Well I decided to do a new aquascape in my tank to try to get better flow. I think it came out well. Please comment. NEW OLD

Well, I have had my 70 gallon tank up for just about a year now. Everything was going good until recently. I had a Alk problem for a bit and lost a lot of corals and a clam, but that is straightened out now. Now the tank is starting to get a lot of green algae. It is choking out corals and it...

Is it possible to have to much flow in a tank? I have a 70 gallon tech tank with a mag 7 return. Two Korilla 3's and 1 korilla 2. Is this to much flow?

First off, sorry I haven't been around more. I have been going crazy this summer getting everything ready for my wedding which is less than 3 weeks away!!! I am looking forward to going to a meeting once the honeymoon is over. Well over the last few months I have been slowly loosing corals...

My ATO has killed 2 impellers in my MAG 5 from the constant on off. Any ideas on a pump that will pump up water from my basement and not need to be repaired every few months?

Well, I have been spending to much $$ on this hobby so I decided to try and save some. This is my attempt at a Kalk reactor. I did have a brand new mj400 mounted up but I melted it trying to dry the epoxy. :( here are some pics. Let me know if you think of anything that would make it be bad. BTW...

Just want to send a big thanks to Billy. That was my first meeting and I had a good time. It was nice meeting everyone.

OK I setup my Korallin Calcium reactor today and I have a few questions. I have a PH controller hooked up to it with the probe in the chamber. What should the PH be set to? I currently have it at 7.2 but the tank PH seems to be dropping as a result. Normally the tank is at 8.0 - 8.2 but now it...

My aqua lifter pump is not cutting it for my ATO setup. I have the R/O water in the basement and the sump is on the 1st floor. Any pump recommendations?

Not sure what is going on but some of my zoos are not opening up and some are partally open. Even my GSP is staying tucked away for the most part. I recently switched lights form a outer orbit pro series to a solaris. Could that be doing it? Nitrates and nitrites are all 0. Fish are doing great...

Checked my tank temp today and it was only 72. Looked at the heater and it was set to 76 and the light wasn't on. After checking to see if it was plugged in I took it out to inspect to find water in it. I hope I didn't hurt anything. I have a 75w stealth heater in there for now. Hope it can keep up.

I have access to 55 gal drums which have had pink antifreeze in them used to winterize boats. If I wash it out would it be ok to use?

I am debating on whether or not to switch to the G series SOLARIS. The fixture puts out the equivalent of a 250w 20K metal halide for every 1.5 feet. I would be getting a 36" fixture so it would be equivalent to 375w. I currently am running 2-150w metal halides and 4-40w T5's @460w total...

Has anyone ever heard of such a fish? I picked one up at my LFS tonight (early x-mas gift from my fiancee). It looks like a naso tang but seems to have slightly different coloration.

I have been going crazy trying to make my sump quiet. I need pictures of how everyone is returning the water from the display to the sump. I get a ton of air in the return line which makes a ton of bubbles and a mess. I am getting quite frustrated. Please Help!

Is it safe to use any kinds of metal in a reef tank? I was thinking about trying to rig up some sort of heat exchanger similar to a radiator and a fan to cool the water in my tank. Cant afford a SOLARIS fixture right now and my MH light are raising the tank temp to much.

What would be a good choice for a skimmer for my 70gal tank? I would defiantly want something that is quiet.

I though I saw the 36" SOLARIS light for around 1500-1600 does anyone recall who the vendor is? Of if you know of it being cheaper anywhere.

Well here is my new reef tank in the making. I got it up and running over the past weekend. The water is still a little cloudy but you can get the idea. Let me know what you think. I still have to purchase lighting for it. I just cannot decide on MH or bite the bullet and go for the New I series...

I have my new Oceanic 70 Tec tank all set up but I am having troulpe with therouting the water. How do you get it to enter the sump quietly and with out a ton of bubbles? Right now it is making my sump / refugium into a protein skimmer.
