Appreciate the advice and realities of the various options. Thanks.

I am looking to upgrade my 55 gal corner reef tank and be able to have some corals survive and thrive. Currently have 130 watts. Should I go for 250 watt MH or 400 W? Could I leave the glass top on or does this cause too much heat buildup. Thanks for any help and suggestions, I really am...

Hope this is in the right thread, this has all changed since I have been here last. I don't see a search option so I thought I would post. My tank is going great (1 year old)but develops red cynobacteria about every three months. I have added a power head but it didn't seem to change the...

I need the pump for a wet/dry, would that be internal or external? Looking at Mag pumps on the net it looks as though they have an input and output hole as opposed to the RIO that has the input vents. Am I lookin at the right ones? How about pond pumps from home depot garden stores, any...

any suggestions where to order a Mag pump, lfs's only have Rio, is there a good online source? thanks

I have a Rio 1700 and it is now making loud noises and vibrating annoyingly, this is the second one I have had in 3 months. I have read where people do not like them much. Is there a better pump to get and where can I find it? Thanks, my wife is quite annoyed with the noise. 54 gal corner...

Read a lot lately on sand sifting stars. Thought I would try one. I put him in Tues. and not 30 seconds later he disappeared, althought it looked like he buried himself as there seem to be an outline in the sand. My question for those of you experienced with these stars is; do these guys work...

How do you all do the super glue thing. Do you take out the rocks and dry or what? Fairl y new to reef and I haven't figured this one out yet. thanks for any help.

I too received my first order from swf last week and I was very pleased. It did take a long time with all the bags etc but well worth the effort. My only "complaint" is they said to expect a week delay on first orders and I got it in 3 days. I was not quite ready but everything turned out great.

I got 3 ricordia with my live rock purchase, two are doing great on the sand bed, the third is struggling, color is not bright and it does not spread out like the other two as I have tried several different spots (left it there for 2-3 days at each spot). Do any of you out there any ideas that...

rhonda in denver where have you found a good lfs. I am in north denver and can't say I have found any great stores.

Does anybody know of a good light setup for a 54 gal corner tank. It will fit a 30 inch light strip. I have found a jbj 130 W light strip but am afraid it does not have enough W for a reef tank with soft corals. Any ideas would be helpful. thanks
