temperature is deffinatly key, the tank is in my room, but it normally stays pretty cool in there, but since it is my room I want to stay away from a chiller as much as I can due to them making a lot of noise

I have seen some people on other boards discussing their luck with t5 bulbs such as the new current nova extreme pro lighting system, some still battle you need a halide such as the current outer orbit lights. Being a newbie the biggest difference I see is cost, the halide lights are about...

My Perfecto 180 came pre drilled for 1" bulkheads in the overflows. Problem being that they came in barbed fittings so all you can use is flex pvc or the vinyl tubing that they provided. The return pipe is 3/4" and the bulkhead for the return is made to fit into a the hole that is drilled but...

i normally do but this is all they had.... ill be heading up to ao tomorrow then

Well i had a little plumbing mix up today and had to take my bulkheads out which required me to do some cutting and now the bulkheads are useless. Wondering where I can pick up four 3/4" bulkheads tomorrow, preferably somwehere close to monmouth county... Tropiquarium only had 1 and will be out...

any pics?

I am really planning on it. I have the drill bits for 1/2" up to 1.5" bulkheads, just dont really know how to design it. I know I want to go with two 3/4" fittings on the bottom to feed a spray bar setup to keep the floor nice and clean, also do 2 1.5" inputs for the CLS but Im not sure how to...

What do you guys recommend? I like the wavemakers and controllers for the powerheads because of all the options of currents, but Im not crazy about numerous big power heads in the tank. CLS looks great, but a lot of planning to get good flow. Or do you recommend doing both say have a CLS...

how to people cover their rocks with corals then? I guess they are epoxying them? Im just wondering this because I see so many tanks that you barely see live rock, they are completely covered in corals. Some of my shrooms that I got are some pretty thick rocks that dont make them all that easy...

When i look at everyones tank pictures their corals look attached to big peices of live rock, some live rock is covered with shrooms and zoos etc... When you buy your corals from the LFS i have seen them come on peices of rock, do you just put the rock in the tank or are you supposed to remove...

bingo! thanks guys

I had a feeling they were some type of copepod, but i didnt think they were visual to the eye. I just got worried when I saw them hiding underneath her shrooms and what not. Then this morning I checked and I dont think I saw any so maybe they all got eaten or they were hiding before I could even...

My girlfriend noticed that when she turns her lights on she sees these little worms on the liverock/corals and they run for cover. I checked myself and they dont look like worms as it looks like they have legs, almost like super small white brine shrimp or something. I read through a few of my...

yes there is a screw adjuster on the airline... I fooled around with it a little bit tonight and i think it might be better but still little foam. It is actually making foam now compared to basically just fine bubbles but I am still not sure if its optimal. Then again there really isnt all that...

Having some trouble adjusting it, it keeps skimmer very very wet, im usually emptying the little collection cup until usually 2 times a day. The bubbles right now are a little bellow the top of the reaction chamber, but it seems if i turn the air down im not making enough bubbles out all

not sure where he saw it, i tried finding reviews and info on them but not all that much

Dont know much about these but was doing a little research for a buddy of mine setting up a salt tank. I told him i see a lot of people using ASM, MRC and Octopus skimmers, his LFS gave him a good deal on a DAS 1 protein skimmer and said it was just as comparable to ASM etc... What is your input...
