Yep, we did the upgrade thing from a 24G to the 120G....I suggested another tank to my wife last night. Lets say I was met with a somewhat icy look and a sarcastic remark. We have discussed a future species tank...like pipefish or seahorses when one of the kids gets mature enough to take some...

I tried. We should have David's thread here with our tank builds.

I thought maybe it was that guy Borzat or whatever his name is. :D

Looks good....BTW I had rubble in my back chamber....occasionally I would syphon it out to clean anything that had settled back there.

Everything in moderation sounds like the best policy.

Lets have some pictures huh...besides of that goofy looking dude. ;)

I have some eggcrate if you are going to the meeting...let me know how big a piece you need. When I used like the phosban filter pad I rinsed it out every few days and changed every couple of weeks....floss I just replaced every few days.

Just watch your nitrates....I used couple different things but always made sure I kept up with the maintainace. I still use it in my QT tank but test for almost daily and change the filter media constantly.

Re: Brian's 225g Monstrosity! If you live near David then I likely can help on Monday too....I take the train from Woodbridge and then go over to Dunnellen.

That is what most of the all in one nano type tanks have. I had a refugium set up in mine, along with a bag of phosbane, and I also used filter floss that I replaced every few days. Don't see why you couldn't do the same inside that tank....bit of a different approach but suppose doable...

I think they have problems with bigger bubbles. I gently loosen them with my finger you don't need a screw driver guys....man up already little algae won't hurt you. ;D Try not to break them but it happens. I just work them loose and pull them out when I get one too big for the crabs.

You can certainly keep SPS under T5 lighting, Tek lights, Catalina Aquariums, Ice Cap retros, and there are bunch of other ones. I would say 6 or 8 bulbs for you tank would work. I have 8x54 Catalina Aquarium fixture and it is doing great. I think JerseyWendy had a 6x54..Tek on her 75...if...

I wanted to start this thread before I saw we had a new forum. Think it is the right place for it. So it was almost exactly one year from the start of our reef tank. We had a vague idea that we wanted to upgrade and then I stopped at Bills for a group buy pickup. That was the push I needed. So...

That is very cool....do you have to take your reflector out? I would think that it is just useless as the LED is directional. Please let me know how it goes. PM me the website mate so I can take a look too.

Very interesting ... I would seriously consider something like that. Will have to take a look. Not that I currently have the money for it mind you. :'(

Don't be so secretive, share with the class.

Blue ones can add some pop mine at night are very cool. There are some different LED light bars that would be rather easy to add. White or blue will both add some lighting to your tank.

You could supplement what you have with either VHO or LED lights. VHO would give you more pop color wise and you could use your T5 at 6500 or 10K for growth. LEDs give good shimmer in my opinion so for little energy bump you could add some LEDs blue or white ones. What you have is equivalent to...

http://www.sunlightsupply.com/aqua/products.aspx?request=AQUA_SUNBLAZE&title=Fluorescent%20Lighting&type=product Looks a lot like these which are the cheap version of the Tek lights. Don't know if you need 8 bulbs on that small a tank, I know that ryan88 was selling his lighting...

Cardinal fish (CB), blenny, wrasses(if tank is covered) of the smaller variety, dottyback (with care, try for more gentle one), hawkfish(with caution), chalk bass, dwarf angel and chromis as previously mentioned. You could probably get away with one tang but would only suggest kole or tomini...
