Ive been wanting to go 150g or bigger for a while now. i was just waiting for the right deal on a set up. i plan on putting the set up togerher and up and running over the next few months. i wand to make sure im going int the right dirrection and get the minimum amount of equipment to get it up...

starting up a 36 bow fowlr. i dont have much experience in salt water but have been doing tons of research. any way my question. the way my stand is i have no room for a sump. so do i just run a HOB skimmer? I have the tank running. live sand and about 20lbs of dry rock in tank now. any other...

Finally setting up my 150high. Doing a fowlr set up. I would like to use my fx5 that i got only a few months ago. My question is if i were to use it, what media should or shouldnt i use. My thoughts are possible leaving the sponges around the outside in and maybe running some LR gravel in the...

yeah its 48x24x31....i looked up the AL LEDs wow they are expensive...im kind of inbetween on the MH and the LEDs. I know ill save $ in the long run with LEDs but the initial cost might be out of my range right now. My thought is im going to go with (2) 400w metal halides and some led moon...

one other question....my tank is not drilled. I am planning on going for an eshopps overflow. i know they dont flow what they are rated for. what size would be good for me. im pretty sure i cant go too big because i could always limit the flow with a ball valve. Just curious if im thinking about...

I am currently planning my winter project. I am switching my 150 high over to saltwater. This is going to be my first saltwater. My question basically is would there be a minimum size my sump set up should be. I was planning on doing a 55g sump with skimmer section and refugium. My problem is i...

Now, The one real thing i am having trouble completely understanding is a refugium. Is this basically a sump with live rock instead of bio balls? does somone have a picture of one for me to reference?. I am going to be ordering alot of my supplies next week so i want to make sure i am getting...

what would be a good filter set up for me. I want to do some corals and fish aswell.
