Welcome! Good luck with your tank, and post lots of pictures as you develop it.
Let me try to clarify things a bit - there are different types of filtration - 1) Mechanical filtration (physically filtering out debris - can be...
Yes ;)
Hmmm, I don't know, Oceanparadise. I still think he could go with 4 T5's even with a 55g tank and keep pretty much anything he wants. Just might...
Height of the tank is the least useful dimension. Increasing height does not really increase swimming area for most fish, and it increases your...
What are you planning to keep in the tank? The answer to your question may depend on that. If you want to keep SPS in it, you may consider 4 T5s...
The reason I want to know about ridding corals of ich is that I have quarantined all my fish for a long time in an attempt to rid my system of ich,...
Will dipping a coral in Reef Dip eliminate ich that may be dormant on the coral? Should I only dip SPS, or also LPS and softies?
Me too. I also like dried meat (jerky, mmmmmm). Anyway, I hear what you guys are saying, but I wonder if there is any practical difference as to...
I am unclear as to whether there is an advantage between live phyto or rotifers vs. the non-live variety. This would be for feeding my clams (phyto)...

I had to do the same thing - removed all 6 of my fish into quarantine and treated with copper. I used a 30 gallon tank for this, and used a sponge...
So I have been quarantining all my fish to be rid of ich, and am currently on week 6. I have done everything to try to make my fish happy in their...
Nice pics. Good luck with the new additions!
Congratulations Steve and Reefsparky!
Or use it in a FOWLR type tank with no inverts/corals. It can still act as good filtration in such a tank, and will not harm the fish.
Very nice! I might be tempted to go up to Newmarket myself, but I've already maxed out my monthly coral allowance this month :)
I just switched salt mixes - I had been using Instant Ocean, but was finding my calcium and magnesium levels too low. So I bought some Seachem Reef...
Honestly, I think you could approach it in 2 ways. Either ask straight out if copper has been used and trust the answer. Or if you don't trust the...
1) Basing my original buying decisions on a book that was written in 2002....stated that the latest and best lights to buy were PCs! All the money I...
