Can you just put some phosban and some carbon in the two little fishes or is running it as a multi-media reactor a bit harder than that? Also-can...
How can I tell if it is tempered glass? I bought the tank used. Also-should I get a Mag 5 and invest in better powerheads?
Thanks guys-that definitely clears things up. I don't know if I'm going to do overflow or drill-it depends on how confident I feel in drilling this...
I meant plural there. I'm looking at it to return from a sump about 4' below the tank. I thought that flow should be higher than 5x- am I mistaken?...
Are all Mag Drives safe for reef use? I am setting up a 30 gal and plan on getting a Mag Drive 9.5 or Mag Drive 7. Are there different models...
The specific gravity will be affected by any dissolved substances. It just happens that salt is overwhelmingly the biggest solute in a reef...
Thanks. I'll have pictures of the setup in a few weeks.
Thanks guys. LFS suggests two reactors-one with phosban and one with carbon. Is that overkill?
I just bought a 30 gal tank and want some suggestions on the proposed setup. I'm going to make the PVC overflow like what Covey described in a DIY...
Great-Thanks for your help. Do you guys think that a skimmer rated for a 100 gal tank is a good idea then? I'll just have a few powerheads and a...
What sort of filtration system should I use for a 30 gal tank? I want to grow coral and have a few fish. I am definitely looking for a skimmer but...
Thanks for your help. Reefman, good to see another Central Pennsylvanian on here. I am a PSU student at University Park.
Right now I have crushed coral instead of sand. Will this change my clean up crew? I am going to try to switch from CC to sand, but I have to...
Does anyone have a suggestion on what clean up crew I should get for my 110 gal FOWLR system? Where should I purchase them? Thanks for your help.
Are used skimmers a bad idea?
My dad and I have been working on our saltwater fish tank on and off for 10 years. Our first round (about 7 years) didn't work out well. We weren't...
So I should never have any waste in the crushed coral at the bottom of my tank?
Great. Thanks for the quick replies. In the past, I had just siphoned uneaten food off the crushed coral. I have had the tank running with this...
I have a 110 FOWL system without a protein skimmer. Nitrates typically stay around 20-30, but I would like to improve that with an in sump skimmer...
I just got a hippo tang and a flame angel yesterday. I put them in separate quarantine tanks. The angel looks good, but the hippo tang is just...
