If it's 6ft, you'll probably want to look into cross bracing as well. I'd imagine the middle of the tank would bow out unless it has some support.
You're off to a great start! Congrats on the inheritance... that's not half bad of a deal :)
NO!!! We tried this one in the past and they are absolutely NOT saltwater aquarium safe. The stainless steel brand we bought from Lowe's does fine...
We haven't tried putting kent phosphate sponge in our reactors yet, but so far all of the phosphate remover's we've come across are more powdery than...
Yes. I'd recommend a light with individual reflectors like I mentioned earlier though. The individual reflectors help to get the most light possible...
What type of lighting?
If you don't use a filter (which means you won't be using carbon, phosphate remover, nitrate remover, or anything else) be prepared for slightly less...
We use Two Little Fishies Phosban Reactors (Two Little Fishies Phosban Reactor). They're cheaper and work every bit as good. We can get one for you...
If you're not going to have a sump, then I would at least build a raised shelf from egg crate to put the corals on and put the live rock under the...
You can find acrylic frag tanks on ebay for fairly cheap. You'll need a sump, pump, and enough live rock to fit whatever size frag tank you choose...
We exclusively use Air Water Ice (they are a sponsor on this forum - airwaterice.com). They have amazing customer service, pretty good prices, and...
Those can all be used together. We recently began experimenting with purigen, but weren't very impressed. I'd personally recommend just using phosban...
Are you sure it's 140 and not 14? 140 is extremely high! If it really is that high, I'd probably be doing 50% water changes every single day until it...
As long as you change the water regularly, I don't see how it could add phosphates faster than you're taking them out. I can tell you that we have...
If you'd like, we could order you a new one :) Or we have some extra used maxi-jet 1200's sitting around in perfect condition if you'd like to buy...
Many fish stores use egg create (light diffuser) in their frag tanks to hold the coral plugs. I've seen just about every color egg crate under the...
So that they don't get superglue on their fingers! Just kidding... We touch a lot of things all day long and something may not react well with the...
I think you forgot to attach your pic. If euro-bracing is bending up, that would be a sign of too much stress pushing in on the tank, not the water...
I'm not positive on the maxijets, haven't taken one apart in several months, but I think there is a soft plastic piece on one end of the impeller to...
Would you like any colors/sizes in particular? We've had a few others ask for the same thing so we'll probably be getting a large quantity of those...
