I'm seeing great polyp extension on the three SPS corals I've got. I can't wait to add more! Anyone in north NJ have a nice SPS tank due for some fragging? I'd love to buy local.

I'm about two hours north of you, so that idea is a wash! As far as clowns go, I've got a great source up near me, but he doesn't really ship. Its worth the trip though. I was torn between setting up a 40b or a smaller cube tank. I'm glad I went the route I did. Awesome, thanks! I've...

EDIT**** This forum is so strange. After every post, it says a moderator must approve, and then it doesn't show up for a day! What gives?

As far as the skimmer goes, the SWC120 is a beast. I got it for a steal on another forum. After a nice vinegar bath, it cleaned up like new. Its a little louder than I had expected, but nothing to write home about in the slightest. I try to skim on the dry side and it still pulls a ton of nasty...

This is my first reef tank, but the overwhelmingly unanimous consensus when it comes to HOB is its garbage. Do yourself the favor and go with a sump, I'm running a 700gph Glass-Holes overflow with 3/4" return. Drilled the tank was a breeze, as was building the sump. I had a local glass place cut...

I'm mildly obsessed with these clowns. Easily my favorite addition to the tank so far!

Here's one the day after construction.

What size is the display, and what size is the sump? You'll need to account for the water that spills over should the power go out. Also, make sure your baffles get smaller as the water flows. Use DVD cases as spacers...worked wonders for my build. Here's a quick snap of my 20g sump used on my...

I've been changing 5g every two weeks for the last month. I'll bump that up to once a week once SPS fills up the tank. Livestock is limited to my pair of clowns, a bicolor pseudo, cleaner shrimp, and a handful of snails/hermits. I feed sparingly once a day and its usually flakes or pellets. From...

Since everyone likes pics, here are some coral close ups I shot the other day. Sunset Montipora Magician Paly Fire/Ice Zoa Frogspawn

I appreciate the warm welcome. I'm looking forward to the next few months with this tank. I am having some issues with nuisance algae right now. Coraline is spreading nicely, but I'm also starting to see hair algae and red slime algae popping up on the rocks and glass. A friend said my base rock...

What's up guys? My name is Mike and I've been a long time lurker on a lot of the better reef forums on the internet. For years, I've admired reef tanks from around the globe, but have always been too attached to my FW monsters to take the plunge. That all changed when I bit the bullet and set up...

My 40b has been running for a couple of months now and I'm ready to start adding some coral. I'm looking for nicely colored zoos and palys from someone in my area. Can anyone put together a nice pack for me? I'm in Totowa, NJ. Thanks!
