How many fish are we talking about here? I strongly recommend getting a sponge filter in there asap. It provides a lot of surface area for bacteria....
I am not familiar with Stonefish, but I agree the body shape does look similar. I suggest changing the title to something with Stonefish in it to get...
Well so far you seem down the right path. As noted in the other thread, do not use Damsels to cycle the tank. No need since you have live rock, and...
He doesn't even know :o It's either a Flagfin or Goldflake Angel, but too young . Alex is hoping it is a Goldflake ;) Although I think both are...
You said you added salt, sand live rock and chemicals...what chemicals did you add?
Good pickups. I love Frogspawn & Duncans! Keep those GSP's on one rock and keep them in check though!
The couple of reviews I read complained about the noise as well. Follow Todd's advice; otherwise your best bet is to get a new pump :/
I think you just have a regular HOB filter that uses a pump to pull water from the DT, goes through the stages of the filter, then dumps back to the...
Congrats! New thread coming I presume :)
I recommend you do some searching and reading on your own. It is what I did when I built my first tank. Much better than being told what to do...
Exactly. They are just made up names for different color morphs of the same corals. I am not one who likes the "gimmicky" names, so I agree with Alex...
That looks awesome! Very sexy tank and light you have there :)
Here is a handy chart from Randy Holmes you can find here: [IMG] As you can see, with calcium of 450 and alk of 7.6 dKH (2.7 meq/l), you are...
I have been using the same skimmer for 18 months without any issues at all :/ I would suggest giving the skimmer a full cleaning if it has never been...
Hi and welcome to 3reef! What are your plans for the tank (stocking plans, corals, etc)?
If you don't want to drill the tank, the easiest option is to get a HOB overflow. I would recommend Eshopps brand as they never lose siphon. There is...
The water should be the same salinity throughout the tank. I would not do any water changes or anything to change the salinity. I would instead...
This will be my first DC return pump. I have been using DC powerheads (Jebao WP-40s) for a few months now, but not enough to give you any solid...
In general, you want your sump/refugium to be half the volume of the DT. So for a 55, between 25-30 gallons. The problem with 55's is the 12"...
Good deal, but as mentioned, they are known to be aggressive, especially with other wrasses. But now you have two that are aggressive, so maybe they...
