Same advice I gave in the other thread, start breaking down the 57g now. Get everything into temporary holding containers with heaters and powerheads. They can live like this for the next few days no problem, just monitor water conditions and whatnot. Do you have a lot of coral, no coral...

If you can, your best bet would be to go out a day early, pack up the live stock and what not and move that to your house and set it up in a holding system of some sort. Then the movers can move all the dry goods in and then you can setup the tank again. Moving tanks is never fun and is quite...

Upgradesa are always fun. What are the dimensions of the tank and stand?

I know this is last minute, but I will throw a hail mary for a good guy and great priced fixtures: http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/nicewrasse/136155-maxspect-mazzarra-p-light-emitting-diodes-units.html

+1 it seems all their skimmers have European pumps which are the 220-240v which would not work.

Which skimmer and what is the voltage rating on the skimmer?

John I think the Mickey mouse trim makes the tank.

Our corals were doing amazing for while when we started to notice some recision at the base of some of our SPS. We started testing and alk was coming back 9.3 (or something similiar) so we just kept an eye on things. Corals started to get worse, we kept testing and everything was coming back...

We ran into issues because we were doing everything right and had equipment failure. That was disheartening when you are doing everything you can and a piece of equipment (or several) fail and leave you shaking your head.

Good luck with them, time to look at the avast ATO or the one they have at AO which is the same. They will not fail like the others.

That star is a good one, it will do fine in the display or fuge. It is a good clean up crew member.

What are you using to test nitrates?

For those that were at our Frag swap back in June, you might remember a vendor we had Dirk. He had a huge booth with a ton of dry goods. He basically drives around the country going to different swaps selling dry goods. His van with all his reefing equipement was stolen in Ohio this week. If...

Flasher wrasses are really your best bet, a pair of them would do great in a 60 cube and they are not aggressive. You could look at a melanarus wrasse which are peaceful but might pickup off inverts depending on what you want to put in the tank. Leopard wrasses are incredibly peaceful but you...

Avoid the flaming prawn goby, they disapear in my 12g tank and there are many other people with the same experience. It is an expensive fish that you will never see. For the dracula goby, look for a tiger or candy cane pistol as they seem to be the best at pairing with shrimp and being reef...

They seem to be hit or miss. Some people love them, some people have lost every fish they ordered.

Off to a good start. this is an old post, but Mark knows what he is talking about: http://www.melevsreef.com/reducing_nitrates.html

Depends on what you are running in it. Different medias will require different volumes of media. Check which one you are going to use and roughly how much you will need. BRS has a nifty calculator on their site to help you figure it out.

I ran mine on a 45g cube and was happy with them. I have the jumbos now and am still happy with them.

Without a doubt call Chris then, if it is an issue with the fixture it should be covered under warranty. He can also walk you through it to see if it can be fixed. Good luck. I had some issues with the fans getting loud and after a phone call had new ones shipped to me for nothing, it was an...
