As Steve said, algae relies on phosphates, nitrates and light to grow. Having an excessive amount of algae almost always results from either poor...
As the others have said, when I first read your post, I though 1/2" thick acrylic would not do, and that acrylic is expensive, especially for large,...
It's a cool idea, but (1) the wave is too quick and it doesn't look like there is actually that much flow in the tank; (2) you would need a wave tank...
I'm not sure on the fish, but the thing on the rock is either a sponge or a tunicate.
Buy what you like, take a look around and see what they. Don't feel like you need to spend all your money. It's really fun and rewarding to collect...
It almost does, it creates a strong under tow in order to return the water to the PH, but In my 55 the flow from about 3/4 down and side to side is...
That's a great price just for the tank, go for it.
An elegance can and will kill nearly any other coral and will even eat fish who get caught. I would keep some space.
Is this a fresh water or salt water tank? As far as the cycle for salt water at least, it's best to use a small piece of shrimp, and only 1 piece or...
I have the Redline 125 and love it, very good skimmer. Build like a tank

To set up a RO/DI unit, all you need is the unit and get either a drain fitting, a more permanent application, or a garden hose fitting with you can...
Is it cracked or broken? The only thing I can think of is that air bubbles are building up very quickly causing the siphon to break.
IMO the noise is inherent in plumbing of this type. I have some bubbles come from my drain too. It's really subjective though, I don't mind the...
Totally agree, all the tap water treatments do is make the water safe for fish and inverts, it doesn't take anything out or prevent unwanted minerals...
Don't waste your money, having the plates wont' do much as long as you already have it in your tank. I still think it's funny that people are...
I had one and it worked well. I actually ended up taking it apart and just running ferric oxide through one reactor. I run carbon in my overflow now.
airwaterice.com, the mity might, I have it and it's great. Inexpensive and very good, it's 50gpd.
