After you cycle it is entirely dependent on your bioload on % and how often for water changes. My tanks never register anything for ammonia, nitrite, nitrates, or even phosphates. I have a 90 gal reef tank with a 36 gallon sump. I have a larger skinmer in the sump. You will have to find out what...

Seriously? Nobody knows what this is?

What is this? Is it nothing to worry about or is it bad?

Good idea with the spigot. I usually just throw a large pump in one of mine and transfer what I need to my other Brute 32 and roll it into the house on Thursday so the water can get room temp. Then on Friday after work I add the salt and a powerhead. Then Saturday I do my water change.....pretty...

I dont think so.

Basement....you must love up North. We had one when I lived in Chicage as a kid, but here in the SW Houston Texas area...people dont have basements. Its not ao bad doing the water change the way I do it. It takes no time at all. Did 20gal in the 90gal tank and 5gal in the 14gal tank yesterday...

Probably not as the constant main food source, but it certainly shouldnt do any harm.

Great photos. What kind of camera did you use and what settings?

So I decided to call Seachem and talk to them about their AquaVitro Salinity salt mix. They informed me that the best way to mix their salt is, in my situation, to use my 32gal Brute and if I have, say 25 gallons of ro/di water in it, add salt for 10 gallons and mix and allow to dissolve over...

Thanks for the info. What brand do you use? With regular water changes I dont want to have to dose much.

Congrats! That is an awesome pic. I cant wait to put one of those little guys in my sons Biocube 14.

I know this is an old post, but still a valid concern. I have two 32 gallon Brute cans. One, I keep water from the RO/DI in the garage filled to about 30 gallons along with an airstone for aeration. Each week I wheel my other 32 gallon Brute can to the garage and siphon 20 gallons of fresh water...

From left to right my first baffle is 12.5" from left side and stands 11.5" tall. 2nd baffle is 24.25" from left side and stands 10.75" tall. Next baffle is 2.5" to the right of baffle #2 and is 9.5" tall in physical height and sits 2.5" from the bottom while the top of that baffle sits about...

Thats crazy that Ace Hardware wouldnt have any. I bought about 30 feet of it recently. As far as the reinforced....I dont know. I try to keep things simple rather than just settling for it because thats all you can find. You can find it on eBay pretty cheap with free shipping.

Tank looks good. The Hawkfish might eat that Clown Goby though..and maybe the Royal Gramma, depending on size....they can eat small fish and shrimp.

Good luck indeed....I paid $900 for my Maxspect Razor for my 90gal tank.....that is 4 feet.

Maybe a freshly molted Sally Lightfoot.

Great photos!

So, after being out of the hobby for nearly 6 years the wife and I jumped back into it. This time we spared no expense. 90gal reef ready tank, stand and hood, Razor 320w 15000k LED, 36gal sump, Octopus 150 skimmer, 120lbs LR, 80lbs LS, Sicce 3 powerheads. I am running a 4 stage RO/DI (2xDI's)...

It has been in my sump for a while now and I have never had any grow in the tank.
