Would you be willing to do $250? I also live in the high desert.

Thanks, also is there anything special that I need to know about chillers or is it just a plug in and hook up?

Hi everyone So I have a 130 gal set up and I’m currently looking to add a chiller to my system. I’m new to this and want to know what I should be looking for as in size and any other helpful advise about adding a chiller to a system would be greatly appreciated. thanks Mike

Hey guys Looking into buying a new return pump for my 130 gallon. Just trying to get suggestions on what's out there that is good to buy and lasts. I'm looking for a good pump to run the display 130 and my dual reactor. Any input on any pump would be great. Thanks in advance for the input and...

So my whole set up is 130 gal tank with a 60 gal refugium underneath. I have all live sand and rock in both the tank and sump. Also have a jebao rw8 wavemaker. Also the has been up for 11 months. All the fish have been in the tank for 6+ months just fine. Also added 3 frags of polyps and zoa but...

So the other day I lost my blue hippo tang and then I did a 30% water change and today I found 3 more fish dead so I tested my water again and my levels are Ph 8.2 ammonia 0.25 nitrite 0 nitrate 10 phosphate 0.25. Wanted to see what I should do to get these levels down and what I should be doing...

It's just really weird because I've had this tang for 10 months and he's always eaten and never acted weird to suspect any kind of disease on him.

So today I found my blue hippo tang laying on the sand and I took it out and can't figure out what happened to it. If someone could please tell what it is and why it happened so I know how to prevent it for the future, I greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advanced

Thanks guys for the help. I been lost on what to look fpr because I seen posts on all kinds of pumps like reef octopus and ehiem.

I was thinking of modifying the canopy. I just want to make sure I get a decent priced led light that will be able to keep nice coral in my tank because I plan to buy lots of coral in the future.

But how many would I need to cover my tank?

Hey guys right now I'm running a rio1200 in my refugium and wanted to know if there's anything better that's just if not more quieter and gives me the flow I need for my tank. Also what turnover you would recommend for my tank. Because I wanna run that and 2 wave makers in the tank.

Hey guys im currently looking for suggestions on led lights. I want to get a affordable led system and wanted to know whats out there. I would prefer to get a led system that doesnt require hanging so it can go under my canopy. But would still want full spectrum. All your guys input is...

Thanks guys I will try to do those things. I have added some anemone and frags to the tank but dont think they had anything on them. Also ill retest the levels again.

Ok so my tank has been up and running for 8 months now and my water levels are all fine and within good readings. But I have been noticing now with the last month the green algae has been growing more then usual. Is this a bad sign and if it is what should I do to fix it.
