I actually like the dimensions of the tank, but no, it is not large enough for a Blue Hippo Tang long term unfortunately. They ideally need 180...
I vote one pump, with a spare on the shelf ready to go :) One pump will be more efficient than two pumps pushing the same amount of water, so less...
Nice progress. I think your plan of ~8% water changes bi-weekly is just fine. I try to stick to 10% bi-weekly, though sometimes I go an extra week or...
That is indeed a Planaria FW. However, it is not harmful to fish or corals, unless they way overpopulate and actually smother a coral so much it...
Get a PVC ball valve with threaded ends. Then get male adapters to go to tubing. They have both in Home Depot. The male adapters are dark gray. Then...
I agree with Todd on this one. And to take it a step further, I highly recommend only stocking fish that can live their whole life in the tank they...
Good info Cheryl. I love hearing first hand experiences. Maybe the key is to get them young as you did. You will note even on LA it states they are...
Cheryl, you may know better. However from what I have seen (seen, as in I have not personally kept more than one), similar to Chromis, overtime a...
I run my skimmer all day and night except for it turns off and stays off for one hour during feeding. Curious to see what more experienced reefers...
Yup, I would just ditch the bioballs and turn that section into a refugium. You already have the light right there, so it should be quite easy to do....
I have had two WP40s running for 7 months now in my 125. No issues at all. I haven't even cleaned them yet (which I need to do soon!). I usually keep...
I would be more worried about them being reef safe; they are known to nip or even eat corals (especially soft). Obviously not an issue if this is a...
I agree with Cheryl's recommendations 100%. Definitely stay away from the Sixline, and the tank is too small for the Rusty. Then just narrow your...
I think you are over thinking this a bit. I would set the blues to 50% max, and the white to where you like it (probably between 25-35%). Leave it...
I see most say ammonia and nitrites need to be 0, and nitrates ~10 (as high as 20 is still fine).
I have had some growing in my 46BF for 2 years now. Very slow to grow/reproduce. I doubt it will be an issue. I had some in my former 55 that had...
Missed your sig, since it only shows on your first post of the page! So yes, I think you are actually lightly stocked for that size tank, which very...
Very cool Tony! There are some amazing tank setups in there. I had previously seen Elliot's frozen food dispenser, but not his whole tank/setup. Very...
Sorry Chris, I should have quoted his post as well. The post was aimed at the OP, not you :) Although the Sohal comment was for you ;)
How many fish do you have? Could be as simple as adding one or two more.
