    100g to 16g tank downgrade

    Due to the lack of time I can now devote to such a large tank and not to mention the cost, I've decided to downgrade to something more manageable. The new tank is a Innovative Marine 16 Nuvo. It was dropped off earlier today by UPS and is waiting for me at home. I've already picked up a stand...

    How high do you have your lights above your tank?

    To direct as much light into the tank as possible I have my t5 fixture about 2-3 inches above the tank. I think at this height it is transferring too much heat into the water. I'm thinking of raising it to 10-12 inches. Would this be too high to give adequate light to the corals. I have mostly...

    Did I get a faulty chiller?

    Picked up an Aqua Euro USA Mighty Chiller 1/4 hp chiller off a guy on craigslist. With no way to really test if it is working correctly I took his word that it works. Got it plumbed and running since this afternoon but the temp never dropped below 85. I have it set at 78. I can hear and feel...

    Got a green brittle starfish. Did I make a noob mistake?

    Because it looked cool and seems to have quite a character when I saw it at the LFS I got it without researching. Looks like a big mistake. Seems they are highly predatory and will eat small fishes and shrimps. I'm a bit concern now since I have a small clown, hawkfish and a medium cleaner shrimp.

    What should my expectations be on growth once I start dosing?

    Since starting my tank a few months ago I've never been very serious about my ca, alk and mg levels. I dose kent marine 2 part solution maybe one or twice a week only. Tried a few sps but haven't had much luck. Some died while the rest are stagnant on growth. I should have a BRS 2 part dosing...

    Temporary tank break down

    I am going to be breaking down my 100g for a few hours so I can mount the hanging kit for my lights. My plan is to put all corals and livestock in as many buckets as I can with an air pump blowing into them. Live rock will go into a 32g bin with a powerhead for water movement. All water will be...

    Dosing pump

    I was looking BRS's 2 part dosing pump and have a few questions about a dosing setup. Is this pump actually 2 pumps in one unit? If yes, would it be better to get 2 separate units for Ca and Alk so that they can be dosed at separate times? Does your source containers have to be air tight for...

    Sea fans

    I don't see many tanks with these. Are they just too hard to keep? I like the look of them and was thinking about getting some.

    LFS vs local fraggers for best prices

    So far I've gotten all my corals from various fraggers in the area through the forums here and CL. I went to 2 LFS and looked around but never really asked for their prices on corals. I'm still a beginner in the hobby so I don't think I'm really ready for frags over $20. Once I gain more...

    FS/FT: Coralife 48" 4x54w with moonlight

    Came with the tank I bought but just upgraded so I don't need it anymore. Original owner said they put about 2 months on it and about 5 with me. Original coralife bulbs (2 10k, and 2 atinic) and 4 moonlights built in. I don't know if mounting legs ever came with it but they're not in the...
