    Mike's 315 Gallon Build

    Looks great Mike, what are your remaining stocking plans?

    Returning again

    With a 40b, I would go T5, the reason being that tank is so shallow, the LED's might be too much for it. Also with 3ft you would probably need two LED fixtures. You can get deals on the ATI and with 6 bulbs you can get a great color combination. Look at the dimmable sunpower which is really...

    Buyer beware!!!!!!!

    I bought a suit from the Brooks Brothers outlet recently and took it too a tailor to get altered. The tailer informed me the suit did not fit me correctly and to bring it back (I have lost a bunch of weight so I need new suits and am not quite sure what size I am). I threw the reciept away as...

    Permission to upgrade but just thoughts for now

    Is this tank going to be setup pennisula style? Is that why you need viewing from both sides? If so take a look at the elos 120xl. If it truly is going to be your last tank, and you want small overflows, and the ability to put the tank any which way you want, take a look.

    Allquatics

    ACC is getting in a full testing lab pretty soon. It might not be a 25k X ray spec but it will be close.

    Buyer beware!!!!!!!

    I was not going to wade into this thread at all but I think we might need a little reality check here. So a fish died because you made a mistake and you want credit for it? You then say you came clean with the owner, so did you lie at first? This whole thread boils down to "The business did...

    Books worth buying

    Bob Fenner The conscientious marine aquarist is a classic and is updated every now and again Joyce Wilkerson Clownfish Matt Wittenrich's Breeders book (Blanking on the name right now) There are a few more that revolve around coral that we don't have but are fairly well known.

    Then that is probably fine.

    75 gallon Display tank build

    Sounds like plenty of room for some live rock, macro algae and some other stuff. Do you plan on doing anything more that with it?

    Are corals net producer or consumer of nitrate

    I would say probably negligible either way. If they soaked up phosphates and nitrates, people would just stock their tanks with corals and be thrilled. I don't think they produce too many nitrates because they don't produce ammonia the same way fish or foods would. We do know that elevated...

    pH dropped

    You have to give it some time and keep the levels steady. That will help the torch improve, it did with ours when our alk had a bit of a swing.

    New member

    First off welcome. Second, there is some very good advice already being give in the above posts. When we had our first tank, before we discovered a good local store, we did buy distilled water from the shop rite because we were only changing out a few gallons at a time. This works, but is...

    Hydras vs Vegas

    I will throw a wrench in the plans. Maxspect mazarras offer full spectrum and unlimited upgrades.

    Thoughts on Caulerpa?

    If I had to choose, I would always go chaeto. No risk of reproduction and pulls nutrients.

    Best combo for t-5s

    4 bulb over a 75g might be stretching for a clam, you might have to put it up higher. I would probably go 2x blue plus and 2x coral plus but that is just me.

    Best combo for t-5s

    Ati bulbs put out the most par. Blue plus and coral plus seem to be the most popular. With only four bulbs you will probably want a combo of those.
