    What size tank should i look to upgrade to?

    I like the 6ft tanks, but the 18" debth is a hassle. Aqua scaping was tough but I love the long viewing area. The long length of swimming room in the front of the tank is great for my hippo tang. I fit around 200lbs of LR and 200lbs of sand, but feel I have plenty if I ever go to a larger tank...

    Plumbing question

    Make sure your intake is well below water lever (3-4 inches). I built my first closed loop and on the first try I kept getting micrbubbles in the line. Re-Plumbed everything with the same effect. Nothing was leaking and I had no idea where air was getting in untill I just sat and watched. A...

    Emporer Angel Jet Lag

    Don't know if I can feed a fish something I won't eat myself. ;D Sounds like an idea, can I put cheese on it first? He came out and started picking at the glass. My tank is in a corner and I don't Clean the one side. Looking as though his behavior is coming around although he is still a little...

    Emporer Angel Jet Lag

    He started picking at the live rock and he looks good. Only his behavior is worying me. Nitrates are at 5ppm and all other water parameters are in check. Tried nori, but he didn't come out for it. Saw him pick on one piece of Prime Reef Flake food so I think he is starting to come around.

    Emporer Angel Jet Lag

    Didn't check. He looked healthy, has a nice belly, and was part of a new shipment. I'll try the cyclopeze but have never found the need to use that product.

    What size tank should i look to upgrade to?

    If you buy local, post a price for your setup. I'm minutes from both stores and want to upgrade to a reef ready. Tired of noisy overflow boxes.

    Emporer Angel Jet Lag

    Recently added an emporer angel and its been in my tank for 4 days. Nothing has picked on it, but it is staying in the back of the tank and rarely comes out from the rockwork. Fish has not eaten that I've seen and when it does come out it seems to be right before the lights go out. LFS said it...

    Microbubbles in Sump

    As soon as I get time. Heavy work schedule this week and barely have time to sleep. Rubbermaid also collects detirius so I can pull it out and dump it without having to clean my entire 40 gal sump.

    Microbubbles in Sump

    Put it in the tank and seems to be working fine. Made the sump tidy and completly ended any micrbubbles getting to the return pumps. Still need to find flex PVC or the 3' vacum hoses. I don't know who carries them and was hoping someone could help point me in the right direction. Plumber at work...

    Microbubbles in Sump

    I took on the following project to try and correct microbubbles getting to my return pumps, and also the added benefit of cleaning up the hoses in my sump.  The project consisted of a $5 rubbermaid container and a handfull of plumbing parts.  The rubbermaid was drilled for waterflow in, out...

    in living color aquariums?

    I purchased a AquaClear 110 pump for $50 and found it for $60 on MarineDepot. I also purchased a scooter blenny and a coral beauty from the store. Coral beauty is alive and well but the blenny didn't make it. I have seen a few dead fish in their tanks and find there fish to be a slight pricey.
