Lights are probably the last thing you "need" in a set up. But you definitely need some type of lighting if you ever plan to keep any photosynthetic corals. For example, if you set up a biotope of sun corals - you will not need anything but some light to help illuminate your fish/sand. Crazy...

agreed - that style overflow would be ideal.

Actually - Anthony Calfo specifically talks about the "Remote DSB" - and talks literally about using a 5 gallon bucket with sand and high flow across. Even if it "fouls" - it's not difficult to swap out that bucket and replace it. The cost is minimal with plenty of potential benefit. It's in...

Cool- watch the chemistry and let us know how it goes! The more samples the better.

That was weird - I had written something about the link above - and somehow...oh well. That set up was interesting only because the mangroves were in what looked like an 8 inch DSB. Yes but to get the roots to "harden" rather than just be bushy, I believe the thought was to expose the roots...

Go down to eddybabyhd post on the first page and check out his mangrove set up

That would be a great biotope... hey I want one of those waveboxes too...i smell group buy. lol.

From what I read from Calfo/Fenner - mangrove roots grow big (like you see on national geographic etc) because of the tidal changes. Without the tides, it just sprouts roots like any other plant you might frag and keep in a bottle. If you expose the roots to air every so often, eventually (again...

Step right up.... Up for free is a 55 gallon wood stand - I don't know colors (dark/white I get, but not anything in between). I guess it's a kinda dark-ish woody finish. LOL. I got this for free from MAVL666 a while back. I also picked up a nice stand from NEWSALT. So I have two - and I don't...

there should be an option in adobe to "save as text". From there you should be able to paste the actual text right here - unless it's image-intensive.

unlikely to be the mangroves. How many (mangrove) pods do you have? Do you have a DSB for the pods? I may attribute a reduction in trates to the DSB depending on how big it is. Are you running a bigger skimmer?

If any tank needs a tale of the tank for everyone else to follow - it's this one...now let me go search! lol. awesome tank - and don't be discouraged about the so-called "failure". In my opinion, the only failures are those who don't bother to try. You're doing just great!

this is an indication your tank is going thru a mini-cycle and the chemistry is a little out of whack. Suggest a big water change and continued monitoring. Did you recently clean out some LR or did you have bio-balls that you washed? Or did you just have something big die in the tank?

widebody - check out Marc's website on sumps - it's pretty detailed. Melev's website

A single MH (unlike T5 or T12) light is focused typically on a 24x24 space. So you can't assume that 2 400watts (800 watts) would be enough for a 210 gallon tank. You need to take into consideration the size of the tank -which for you is I presume 72". So if you get 2 MH lamps - you're...

Not a starfish - serpent star or brittle star most likely. When we say starfish - I think linkia. Before we jump to the conclusion that the brittle star jumped the fish - is it not possible that there was a problem with the 6line? Brittle stars are quick to jump on anything that shows signs of...

is this what you were lookingat? ebay seller purewaterclub*com

You just missed our Premium Aquatics Group Buy - which would have offered 15% off list plus free shipping. In order to participate you need to weigh the cost benefits behind joining the club and supporting our mission - or saving the money and just using it to pay for the goods. I think if you...

is it being sold in the US? that's a british site. Price? Is it expensive like Tunze Salt?

You don'tneed a sump to set up a QT. A Qt is a completely separate system - never connect it to the display. Also - I'm unaware of some illness that happens to clownfish when they age...?? In terms of what we talked about earlier-copper in high concentrations will cause liver and kidney...
