2 weeks ago I placed 60lbs of LR and 60lbs of sand in my tank. Since then I have been scrubbing the rock every few days, running a skimmer and today I did a 20g water change.
Prior to that my nitrites and nitrates were incredibly high.
After the water change my nitrates were lower but my...
My new live rock has been in the tank for a few days now. I am noticing that the muddy residue hasnt gotten pushed off the rock like I hoped it would...but rather is just sitting on the rock.
Should I bother scrubbing the rock? Would it be a good idea to remove the silt mud or just leave it?
I...

My recently set up 72g bow (FOWLR) has 108w of T5s (54w 10k/54w actinic)
Any chance that some mushrooms and xenia would survive in the tank?

OK...I consider myself to be a relatively educated fellow, but when it comes to things in the financial world I am pretty dumb.

Anyone have a good idea on how to feed a triggerfish while on vacation?
I dont think an automatic feeder with dry food would be sufficient for the fish...at least not for more than a few days.
I plan on loading the tank with snails, hermits and peppermint shrimp that the trigger will likely...
The wife and I are considering moving out of Philadelphia and into South Jersey. Only condition is that the house MUST be close to one of the bridges (Betsy, Ben FR, Walt) as I will be traveling for work. She works in Haddonfield so the closer to her work the better.
Anyone have suggestions on...
I had glass covers for the used 72g bow but they were so dirty and clouded that I tossed them. Plus they were chipped so I didnt want to risk breaking.
So now I need to find a way to cover the tank...or decide not to cover it at all.
The tank is up against a wall that has the staircase. I...
Tonight I filled the 72g bow FOWLR with water!

How far side to side do they stick out?

thanks
I know what you are all saying, but what about a single 150w MH pendant just for looks?
I dont need to grow corals or even softies. I am just looking for a light that will highlight the fish and give a shimmer.
Will it look ridiculous and have bad shadowing?
It would be hanging from...
