Many of you know I have a juvenile bursa trigger in my 72g bow. Well, I thought this would be the perfect fish for me. No picky dietary needs, one of the hardiest types of fish you could have AND it was a fun fish.
Well, problem encountered.
I am away for a week at a time somewhat regularly...
I am considering ditching all of my other powerheads (4 in total = 4,000gph) and replacing them with a single Vortech pump positioned on one end of the tank. 72g bowfront : 48" x 18"
My questions:
1. Will this be enough random flow for SPS?
2. Will this be too much single direction flow?
3...
Wanted some opinions...
For my 72g BOWFRONT I am contemplating a 36" light fixture.
Few reasons:
1. Because of my skimmer and filter setup (on either side of the tank) I cant use a 48" setup that sits ON the tank
2. I am not too crazy about hanging anything from the ceiling
3. Because the...
OK...here is why I am having trouble finding a MH fixture that will work.
1. I cannot use a hanging pendant
2. I have my Remora skimmer on the SIDE of the tank
So I am stuck finding a 48" MH system that has legs that will sit on the edge of the tank but will still allow the skimmer to hang on...
Help me get my thoughts together on a clam only tank...or a clam bed type tank.
I was thinking somewhere along the lines of a 40 or 50 breeder...open "look down" or zero edge wont work.
I would like to hear ideas and opinions as far as:
lighting, K temp of bulbs, color of sand, filtration...
Hey all. I currently have 2x54w T5 (1 x 10000K, 1 x actinic) on my 72 bowfront FOWLR.
Im looking for a bit more intensity...something that will make the fish *pop* a bit more...and the ugly brown palys not look so ugly (is that possible?) Not looking for coral growth...just bulbs that make the...
Hey all.
I have a 72g bowfront with a 4-5" Bursa Trigger in there. The trigger is great...healthy and eats very well. He has been in the tank for about 3 weeks.
I was thinking of adding a Snowflake Eel to tank as well. The trigger is pretty much free swimming, only tucking into one of the...
Over the past few months I have been liquidating my sportscard collection (Football and Hockey). I sold most of the big money cards but I now have hundreds...maybe a thousand...football and hockey rookie cards still left.
I am looking to get rid of them.
If anyone has kids who would get a kick...
I am giving someone directions from southbound NJTP to the Betsy Ross Bridge via exit 4.
Does anyone have an idea how far it is from the exit to the bridge?
I know you get off Exit 4 (onto Rte 73 I believe) and follow signs for the BRB...I think its a Left hand exit. I just dont know how far...
Does anyone know how the MJ1200 pump is supposed to be oriented in the preskimmer box?
I purchased one the other day and tried like hell to get the pump to fit but it wont.
According to the website, I have the correct size & measurement box for the pump I am using.
Anyone?
I am not originally from the area so the first time I packed up the car and headed to the beach (I still cant call it "the shore" out loud) I was suprised at the rules and regulations.
You had to pay to get on to the beach? You had to wear a little metal tag on your shorts.
Then you werent...
Our agent sold my fiancee a $50,000 policy last year (unknown to me) of whole life insurance.
Premiums are less than $50/month right now.
He is telling us the benefits of the cash value and equity building...and how the policy can be used to draw from in the future, tax free.
Everyone I speak...
Let me run something by the group.
72g bowfront
60lbs live rock
60lbs sand
Stocking plans: Picasso trigger, inverts (for cleaning and for food)
I am trying to decide if I should stick with my Remora Skimmer or switch to a Magnum HOT canister filter.
Here are my pros/cons.
