Are you trying to have the stand independent from any wall? You just want one side for the filtration? If that's the case, your best best would be to...
Adding too many fish too quickly.
A bacterial bloom usually results from there not being enough surface area for the bacteria to colonize, so they are forced into the water cloumn....
Have you tried to using a fan to blow across the surface of either your tank or your sump? That alone can cool off the tank significantly. Also how...
Geissman is very good, it does sound like you came out on top.
Great video and great setup, you've done a great job with the setup. It's really cool to see all those fish together and happy. That filtration area...
Yea, you don't need to drill. A sump is a great idea, but I wouldn't add the canister filters to it, I would just ditch them and stick with the...
Are the powerheads you'll be using designed to be used on a wave maker? Some Koralias are designed for that, but others are not. You shouldn't use...
I bought my ATO from autotopoff.com. It was inexpensive and has been reliable for the past 1.5 years. Works great, easy to setup and easy to use.

Correct, they usually live in tidal areas, so they are often out of the water for periods of time. I've had some do this too. Put him back in the...

What ballast did you determine you have?
I like that they are more efficient then the magnetic ballast and run cooler. Plus they run silent, at least most, compared to some of the magnetic...
I don't care about the other questions as that helps me decide too. I think I've set my equipment list to the following. 36" SLS Maristar 2x250w MH,...
I actually wasn't planning on running actinics with the MH bulbs. I was going to use the actinics for morning/dusk then have them go off and run just...
I was planning on using a galaxy electronic ballast with the Phoenix 14k bulbs, but I was also considering 20K XM bulbs and 14K AquaMaxx bulbs, any...
I don't know what it is, but there's something about how MH affect corals that T5s just don't do. Again, I don't want to let new hobbyists think T5s...
Correct
I've thought of this, but from other people I've talked to, it seemed to depend. Right now, my tank stays around 75-76 degrees at the hottest time...
