A 10 gl is no problem but a 90 I doubt that very much. Ok maybe a sump but not a full tank, A 10 isn't really livin on the edge LOL

It really depends on your plans and the size of your display, Leathers,Mushrooms,Zoas,Palys They are all gonna grow quickly and may dominate your tank area. I'd go for LPS like Torch, Frog Spawn, Acans, Brains Cynarina, Bubbles there are so many.Read about there requirerments

The tanks been cycling for a week now and all is good. Do we run our skimmers while cycling?What do you think?

RO/DI is the most important part of your Reef. Water quality is every thing. Buying RO water from a store still has TDS in it. You want 0 Tds to eliminate algea blooms. For a couple of hundred bucks it's a gimme. Plus you don't have to carry jugs from your car.

Theres no reason to have them. Don't you want a thriving LIVE sand bed?

I'm not gonna bother, I tested for Amm. today and to my surprise the cycle has started. Amm. .50, Nitrite .25, Nitrate 0. My Phosphate is a bit high at .62, Calc. 420, Dkh 8, SG is 1.023. So i'm on my way. I think a couple of weeks then I'll Seed the tank with some other live rock. Then I'll...

No not at all. It's 70 gallon with a 38 gallon sump, not a lot of rock in the display but lots in the sump. In fact if you look at my Avatar. That's my tank.:)

Tank looks very nice, like to see a pic of those Clowns

I agree, it's looking for food and not finding it. They eat up your live sand and when there's no more then they die. I would not put one in my tank. I've already made that mistake.

Sixlines are the way I'd go, they are great at eating up the bad stuff, They won't bother snails or Hermits and they stay pretty small.

I tested the tank this morning and I didn't add anything to get the cycle going and to my surprize I have an Ammonia reading of .50. I guess there was some die off on the rock after all

I may go LED in the future but that's it, I've got lots of things to get, like a Kalk reactor, Upgrade the skimmer and return pump maybe set-up a Frag and a Quarantine tank. I used to sell Frags and did very well and the best thing is the people you meet. Lots of fun.

A 65 is a nice size, I started with a 55 then 90,120,180,90,150,65,70 with a few 29 Bio-cubes and a 8 Cubes, Those cubes look nice but they just don't work oh ya I had a real nice 39 Cube it was nice but alas wanted some thing bigger, This 70 I've got now is it no more upgrading or down. I got...

It'll be LPS dominated and a few SPS Like Montipora Capricornis, The easy stuff but very colourful. Brains, Hammer, Torch, Frogs,Bubbles,Acans, Candy Canes

Oh I plan on going slow, I've got plans for the tank and it won't be over crowded, I will be putting in a Yellow Tang then wait a month and then The Coral Beauty, then another month and finally a Flame Angel. That's the plan, NO Clowns, NO Anenomes, NO Chromis
