    55g Build.. *first SW tank

    Tops can be a pain because: 1) They can get dirty and thus start limiting light penetration - they are an extra maintenance item. 2) They limit...

    LED vs T5

    I've had both and I like both. I like LEDs more right now for a few reasons: 1) Power consumption is lower 2) Overall cost is significantly...

    Skimmer for 210 Gallon Fish Only

    Agreed 100% - I've owned a couple and they work very well, especially for the $ you spend on them. Some links: Super Reef Octopus XP 3000...

    Cleaning sand bed?

    It does if you have sand. Gravel isn't quite the same because of the size of the rocks. You want to vacuum gravel to stop pockets of nastiness from...

    Flow in 300G peninsula

    How are you mounting the Tunzes? Are you putting them in the rockwork? If so this looks good, but one word of caution: I've got a Tunze toward the...

    Cleaning sand bed?

    A great example of how opinions can vary greatly in the hobby. My view on the subject getting a little deeper than just saying "don't disturb...

    Cleaning sand bed?

    transporting tank before silicone is cured?

    I wouldn't risk it. I wouldn't worry about the vibrations as much as I would the handling of the tank. I've never been in this scenario with a tank,...

    Ich or battle wound??

    Will complete tear down require a new cycle?

    New Tank

    Sounds like you'll have a good set up. The only thing I'd say is that without a protein skimmer you'll need a decent amount of surface agitation to...

    Good choice. Yes, you will need a bigger pump. If you're in the basement it will be more than 6 feet, though. Just putting it under the tank in...
