I currently have a 46 gallon with 2 150w aqualight advanced fixtures (the tank mount ones), and am about to upgrade to a 75rr with canopy. I know you are not supposed to mount the aqualight fixtures under a canopy, so I was wondering if it would be possible to disassemble the fixtures and mount...

Yes I was planning getting rid of the timers. Also this tank will probably have more softys and lps than sps.

Hello everyone! All has been going well with my system. I was wanting to replace my 4 MJ1200's for 2 Koralias. The tank is a 46 gallon with a 15 gallon sump/fuge holding about 11 gallons of water for a total of about 57 gallons, with a mag 5 for a return pump. The 4 MJ's are on timers where two...

Yeah there is an abundance of food for him. He is so fat and is doing very well. I have had him for about a week now and he is as happy as can be.

Thanks again for the comments. Here are a few more pictures. I had to change a few rocks because they were not stable enough. My newest addition. Hope you like them.

I am not sure exactly what happened to the clam. It has seemed fine for the past 8 months then 3 days ago I came home and about 4 snails were eating it. That was a huge loss because I loved that clam. I will have another sometime.

Thanks for your comments guys. This tank has come so far in the 15 months since it was set up, and I owe it to everyone on this site that contributes to the unlimited valuble information that is available. Thanks!

Here are some updated pics of my tank, hope you enjoy. This is an older picture. and this is a recent picture. I got 26 more pounds of live rock and a branching frogspawn head for $52 which I thought was a great deal plus it filled the tank up more. I also had a huge algae outbreak that...

Now this is classic.

Seems to me like its time to get the refugium built and running to compete for the nutrients that all this algae is growing off of.

Thanks Biff, I will get rid of it asap. Is it best to just pull it off or do I need to scrub it?

I was wondering if anybody could help me identify these. There is this green algae growing on this rock. It grows fairly quickly. It also grows on my clams shell and I have to pull it off of him every couple of days. should I leave it on the rock or get rid of it? Also there is this brown...

Thanks everyone for your replys. Those are 150 MH's 14000k with 2-21 T5 03 actinics. The coraline algae has been growing like crazy lately. I love how the hermits scale the back glass with it.

I have finally beat all the algae and dinos and took a couple of photos. Hope you like them! Full Tank Shot Frogspawn Clown & BTA Blue Legged Hermits on Back Glass

I'm in South Houston, Yote. Thanks for the info Reeffreak, after the water change tonight and the fact that the mh's have only been on for 3 hrs now, the tank is looking a litter better. I will just keep my eye on it and see what happens. Thanks again.
