Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. Thanks for the tip. I have not dosed do you have a brand you recommend? I guess if I dose I need to test too then right, do you use a particular test kit?

Wow everything looks really great!! Great pics.

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. OK update on the way. Things I have done. 1)Straighten the overflow drains out to get rid of the dip. 2)Dialed back the return, I am going to add a reactor. This has slowed down my overflow. 3)Picked the firefish off the floor. :'( Well I tried...

Re: Jasonanatal's 120 gallon "Natural Simplicity" Reef Aquarium. Super ;D glad your still in. Really sorry about your losses. Nice rock congrats on the purchase and the setup looks great.

Great idea Ryan. I think what you have should suit you well. Use credit for something that doesn't increase you bio-load. Wendy made some great points. We have all done some knucklehead things. You have been incredibly patient with waiting for corals you should get props for that. Pictures are...

Hmm do you honestly think that I have not been there? It is my opinion and they sell wild caught bangaii cardinalfish which is a pet peive of mine. We as hobbiest are going to be directly blamed for the demise of this fish. Why don't you report back to me when Trop agrees not to sell wild...

Just keep up your water changes and if you can find a way to do a refugium you are set. Phyl pointed out the chemical warfare problem but without a skimmer you can still run carbon phosbane or a combo.

It is not to much if you need to do it but as Ken asked you need to determine why your nitrates are so high. Other questions would be are you using a canister filter? How old is the tank(if it is new and the right bacteria has not been established yet patience might be the key). How much LR...

I like AO and the two you mentioned. I think their personalized service and their commitment to try to do the right thing makes them a better choice then the larger LFS on 35.

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) I had two sumps that were basically kicked in. The second one was on a corner so was able to get a fix for it. Like Brian said we were all there.

I love mine it may not be a display like reeferwanabe but I have effectively starved all bad algae out of my display along with providing a good pod breeding ground(with some help from Mike)

Did you buy the fish from Trop?

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) Ahh man sorry to hear it. :(

Well two things. In this economy nobody is turning down any work. Second he is a great person who will do his best to help out a friend. I can tell you that I am 100% sure he will not rip you off. So keep it in mind in any case if you cannot find a trustworthy person.

Hey Phil. If you cannot find an individual here is a friend of mine that I have used several time. From emergency to normal jobs he can definately be trusted. Owners name is Mal Braich. http://www.amalficonstruction.com/html/residential.html Bottom left kitchen was mine. Hope it helps. James

I have a pygmy angel that I think is pretty cool fish active and whatnot, or a less reefsafe angel even. He stands up to my bi-color too. Maybe some cardinals?

This is a great question...I had a jumper last week guess you just never know though with any fish.

I think that it is a pretty good skimmer for the price yes. I have never had one but I have never heard bad things about it. (Which you usually do with less expensive skimmers) I would say the rule of thumb with skimmers is the less expensive they are the more negative things you hear about...

OK well I am only trying to help. I think the skimmer is a good one. I am trying to help as I am concerned with the well being of your livestock too. Pics would be great. ;)

Ryan just want to point out that the total number of fish in a SW tank is not the equivalent of in a fresh. What 6 fish do you have? For comparison I have 6 fish in what is probably 140 gallons of total water with a good skimmer, full fuge, 190lb of live rock, and 160 lbs of live sand. I have...
