I started my tank wish a couple boxes of IO Ocean Water. Now I just buy the mix.
I'll have to see if I can get out there sometime. Right now I don't need anymore rock, but when I get my new tank going I will. I want a 300,...
I wish I had an LFS that sold good rock. All the stuff by me is brown and dead looking. The one store that does sell ok rock, sells it for $11 a...
It is also green under high lighting, forgot to mention that.
Coraline is a purple aglae that will eventually cover all the rocks in your tank. It's not like other algaes which are bad. You'll know the purple...
I didn't realize you bought your rock at the LFS. I though you ordered it. Most places don't keep their rock in water, they just mist it. Most of...
Looking at your tank I don't see coraline. Is there any in the tank at all? If not you may want to find something to seed it. You could add a...
Distilled is much better than RO, but you do have to make sure there is no copper in it. Some processing plants will use copper piping. Just pick...
That's not a bad idea. I could put pumps in the overflow. Then I could put the returns on the top corners. I am thinking of getting those jets...
There is another piece of plastic behind the first. The lower slits allow the water to come in, but it must overflow the overflow. :) The second...
All the water would be running to the sump via gravity. This is how my current system works. If the pumps fail the overflow stops after a gallon or...
Are you using the clown to cycle the tank. Because if you just added new rock all your levels are going to shoot up really high.
I've got some too. Mine didn't fully open for a couple of days. I mostly feed them zoo plankton, but lately I've been feeding them brine. I've got...
I use Kent Nitrate sponges in 800 micron bags. My Nitrates stay around 0. I feed my tank quite a bit too. You could try a deeper sand bed,...
Good point. I have thought of a couple of things. I am planning on sectioning off chambers in the box, if one pump fails it won't be a problem. If...
I just picked one of those up. It's great, I do loose suction though. I've had everything empty out on my carpet, not fun. But when it works it's...
Kent Iodine. I buy it by the half gallon and dose with kalk. I use the recommended amount for a week.
Welcome to 3Reef. You will find everyone very helpful here. My tank would have crashed and burned on the first day if it wasn't for this site....
So I'm getting a house and now I can get a bigger tank. I'm looking at a 180 but I hate the way overflow boxes look. They stick out, they are...
My thermometer wasn't working and I thought my chiller was wrong. It got up to 79. I use my chiller all the time. My apartment is always...
