Hello welcome aboard. I had a 24 G AP so know the size fairly well. Live rock is actually all skeletons from corals. Thus you have some long pieces from a particular area. Get rid of all the ceramic and black things. Out out with them. What I did is filled the lower part of the chambers with...

I usually just cut one or two cubes add couple drops of selcon to each one and give them a little cooking under the lights, add a little garlic, basil, and oregano and toss with angel hair ....wait wait up until the last part ;D. and toss them in. I have to admit my fish are pretty fat and...

I have tried to be better safe then sorry. So my shouldn'ts are rather mild. Successes I have two tangs hippo and naso in 120 ... well hippo was my first fish with ick of course but worked hard to get him healthy and ick free before taking out of QT. Would say that the dedication needed for him...

I would try one additive at a time. The bacteria supplement theoretically should help eliminate the algae right as it would make your "bacterial filter" more efficient? Look forward to seeing your results, not that improving is really necessary :).

Cheato is best with a bulb in the 6500-6900 range. I actually use a flood type light. Next flow is good for cheato...so if you just have it in the side and no flow probably not going to grow as well. Little iodine gives it a nice green color, I don't add iron at all, noticed that when I started...

Looks super ... what is the red LPS in front and center?

Mark hang in there try to keep it simple and you will figure it out.

That is what I do too about once a week.

Thanks very much for having us. You really went out of the way for the kids. Ricky had a great time. I think my son is a NJ Reefer. Now he knows what to do. Looks at the tank, wants to go down and check out the basement ::). And then gets a bite to eat and goes and plays. I want to thank...

I agree with everyone...same question too. Nice documentation on the mesh mod.

I think all delivery people hate reefers. I had two sumps broken on delivery. One looked like they had drop kicked it. And it had at lease 10 Fragile on the box. Our group buy deliveries are usually eventful too. And fish/corals forget about it.

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. Believe me it was really easy...group buy in June is the way to go I am using a Toms Aqualifter....understand that may only last 6 months...so total was less then 100 bucks setup. Next up equipment wise is some sort of controller...which one I...

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. It makes life easier for the water changes that is for sure, but the real hassle savings is with ATO. You have that at least. I used to fill a bunch of gallon jugs and 5 gallon jugs and do once a day top offs was a pain!!! Now every 2-3 weeks I...

Given that the tank is not deep you should be fine. VHO bulbs might give you more pop. Wendy gave you some good guidlines. Caps ect could be just about anywhere. I have a Derasa at the bottom of a 24 in tank actually about 20 inches given my sandbed and it is growing wonderfully. I also...

I don't know how long your tank has been setup but so long as it has cycled and you have some algae and other waste they are very hardy. A month or two should be fine as tbone said.

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. Ironically I updated exactly 1 month ago. So you all saw the tank setup. But, since I have done some upgrades behind the tank in the crawlspace thought would post some pics. Here is my Reef Fanatic ATO unit. Took me very short time to setup...

I wouldn't put more then two in but they are great snails...go for it.
