UPDATE: And not a good one... I've been fighting what I believe is a severe case of velvet in my system. I've lost a number of fish. The sad...
It's hard to tell exactly what that is. Speaking as someone who has lost an entire tank due to an ATO malfunction, you need to be careful here. Do...
Is this the drain or feed line? Double check that it's not the bulkhead (which may just need tightening). If it does turn out to be the...
Yep. Your Biocube isn't doing much... and your wife shouldn't be too upset. My electric bill is in the upper hundreds and my wife lets me know it...
Why not?
You will likely be ok, but may need additional tests/certification to prove that it's benign, etc. I'm a 1000 hour instrument rated private pilot...
Also, I might recommend a Blue Throat instead of a Niger. The Niger isn't the most agressive out there, but I've found Blue Throats to be a little...
Good move. As I've written many other times, the standard 120 is my favorite overall tank for a reef and a great size to start with if you can afford...

You have a girl friend who is into tanks? Luck bastage!
I agree with everything insane said, with one exception and that is on the tank size. I am a huge fan of, and highly recommend a standard 120....
Here are my 2 cents, not looking at stocking levels, but rather esthetics: - You've got no real "anchor fish" in the tank, being something that...
Copepods will grow anywhere there is food and refuge. So will amphipods.
I didn't realize you were already set up and running. Definitely replace things slowly. Bioballs house bacteria that perform key things in the...
Refugiums are pretty simple, though I would add sand to your list and some macro algae. Also add a few sand stirrers.
This is what I used to do. Works like a charm. Now my sump is 25' below the drain so I don't think any fish would make the trip intact :)
I had it become a royal pain in my old 180. Get it out.
This is why I recommend an engineer first. He/she will tell you what you need to know and can draw up some quick plans. The contractors will bid...
Agreed
