I'm definitely considering a skimmer upgrade. I bought the skimmer I have before I knew the importance of it, so I just got the cheapest thing I...
My new 75 gallon tank has 80 lbs of live sand and 120 lbs of live rock, plus a 20 gallon sump with a fuge and a basic HOB protein skimmer (bought it...
The same thing happened when I made my sump baffles, and most of the advice I got said it probably wouldn't be a problem. I've been running the sump...
There are at least 3-4 of them on the rock. I think I'm going to take the rock out of the tank until I decide on a treatment method. I'd rather wait...
If it is aptaisia, I know that's bad, and I should take steps to remove it. Is there any way to get rid of the aptaisia without removing all the good...
I was looking at a piece of live rock I bought two days ago from a LFS to help seed my dry rock, and I noticed this. [IMG] [IMG] I looked...
Alright, the tank is full of LS and LR now, and there's a shrimp decomposing in the tank to get the cycling process started. The overflow is plumped,...
Which tangs, if any, would be comfortable in a 75 gallon reef tank? The dimensions are 48x18x20. My current plan is to have a pair of Ocellaris...
I don't know which brands are the most reliable, but I definitely think you should switch to a Refractometer. Hydrometers are notoriously inaccurate,...
Phew! The overflow and return kit arrived in the mail, and I drilled the tank successfully (with help from my father, who loves this stuff). That was...
Glass container, acrylic baffles. I know the silicone won't bond great with the acrylic, but it still works well as a "wedge" of sorts. They feel...
I read that it could be water tested in 12 hours, but shouldn't be used in a system that will have fish in it for at least 48. I tested it with tap...
I placed my sump baffles using silicone yesterday, and when I did a water test today, there were MULTIPLE small leaks in the baffles. Should I scrape...
Hey guys, this is going to be my first saltwater aquarium, so I thought it would be a good idea to have a build thread so you guys can help me out if...
Hey guys, I wanted your opinion on this stock list. Since my tank is still cycling, I don't plan on owning any/all the fish on this list for some...
Thanks for the reply. On a related note, is there a guide out there on the placement of the pumps? I feel like sticking them in at random will be...
My bad, I mean a powerhead that creates a current in the tank.
Hey, I'm new to the hobby (even though I apparently registered on these forums a long time ago), and had a quick question regarding water flow. Is...
Yeah, that was my concern with the 55g. Based off the fish per gallon ratios I've been hearing, I'd run out of room real fast. If I'm going to be...
