I'm with TM. Or just put some rubble in there. I would go with rubble over bioballs in any case.
Interesting....never considered that. I would just fill a third of the tank up withf LR (or dry rock) and call it good. That should do you just...
Justin started it, Justin pays for it. Or just forward the responsibility to Rhonda. Hehehehehe. How 'bout it TripleMom? Whatcha goin' to give us?
I would steer clear of the DSB. IMO, a 1.5 to 2 inch sand bed is about right.
Have I told anyone lately just how fine I am? OK, there is my post. Now it's time for all you ladies to agree with me. Go ahead.....I know...
I would want to know NH4, NO2, NO3, pH, Temp, Ca, Mg and PO4. Those are your basic parameters for a reef tank. And the poster is correct, it is too...
Ryan and Danny pretty much hit it on the head here. Around $700 in this economy. $1000 in a good economy. Seriously consider parting out. It...
Anything you put in there to get nitrates out takes time to cure. They work, to the best of my limited knowledge, like a denitrator. You need...
A noob mistake I have made here just recently was not changing out all of my quarter inch tubing in a timely manner. Almost caused a flood. Amazing...

Welcome to 3reef. May your stay here be most excellent......
Well, we split the last two fights. Yesterday, your new level 15 power really knocked me for a loop.....but I got you back today;D. I think we are...
My hippo is named Dori. The RIP clown was Nemo. The yellow damsel is Sunshine. The Yellow-Tail Damsel is bluey. The Three Striped Damsel is, yes,...
It does. It depends on the school district. My Dad was a Biology teacher at high school level. In that school, the funding was such that he was...
The wet-dry system is very, very good when set up properly. There are two other possiblilities: A denitrator (about $100 shipped) and the sump/fuge...
