agree that it seems like it is some kind of checmical imbalance but I am not sure what I should be testing for. I have Salifert kits for Nitrates, PO4, and Calcium. What else do I need to get outside of the obvious KH and MAG kits?

My starting temp is 79.5 which is controlled by my RK2. I also do water changes about every 2 weeks or so. I add 4 capfuls of Oceans Blend MAG every week and 3 caps of Kent Iodine and Kalk when needed. The other noticable problems I have is my leathers tend to stay closed, my xenia don't pulse...

I was wrong that my bulbs are not 20K, they are actually XM 14K. My friend was actually using 20K. They are all in decent locations as far as proximity to the surface and are not being shaded by anything. I did not transfer the sand bed over. My 125 was actually set up as a predator tank for...

Nothing is overgrowing the flow direction. My corals all open completely during the day except my leathers which just seem to open when they feel like it. I have seen them with color becuase some are frags out of friends tanks and some I have fragged and they regained some color in their tanks...

Really? I have always gone about 12 months before replacing my bulbs but I don't think that is the problem since these corals have never had color in this tank.

No phosphates, and no fish picking on them. The bubls in the MHs are probably about 6 mo old and the VHOs are about 4mo old. I haven't moved them since i placed them in the tank either. I also have pretty good flow with a 6 output CLS at about 2400GPH and a 2100GPH return pump. Thank you for...

I have a 125 that I set up about 6 months ago that I tranfered from a 75. It has 2 MH 400W 20Ks and 2 160W VHOs 50/50. All of my parameters are in check but some of my corals seem to be dull in color or brown. Pieces that I know are different colors are just plan brown. Everything seems to be...

Anybody have any aquacontrollers for sale?

Carbon will also remove your essential elements so you need to be replacing them at least once a week if you continually run carbon. Most people including the manufactures suggest only using it for 3 or 4 days in a row. Water changes sound like the best resolution right now. Not sure how your...

What they have said is correct but a couple other suggestions to speed it along are to use a Kent addative called Purple Up (have not used it so I can't say how well it works) and/or scrap a section of coralline to help spread it around the tank.

They are right, is does depend on what you want to put in your tank but the difference is cost is not that great between 4 48" VHOs and 2x48" VHO with 2x250W MH. I hate having limitations, I can promise you that over the years you will probably come across something that you want and can't keep...

I would go for 2x250 for your 90 with a couple 48" VHOs. 2 MHwill cover a 48" tank but becuase a 90 is a deep tank you want something a little stronger to reach the bottom. 2x175 will work but you will have to keep low light corals near the bottom and they will still probably reach up. They are...

Some fish are just born carpet surfers....sorry bad joke. Hey Lil-Miss Nano I saw your message in the classifieds section looking for frags in the Daytona Beach Area. I might have a couple frags for you. Send me a pm if your interested.

I had a pretty bad flatworm problem, the clear kind, and have tried for months to siphon them out with little progress. I even added a "flatworm eater" Sixline Wrasse. As a last resort I turned to Saliferts Flat Worm exit, with a complete understanding of the risk involved. I followed the...

I have to agree with everybody above. I started with a 30G and 7 tanks later have a 150G. Many of the tanks have the same footprint but a different depth. For example the 90 takes up the same amount of room as a 75 but is slightly taller so I would go with the 90 or the 150 is slightly taller...

I have these as well and they do multiply extremely quickly. I always just pulled them off the rock at their base. They don't usually attach themselves that well. If you slowly romove it by hand you will probably get the entire thing and it should never grow back. I also went the trading...

https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/265938/another-unknown-creature-in-the-tank-question Thanks Reefreak! That is exactly what it is. Strangest thing I think I have ever seen in a LFS. Above is a post I found that pictures one. Do you guys know anything about them? Would they be a good addition...
