    My New Oceanic 70 Tec Tank

    Nice Ihop. Depending on the kinds of fish you put in there you might want to consider putting a top over it. I used the plastic grate that you would use on a ceiling in an office over the lights. Before then my flassher wrasse jumped (I caught him in time), but I did lose 2 Bartlett's to...

    Best Substrate for DSB

    The smaller the grain size the better. I use Kent's refugium substrate in my RDSB. It is very fine. This should lead to proper di-nitrification with the correct depth. Have you though about doing a SSB in the tank with a RDSB? That is preferred over a DSB in the tank. Also, I have heard with...

    Kelvin on a Solaris H Series?

    Gotcha. Since I've dropped the Day Whites down to 80 my Bubble, Blastos, and Cynaria have both opened up more. My closed brain and Acans are starting to color up more. The brain now has some purple in it, (Instead of looking all green like it did under 100 Day Whites).

    Which is a better tank?

    Oceanic had some problems with the build quality and QC on the Tech Tanks in the beginning. They were moving them off of the line too fast and the glass was not seated right. Some were made with Starphire front and side panels, some with just the fronts. That caused confusion with buyers. They...

    29gallon newbie

    Yikes! That might be alot. I can stretch a cube of Mysis out over the period of 2 days. I have a 70 gallon now with a male/female pair of Bartlett's, a female Bellus Angel, a male McCosker's Flasher Wrasse, and a FP Clown, with a bunch of corals in it. I melt the cube in SW, then I use a plastic...

    Are your phosphates 2 or 0.02? If they are 2 they are way too high. Take a look at this thread.

    The algae in your tank could be taking up all of the PO4 so therefore it is not detectible. Try to run carbon and TLF Phosphate Reactor if possible. Foods can contribute to adding PO4. Try not to overfeed, and don't feed flake.

    Nice try Dr. FostersSmithJohnsonDonaldWashington

    Of all of the online vendors I've ever dealt with Drs.FSJDW has been the best. It still stinks when my T. Radiata was described as purple, pink, and green. Even looked it in the picture. In my tank, It's all green. Nice coral, but not what I saw under their lighting. You think I'd learn...

    Feeding acans

    I think Phyl is right. That looks like a chemical problem in the tank, or it is being stung by another coral or invert.

    They should do fine together. Just don't let any sweepers touch each other. I'd steer clear from most SPS's right now. Most can be tough to keep. I tried a leather in that tank at one point. It just got messy with all of the LPS's I had. If I could do it again (in that tank) I would try to stack...

    90 Gallon Oceanic

    I did a tank to tank transfer about 3 months ago. It wasn't so bad. I upgraded from a 29 gallon w/ a 10 gallon fuge to a 70 gallon w/ a 30 gallon fuge. I used all existing 40 LBS of LR from the old tank and some LS from the fuge. My new tank went through a small cycle for a week. I added all the...

    timdmb- Here's one of the last shots of that tank before I tore it down and sold it to Danny (who then sold it to you). Mostly LPS's.
