    Best way to add sand?

    Just a side note....I think it is best to add your LR first then sand. I liked putting something on the glass ... I used cutting boards... another option is egg crate. If you have any sand burrowing critters they could in theory collapse your rocks if you put the sand down first.

    Rocks displace water so is possible you have 100G ish or actual water.

    brand new to reef keeping

    I like the in sump pumps. More a matter of simplicity then anything. External pumps means you need to drill and few other things that I preferred in sump. Making sure that everything fits is a very good idea. Here is my fuge, skimmer, and general setup. No longer use coralife timer FYI. [/img]...

    Well I can say I like the new rockwork better. :-\ Shame for sure, it is a real kick in the pants to get a generator of some sort so that is a positive. It is a cool crab glad it survived.

    Algae and Nitrates

    I will also point out that you have 6 fish in a 34G tank. If that is not overstocked it is close and you have to feed more then your biological filters can probably handle. That plus tap water makes a murky situation. Make sure you stir up your tank before water changes to get out as much crap...

    hair algae..........this is getting out of hand

    Agree you need to find out what is causing it, without a doubt excess nutrients. Question is are you feeding way to much or is there excess in the rocks? Suggestions I have. 1) agressive water changes 30% per 2) check actinic bulbs how old? 3) turkey baster the rocks before water change 4) run...

    Upgrade, 75 gallon reef

    So if everything is going well you are ahead of the game. Lots of different thoughts. First is to get rid of the PC lighting for LED. ;D Have thought of local species, pipe fish with macro algae, and brackish water.
