    55 Gallon Hex Tank

    Hair algae!!!!

    Agreed on the snails; my ceriths (both dwarf and large) are doing a number on my GHA. It does take some time though.

    Changing to Sand- Need Help

    Pump/Powerhead?

    With check valves, it depends on the type and quality. I have 3/4" PVC piping and installed a 3/4" tru-union ball check valve. Ball checks are very...

    55 Gallon Hex Tank

    Just curious, why are you looking to do a hex tank? What are your plans for it (FOWLR or reef)? I only ask as that type of tank would really limit...

    90gal Tank Crash

    I suggest getting rid of the crabs and getting a crab free quick clean up crew from reefcleaners. Go with a 50ish gallon crew, as John sends more...

    Cheap live rock online

    Agreed on mixing live rock and dead rock. I just did this with mine, getting 100 lbs of dry rock from Reefrocks.net, and 75 lbs of live rock from...

    salinity question!

    Also you will lose some salt in the waste from a skimmer if you run one. Not excessive by any means, but figured I would throw that out there.

    Painting the back of a tank

    VOC's are volatile organic compounds. Sorry, I meant to say that this would be if you tried to use paint instead of the Sea Gel.

    Chill out!

    :thumb_up: A 6", $10, clip on fan cooled my 55 gal tank and 30 gal sump from 82.5 down to 80 in about 2 hours. Even with the house being mid 80's,...

    Painting the back of a tank

    You may want to have activated carbon (through a reactor or other means) running before you try this. If any VOC's do make their way into the tank...

    fighting cyano

    Even with this if your RO membrane has a 98% rejection rate (DOW Filmtecs do, among others), you should only see around 8 PPM going into the DI. And...

    My Next Water problem

    Tank raised vs. ocean ocellaris clownfish

    You need a light to see the fish and check for disease, but nothing else. So off all of the time except during inspections and feeding :)

    Tank raised vs. ocean ocellaris clownfish

    You don't need live rock or sand; just the pvc pipe! And a seeded sponge filter (that has been in your sump or DT) is all you should need for...

    Is my powerhead too strong?

    That's why ideally you would have another powerhead in the tank to change the flow pattern. But I think two of the 1050's would be way too much for a...

    Tank raised vs. ocean ocellaris clownfish

    Liveaquaria now has tank bred ocellaris for the same price as wild, which is good I think as it encourages more people to buy them. I will be getting...
