Hi Normally, I'd say no, but in this case you might have a good shot if..... 1...it's really just a 3-4 degree reduction you want and you can live with a display temp of 78-79 degrees; 2...the area(s) where the tank and sump are located are air conditioned to have a stable temp of about 72...

C'mon Guys N' Gals THINK!!!!!!!! Hundreds of $ for a Tank/Stand; Hundreds of $ for equipment; Hundreds of $ for ROCKS!!!; and Hundreds of $ for Improved Water 'cause what we drink ouselves is not good enough!!! In other words, thousand(s) of $ BEFORE we've even added any marine life. ::) Then...

Hi Erna I am constantly fighting these things and tried a Copperband not too long ago...It didn't work...The fish died without touching a single Aiptasia....It just wasted away....I don't know if it was a badly collected (cyanide caught) fish or something in my tank...It just never ate... I...

Re: Here's my 120 Bax, Super!!! All corals and fish are thriving, and I like the overall look of the reef...very colorful and nicely strucrured!!! Dom

Phyl and John, I like the open and spacious look of the new setup. Given how very nice the "old" setup looked, I commend your courage in making the changeover. 8) Being both lazy and cowardly when it comes to tinkering with my tank (something ALWAYS goes wrong), I'll wait a while before...

Who makes it Will? Dom

Nice Francis!!! Dom

Enjoy the drink...or drinks?? You deserve it/them... I remember cracking a glass sump some years ago by over-tightening a bulkhead fitting and subsequently cutting my hand when cleaning up the mess. :'( To say the least, I was not a happy camper. >:( So again, salute!! Dom

Hi Sam Beautiful open look to the tank that will explode with color and great shapes as your frags grow out... This will compliment your fine selection of healthy, colorful fish...That Orange Shoulder Tank is as good looking a fish as I have ever seen... SW or FW!!!!! Nice Job!!! Dom

Good Looking Tank Kevin.... I too would suggest you raise the returns to guard against a back-siphon draining most of the tank's water. Dom

Great Job Jose!!!!! Carpentry on the cabinet and canopy is outstanding. Along with the aquascaping inside rhe tank, the whole display looks terrific. Also admire the nice, straightfoward plumbing job. Thanks for sharing and Good Luck. Dom

Rev The answer depends on whether the DSB is to be the MAIN method of filtration.....If yes, then you'll need 4-6" (probably closer to 6") of very fine, oolitic sized sand. Carib Sea has it, but I'm not sure if they have 40lb. bags. If the DSB is NOT to be the main filter, ie you have lots of...

Hi Tom I've always used Eheim canister filters in the past mostly on my FW tanks. They are very quiet and reliable. They more than do the job. Just note that they tend to cost more than other brands with the same features. They now have several lines of canisters ranging from very basic...

Congrats on the Acan...Everything looks good and healthy....Glad to see that the Blasto fit in quite nicely where you placed it. Dom

Hi Stephen GREAT selection of corals and all doing so well!!! Keep sharing. Dom

Hi John Any idea what went wrong with thw Aqualifter??? Is it dead altogether?? I haven't set my reactor up yet as I decided to go with sulphur beads (from current PA Group Buy) instead of the Carib Sea ARM sulphur I bought which looks more likely to clog over time. (Thanks Carlo) If you'll...

Nice choices Wendy.. Dom

Re: Here's my 120 Bax We are nuts!!!! I remember taking my Dad with me some 30+ years ago when I was looking to landscape my Tanganyikan Cichlid tank. I bought some colorful large pieces of slate to build the caves required by these fish. When it came time to pay the bill, it totalled over...

Re: Here's my 120 Hi Bax...Latest photos are great. I especially like the large purple piece (Stag?) in picture 3...Also, in the last pic, what are the 2 corals to the left and below the big purple coral? Dom

Hi Billy... Nice Tank...Enjoyed following the thread...Thanks for sharing...Glad you've overcome your algae problem. What is the name of that Red/Burgundy Blenny with the Green spots...it's cool looking!! Also, the latest pictures appear to show some Bubble Algae (Valonia) on a few of the...
