Ok, all rubble rock is out of my sump....I still have to vacum the floor of it, but i will do that this weekend. I orderd the following items.. BUcket of PhosGuard which will be put into a large media bag, Carbon which will be put into a large media bag, and Nitrate Sponge which will be put into...

yeah my sump is filling with rubble rock, im gonna take it out once my stuff comes to replace it, i ordered it last night. im gonna fill that area with media bags with carbon, phosphate and nitrate sponge stuff, and also do a water change..the only problem is when i dont have rock in the sump...

no, im kinda strapped for room under the sump. would that help with the nitrates?..i have to admit i fell off with water changes over the summer...im trying to make up for it now..the weird thing is my clams, and corals never looked so good. everything is open and extended and spreading...makes...

I was gonna take out some rubble rock and replace it with the stuff you stated above and some carbon . This way the water passes over it. The problem is my tank is 180 gallons, I think I gotta buy like 4 gallons of that stuff?

I was under the impression those lps needed strong light so the one I had bleached out . I just orderd a frag pack from the guy from the post under this one for 100 bucks. I tested my water the other day and amonia was 0, ph was low at 8.0, but nitrate or nitrite I forget which one is super...

after looking at some of our members tanks with sps corals in it, i think i fell in love..the wide array of colors just is awesome., i dont know any of there names, but what worries me is it seems to have them you have to have the best of the best in water quality, and equipment, calicum...

so it looks like there is no real clear winner, im guessing? ill just stick with my tropic marin, it seems to be working well for me..

im curious, i have been using the tropic marin Pro-Reef Salt. When i look at the salts they kinda all look the same to me but i know some are better then others so i figured id ask you guys? Also when im mixing the salt mix with my RO water i put do it in 5 gallon buckets..i usually take one...

i really like having rock going all the way to the top, its what i did in mine and it looks really natural. the only thing i can say (i found out the hard way) is do your best to have the base rocks laying on the bottom of the tank and not on the sand so you dont wake up in the morning like i...

yeah thats definately it. thanks...for the first year, nobody (including myself) even noticed it in my tank, but i upgraded to halides (first 150 watt) and now im up to 250 watt halides and the coral is greener then ever and looks great...its amazing how corals react to strong light..

i googled both and psammacora seems to be it,except its supposed to have sweeper tentacles and i have never observed any. its a really cool coral.

wow, the colors are awesome in your tank..i want those for my tank so bad, but i dont know any of the names of those corals...what are the blue ones called? i have 250 watt halides on my tank so i think lighting should be ok, but i have a mixture of like every kind of coral out there, can i put...

thanks..im gonna google it..people always ask me about it because of the color and texture..

yeah, he actually fights with my snowflake eel during feeding time...hes a beast..i think he will be going soon..lol...im gonna try and get a picture of him if i can..

mine used to go halfway up too..i think it looks more natural with the rock going up to the water surface...

i have a pair of harlequin shrimp but they dont go near that star fish or the other brittle star fish i have in the tank..they only eat the ones i feed them. the madarin was the pschedelic one and he was eating when i bought him from the pet store. so i dont know how ..he was huge..well looked...

i have had it for over a year, and since adding metal halides it has started to spread..im not sure what it is, can someone id for me and if you know tell me if any special care is needed for it other then strong lighting..right now its perched up on rockwork that is about 14 inches directly...

its gonna be two years march 1st..

3 geisnman megachrome 250 watt metal halides 14.5k , and 4 96 watt dual actnic power compacts.

yeah the guy i bought it from is out of business..lol..go figure..anyway i dont feed him, but like you said, maybe i should for now until i get a chance to take him to a fish store..
