    Filter ideas for new 60 G.

    What do you think about the Marineland Emperor 400. 3 stage filter, adjustable intake system, easy change filter cartridges and media containers, wet/dry bio wheel. I have heard a lot of positives and negatives to the wet/dry bio wheels/balls? Any thoughts? Can a HOB work just as well as a...

    White or Black Sand for my new 60G.

    Are there any bad aspects of the black sand? Bad for invertebrates, fish, corals, and overall tank health? My main concern is that white sand will get dirty between cleanings. I am very OCD and like a clean looking tank. I have crushed coral now and it gets coraline algae growth on it making the...

    Filter ideas for new 60 G.

    I got a new 60 gallon tank for Christmas to my surprise since I didn't even put it on my list and I am starting to mull over different ideas on how I will set this one up. There will be fish, live rock, and some soft corals to start off with. Right now I have a basic HOB filter that works fine...

    Marineland H.O.T. Magnum HOB Canister Filter

    Really, 30 lbs more! damn thats a lot of rock! I already do small weekly water changes plus a big one each month. Maybe I'll just stay with the same type filter and keep doing what I am doing. Do you have a skimmer? I sometimes see a thin milky film on the surface of the water...not sure if this...

    Marineland H.O.T. Magnum HOB Canister Filter

    I have 30lbs live rock. I use the filter pad but also put in some chemical filtration, PURA COMPLETE. It's been doing the job. I also vacuum my substrate once a month when I do my big water change. I'm just thinking about how long that filter will live for and looking to see what my next option...

    Well, im thinking of upgrading what I have right now which is just a basic HOB filter, TOPFIN 30. Been fine for the past year but thinking its maybe time to improve my filtration. Would you have measurements? I have about 3 1/2 inches between my wall and back of tank.

    Marineland H.O.T. Magnum HOB Canister Filter

    Anyone have any feelings on this type of hang on back canister filter? It also comes with a BIO wheel attachment (optional). I have a 30g reef with a few fish. Good, bad? Does anyone have it now? How big is it? Old Salty -

    Fish ideas for a 30G nano reef

    Went to Reef to Reptiles. Great coral selection and prices. Will definitely buy some coral from there in the next few weeks. Greg, the owner, is friendly and helpful! I did add 1 firefish to the tank and will hopefully be adding a yellow watchman goby today. I'm going to check out Aqua Oceans...

    evoIX - I don't have jawfish on my list. I'll have to take a look. mnat - Yes the angry clown is gone along with the nipping angel. Not sure what happened to that clown, he was fine in the beginning. And I got the angel before I started collecting corals. Sad to see them go but they upgraded to...

    You guys know what, I think I'm just going to keep what I have for a while. I'll have the tank for a while so eventually things will change and I'll get some less aggresive fish. Thanks for all your input!
