Tank has been up almost two years... Nice big SPS colonies.. Got a Calcium reactor a while back cause I just couldn't keep up with the tanks calcium consumption. Was letting my controller monitor PH of reactor and add CO when PH got to about 6.9 to keep PH like 6.5. Worked good for a bit... But...
Been doing the Garlic thing... This fish eats like a champ so, its not hard to get him to eat it. I'm in the process of setting up a second tank but it wouldn't matter cause theres no way in hell I'll be able to fish him outta there. I'm not gonna start uprooting almost 200lbs of rock to catch...
Thanks for the replies... And, I know in a perfect world, I would have quarateened the fish before putting him in the tank... But, now lets cut to reality. I dont have a qt tank. Did anybody ever try garlic soaked food? Did it work?
I just found a 55 gallon tank, stand, and canopy in a dumpster by my house. Its gods way of saying I needed to set up a second tank!LOL... Am not gonna drill it so, I need:
-Hang on back overflow
-Sump
-Four foot T5 strip or compact flourecents
Or anything else that might work for me... Please...

Hey all,

Thanks for looking,

Hey guys,
I've been doing a lot of reading about using depot tropical play sand in my reef tank. I've read that is has to be Oldcastle, Southdown, or Yardville. Right now the stores have a "White play sand" from oldcastle. I bought it just for hellsake thinking its not the right one cause it...
This site is AWESOME! Thank you guys for all your help. I'll be piping the tank this weekend with sometype of dursopipe and the return will come through the box and over the side of the tank. I have a nice canopy to cover it and should be fine. Thanks Again!!!
I am setting up a 90 with an internal overflow for the first time and could use some help. The tank is drilled with 2 holes. One is for 1 1/2" PVC and one is 1" PVC. I'm assuming that the 1 1/2" is the out. If this is indeed for going out to my sump, how high should I keep the water in the...
