As stated, getting real rock and sand if desired will actually be cheaper in the long run. The thing to realize with salt is once the bacteria build...
huh, that's good to know... didn't know that
curious what your referring to here? Is there some kind of beneficial relationship between SPS and wrasses??? fwiw, i love my melanarus. Wish he...
well, at least you have time to figure that out... I assume you meant LPS/SPS. I just recently started acquiring some specimens and yes, it's a...
Right! I was just sitting on my knees in front of the tank starring the other day like a kid... then i tried to get up. lol
Congrats! Thank you sir, cool deal. How about the business end of this thing? what you going to have running on the sump side of this? Do i...
Sooooo now that we'regetting closer to getting this thing inside... Do you have any napkins with plumbing sketches on? Just curious how everything...
much better my friend
as for the skimmer i'd probably try to get one from a guy that builds them himself. He started up a co for them, not sure how far he's taken it but...
hmm ok. If i ever did this i'd probably run a separate closed loop to aid in the flow. Probably still end up with some phs but yeah...
ah yes, i must say i do like my coralife...

fwiw, I'm running a 75 with sand (no clue how much, been too long) and about 70-80lbs of LR, a Protein Skimmer, refugium, and i do have a bag of...
my guess is you lost some of your good bacteria in the cleaning process and started a mini cycle... What size tank? Live rock and amount? are you...
From what i've read just a straight white/blue combo of LEDs wont give you a full spectrum which in turn will not cause those reds ect to "pop."...
If the only pump is on the return side wouldn't you need a air pump to initiate the skimming process? Or would the suction be enough to pull air into...
Yeah that's what I was thinking to but I would assume you would want the intake pretty low to avoid it ever running dry but then would you need the...
