Looks good my friend! Don't get a fish that will grow too long or they won't have enough room to swim. 55G is a decent size, but corner tanks use...
I have one little lunar light too. I have it turn on at 7pm and turn off at 3am. From 3am until 9am the tank is completely without lighting.
I agree. I have Hamilton too and they are great bulbs.
Sounds exactly how I have mine running too, except that I have mine on a stand. You don't have the gate underwater right?
I live in the North Ontario/Fontana/Cucamonga area. There is a local place in Fullterton that sells Bubble King, one model for under $1000. I might...
Also remember when you put your hands in the tank, the oils on your body will cause the skimmer to stop working for a little while. Do you have any...
Many manufacturers make combo lights now. Current Nova, Coralife, Hamilton, etc etc etc. :)
Awesome, then you know you know exactly how to take care of these guys. :) I like the idea of a fry tank, or maybe even a little frag tank. Ho...
Vortech and Tunze are good when money is no object. For those on a budget, Koralia is good, then Seio.
Is your tank acrylic?
give it a good rinse with some RO/DI water. WD-40 is toxic to the tank. Remember that moecules will still be on the plastic, even though we can't...
Cheato will break apart and cause a mess in your tank before it settles into your tank's chemistry. Either use a small hamster ball or critter...
Before you decide on anything, READ READ READ. Saltwater tanks are very involved when you consider what each individual needs are. Corals are VERY...
+2 on that. 150G has a LOT of pressure due to the weight of the water, you don't want to risk that much volume. 150G tanks usually have 1/2" or...
I take the tarp and bring it all the way up the stand walls and tape it up. That way it never gets to the carpet and runs. If it flows over the...
This is the one I bought. We want to aim for 1ppm TDS ultimately, so even at 2%, if we are seeing 10ppm on the meter, it may be 9.8-10.2ppm which is...
I keep my mix about the same as you do PharmrJohn. I also have an hour overlap on each end in regards to when my fuge light turns on and off. My pH...
I live in Southern CA too. Buying a used skimmer is ok, as long as you clean it properly, since you don't know what you may be inheriting if you...
Acrylic/plexiglass does NOT bond to silicone, no matter how clean the surfaces are. If your tank is glass, you will have to get some serious stuff...
I had the same problem too. I know what you are going through. Since the suggestions have already been mentioned I want to add one more thing....
