Please don’t repeat bad information. This is a huge deal. People are dying slow painful deaths alone in a hospital Bed. Don’t use trigger words like snowflake. This is not about being brave or strong this virus doesn’t give a ****. If you are poor or rich it kills Old and young. (17 yr old boy...

I like refugiums but if you don’t have space this is a good solution.

Yeah I get it at hobby lobby and it’s like $8 a tube. One tube can do a 6ft tank. I used that paint to paint my frag tanks and I had to take it off and I was able just to scrape it right off.

yeah this tank is in the basement so I am the only one that’s going to see this tank. I can put some low light corals in the back of the tank and enjoy them from the other side. Like a sun coral maybe ?

I use to paint the back of all my tanks but this time I think I will leave it see through. That way I can enjoy the tank from both sides. This will also help me clean the back glass. If I change my mind the paint I use is a water base vinyl paint that is safe so I can paint while the tank has water.

Thank you

So the carbon is clearing up the water. now you can see the fish. No we have to wait 90 day no lights.

No it’s not a stupid question. When you power Goes out or you return pump dies. Water from your main tank will go down to your sump. It’s not a lot of water but it’s enough to spill. the 10 gallon the tank is not able to hold all that water. you will also like to add a skimmer/heater/return pump...

yes my tank had two one in each corner. you don’t need baffles right away. I would keep it simple. Just run the hose from the tank to the sump. You can add a sock holder as well The sump in the beginning is just a place to put a heater and skimmer . Prefilter sock holder mount with 1 free...

you don’t have to drill anything use the holes you got.

I keep it simple one drain and one return I also agree a 10 gallon tank is too small for a 75 gallon. I would do a 40 breeder . use the 20 long for a frag tank and the ten gallon for qt

if your tank is doing good I wouldn't touch it. but the reason why you raise the intensity is to get a better spread. Look at the BRS video on the kessil. They test it in a 24 inch tank and they have their lights at 100%

I had them in my old tank 125 6’ x 18 x24 tall I was getting 80-120 on the floor And around 200-240 in the middle. I ran all lights at 100% I would like more light. So for this tank I think I will either get the new kessil AP9x if your tank is happy you should keep it at that intensity. If you...

I got my seneye used from a member on the forum. I knew I was going to move and I had to setup a new tank at the new home. being able to monitor ammonia without having to test every day is great. it also does PH and temp so I haven’t needed to setup my apex yet. it also works as a water level...

I have 3 kessil 360x from my last tank. but those lights are not strong enough to penetrate a 30”deep tank. So they will move to the frag tank and I will looking into buying a new kessil AP9x and set that up in the middle with two 360x on the side. I have a seneye as a par meter and that works...

I agree I think tanks with a diverse population of bacteria are more stable.

I know I lot of people that have used bio-spira with good success. I think You can use your old rocks. Just clean them out and leave them in a brute can for a few months. BRS has a good video on how to do it.

When I first setup my 1st tank I used DR Tim’s bacteria. I also used all dead caribe sea rocks and I had a bunch of algae problems. now I have live ocean rock mixed in with my caribe sea rock. In my opinion live ocean rock if you can get it is best thing for growing corals. From what I can see...

So today I added more bacteria. I wanted to make sure you guys understand that I didn’t just put fish in a new tank. I have been running two frag tanks for a few months now with some of my old rock from my last build. I have been dosing Fritz bacteria to help with the cycle. I decided to use...

Today I add more rocks and sand. The water is cloudy but I add some carbon so let’s see if it clears up tomorrow.
