bump.

Have a couple items up for sale from a build that I never finished. I bought the tank/stand, lights, and skimmer together. After doing some research I concluded that the skimmer is a DIY. The previous owner said he bought it from a LFS that stated it was rater for a 200 gallon tank. The only...

Thanks alot guys. Fuge light is now on 24/7 and i picked up some hungry Mexican turbo snails. Going to add my first couple fish within the next week.

So should i be okay starting to add fish slowly? Or i guess i can add fish food to increase bio-load and fish food. I'm just afraid that the DT algae will take off too much. I was planning to take care of all the algae in the DT before adding fish. Any suggestions? Are you saying to leave the...

My phosphate and nitrate levels read 0 according to an API test kit. I am only running a phosphate reacter with no bio pellets or vodka dosing. My tank has just finished its cycle about 2 weeks ago. I do have some hair algae and possibly cyano growth in the DT. The refugium also has a brown...

I recently bought a used tank that was neglected for a couple months. It was in pretty bad shape. I started off by cleaning the aquarium the best I could with paper towels and some scrubbers (being very careful not to scratch the glass). After that I setup the entire aquarium including the sump...

If you plan on just using your return pump for the only source of flow its going to be to low. Depending on what you're keeping in your tank you will need 20x -50x, and sometimes more, flow per the size of your tank (1200-3000 gph). With that being said you will need to have power heads in your...

Thanks for all the input everyone. Im playing around with different cfl's at the moment. If that doesn't wor ill most likely look into the jbj nano glo light.

Thats why i love reef aquariums. You never know what the reef and its inhabitants are going to do. I just keep my fingers crossed that whatever it is doesn't turn into a headache. Thats a nice looking cube you got there. How many gallons is it?

just got done cycling my first reef tank. I will now always fear having any worms in my tank haha.

Hmmm okay. Another problem could be the fact that I only have one sea hare in the tank at the moment and possibly have low nutrients. I initially set up the fuge with cfl because I read that the best type of light to use dir chaeto. I do have an extra 24 watt pc light I can use and of that...

Today i picked up some pH calibration for my pH probe, refilled my ATO tank, and watched my new sea hare munch on some algae!

If i'm using a HOB filter for my QT tank is there a difference between foam and sponge for the media? Will they both be able to host beneficial bacteria?

For some reason my chaeto isn't growing (or if it is its extremely slow). I've had my refugium up and running for about a month now.I use a CFL bulb with a rating of 5100k about 4 inches above the water. The fuge has flow that allows the chaeto to tumble. Instead of the chaeto growing there is a...

*ats spelling typo

Would it be possible to use refugium bulbs instead of power compacts for a ars? Thanks for all the info I might have to start up a new project soon haha

If I have to I will do that, but I would rather save my money if it won't have a major affect on thr tank inhabitants.

Hi everyone, Im setting up my first saltwater tank and have got all my equipment and am in the process of cycling my tank. I picked up a used 1/4th chiller from my LFS the brand was ActiveAqua. I havent heard of this brand so i looked it up and found it on a lot of hydroponic websites. The...
