Efficiency/heat mainly. Sicce uses 105 watts and will pump 1070 GPH @ 5' head. RO Diablo uses 30 watts and will pump ~800GPH @ 5' head. 75% of the...
I just QT'd my 6" Foxface for a month in my 46BF. Although not an ideal space, he really showed no signs of the tank being too small. But this was...
I really like the second one! Once you get the colony established, you know where to send a couple :)
Same here actually. I am not friends with anyone local with SW tanks. The bonus is everyone that comes to your house will think your tank is amazing...
I would consider the smallest version of these:...
I bought similar rock from liverockranch.com. Same deal, maricultered live rock. Came with basically what you are talking about, a few snails, a N....
I agree. 1-2 on the smaller side would be fine IMO.
I use a 10 gallon for a QT/HT. I use a Penquin 330 HOB (used to use it on my 55 when it was freshwater) and a Coralife Super Skimmer 65 (that doesn't...
I don't think that would be too much flow, and likely won't cause any heat issues (although I have no idea what pumps they use). I have two pumps in...
I do think 8PPM is too high (if that is really the value). You want it to me much lower, between 1-2PPM at the highest IMO.
How many bulbs was the T5 fixture?
Weird that there is a waiting list; they are one of the most imported fish in the hobby (something like 5000 per week!). Don't worry, you will be...
One value fixture should actually cover the whole tank quite nicely IMO.
That is correct. Although the smallest one would be perfect for 90-125 gallon tanks, able to pump 800 GPH at 5' head. If I ever need to replace my...
You should be lucky you did it with a new tank! Moving a very established tank with all kinds of fish and coral is a whole other experience :)
Add the Purple Firefish first, Flame Angel one of the last. Flame's can be very picky eaters and so you will need a well established tank for it to...
You may already know this, but it would be either a Powder Brown or Blue; not both ;) (and either would have to be added last) And Chevron's really...
Well unfortunately, those reef cable lights from Marineland are really not :/ They should be fine for lower light corals, such as most softies,...
I like your rock formation :) I see a Clown, cleaner shrimp, and maybe a Chromis? Do you have any future stocking plans?
You can do the top of the teeth basically right up against the rim of the tank (well maybe 1/4" or 1/2" lower). That should work out fine I believe.
