ok..i was just checking... didn't know if it meant something. thanks for replying matt

first off it sucked!!! second i had a deep sand bed of 4'' and when i moved the tank there was a bit of an odor from the sand...and the tank... i've had a problem with hair algea... so i thought that might be it. Not sure if anyone knows what it might be... or if it's just normal. It never...

i just have a goniopora (SP?) and that's what the guy told me to do... it seemed very wierd.

i laughed at the subject line of this thread... man it took me forever...just pull the rock out... i tried with the rock. After about 30 min. all the rock was out. I got em but it probably took 2 hrs to get 3 yellow tails. good luck

my LFS told me about pulling corals and such out of you aquarium to be placed in a bucket for 20 min. to be fed... So i was thinking, couldn't you just go to home depot and buy a large piece of pipe that would fit around the coral/sponge/clam you were feeding. Then you could place the pipe...

cool, thanks everyone. I think i'm just going to get 2 and space them 3 ft apart... i'll add some blue filler light as well.

I was planning on getting three 250w MH lights over my 125 long (6ft) tank...one / 2 foot like they suggest.... i'm starting to think that if i have 2 it would be enough. I could put clams in the middle under the most intense parts and still have the sides of my aquarium for my lower light...

i'm pretty sure they are...i'm planning on getting one

I just drilled that hole, thanks for the info. My sump is 15 gallons. I wanted to run that sump with a wet/dry i used on my old 75 gallon setup. Do you think i can run two overflows at the same time? thanks matt

Ok, so i think i have a good sump system going, then bam a 15 gallon overflow... so i revamped the system... Now i have a syphon to a 15 gallon sump under the aquarium... then another overflow box to take it to a wet/dry. But now the wet/dry pumps the water out faster than the 15 gallon sump...

thanks, i will... i figured it would make sense.

I am about to start one with my 125 setup... my question is do you put a sand bottom in the refugium? I have an extra bag of southdown i could use... i have a 4'' dsb now in the actual tank. The refugium will be 15 gallons. I'd like to put some macro algea in it. any suggestions. thanks matt

gotcha, thanks all...

I am cycling my tank now and i was thinking of getting some more live rock. Since i am cycling i figured i could save a few $ by buying uncured LR. However i can't find any place that sells it. If someone knows where i could buy some please email me at mvogel2@yahoo.com I love this site and...

not putting anything in right now...just LR....just wanted to make sure i wasn't killing copepods. thanks all

Ok, so i finally got everything running in m new 125 tank... however my heater has not arrived yet in the mail and my current temp is 75. Is this too cold to start a cycle??? I also added a little piece of live rock to it...i wanted to add more but i was afraid the lower temp would kill a lot...

I wanted to do this, but is there any precautions i need to take to make sure the algea doesn't get sucked into the return pump? Also can i add macro algea to a cycling tank? thanks in advance matt

thanks all, i feel better. I'm not sure what type it is... i know it's very branchy and is a bright purple. I bought it for 20 bucks. thanks again

yeah i just did a search on them... i think i got the general idea. Just a pipe with some holes, does it quiet it down just because it's slowing the waterflow?

it's loud in the overflow, the waterfall part....where the water from the U tube fills up and flows into the area that has the drain and prefilter sponge... it's a constant draining noise. I fulled around with the sponge and it got a little quiter, maybe i need a bigger sponge. I am using 1''...
