I have two 250watt hqi oceanlight pendants and want to add some supplement actinics and would like to hear your opinions. After all my research, I just keep tossing 2 things back and forth. Either a tek 60" 2-80 watt t5 or a 72" vho 2 bulb retrofit with uri bulbs(so I don't need reflectors)...

I can and will feed the tank if I must, but I was looking for some sps I could keep without phyto. I use a turf scrubber which may help release some food. I was hoping montipora digi or carpi would work.

I have a close loop setup that is producing microbubbles. I have tried sealing the intake portion of the plumbing and resealing the plug in my dart. I have also tried reducing the number of outlets and the output flow to see if the pump had any cavatation issues. I have also let the pump rest...

Like the look just don't have sand. Would my inverts(crabs) pick the roots, or is it worth a shot?

I currently have 1 B&W clown, would it be ok to add 1 perc 1 blue hippo tang 1 royal gramma maybe a sixline after I ease these fish in? What do ya think Over 150 lbs LR, bare bottom

I have only one b&w clown. My thoughts were to add a second clown, either orange or black, not sure. Maybe a six line wrasse and a goby of sorts. Any other combos that would work well? I may add a tang later but not for 6-12 months.(reef tank) 130-150 lbs live rock, bare bottom

Before I set up my 125 acrylic, I am going to add a closed loop. Would it be ok to drill these holes? 3-1" bulkheads 4" up on the back wall(evenly spaced) 2-1.5" bulkheads on the bottom 1-1.5" bulkhead on the upper back wall corner I realize the hole sizes are larger than the bulkheads, I was...

I would like to put a closed loop on my tank(125L) before I set it up. Are there any restrictions on where I can drill the holes? All the holes will be on the back wall. Depth was my main worry. I run a bare bottom and would likesome of the outlets to spray the bottom glass(for movement)...

I'm in the process of building my own skimmer for a larger tank (250+). I was thinking a 4'*4 or 6" Dia. body with a possible recurc. Most likely it will be a venturi, but I am definitely wanting it to work, so I would appreciate any suggestions.

Have had these mushrooms for some time and they are great. I was just looking to confirm an ID:

How much air should the venturi be sucking in. When I first set it up, it was pulsing as it sucked in air(wet skimmate). So I tried letting less air in, we shall see. My question is, Is there a optimal air in take and a way to observe, find it?

Any one know how to make or where to get a needle wheel impeller for either of these pumps

Okay, I have an 8 gal fuge on my 40 breeder and have been looking for something to stir the sand and munch on the detritus. I have done research but am having trouble finding a suitable clean. Clam maybe, cuke (proly too big), crabs eat pods and suck at sifting, snail maybe Any help from...

Is feeding montipora digi a must for growth? Is feeding hammer a must? Is feeding brain a must? I ask because I currently am not using DT's any longer and would like to make an addition with a gift card I got. I feed my sun coral and would be willing to feed it directly, I just don't want to...

I have a all glass 110watt pc, but I want to run just one 55 over my fuge. Can it be done without harming the ballast more than normal and will it still pull the 110+ or less?

I want to use this just as a top off, no dosing. I will need about a 1-1.5 galon a drip. I assume it can be set to that rate, right?

What should I start at for my photo period and how slow should I increase I was thinking like 3 hours and increasing 30min. a week up to somewhere between 7 and 8 hours All softies except my yellow sun, my newest addition(last week)

just like it sounds, the water level in my overflow box(s) goes up and down(inside box and outside box both). Too much flow? Need more air? Help cant seem to find solution in search I turned the flow down and it seems to make it better but it still goes on 1" hob overflow, 1" u-tube have a mag...

Right now I have 220watts pc in a 90% enclosed hood(ballast in the hood also). I am going to put on a 250watt HQI and remove the enclosure. Do you guys think heat will be an issue? Runs at 80-81 deg., no fans currently blowing across the water surface, just aggitation from my sump return...

These things are so big, do I just cut a clipping from the edge?
