    Deep Sand Bed?

    Ok, working on 40 gallon after the winter snow disaster and have been doing a little more reading, I pulled the live rock out to "recure" in a seperate system while I removed a "lot" of detritus from teh tank from all the die off. Here's my question, should I go to a deep sand bed? I keep...

    Disaster!

    I basically live in Kansas City, MO, and with the recent winter storm, I just got my power back on! I lost all my fish (not that many, but still!) and some of my polyps seem to be on the verge of dying. A combination of temp and lack of water flow I'm sure. My mushrooms seem to be ok at this...

    Framing techniques

    Have any of you guys ever used any of the reef framing techniques out there? I am interested in trying it. My live rock is cured, but I have no organisms (livestock I've placed anyway) in the tank, I was thinking I may go ahead and do it. For those who don't know the technique you...

    Coral mixes lps+sps+soft?

    Hi, I've been doing some looking into the types of corals that I want for my tank since it's just about time to add corals to my 40 gallon.

    Ozonizers?

    Was at my local lfs today and had a guy who does tank maintenance in the area telling me I should look into them. Anyone know a good brand to begin researching, or can anyone tell me if they are better than UV sterilizers (which he kind of scoffed at by saying they don't stay effective).

    Fluidized bed filters, are they worth adding to a wet/dry sump set up?

    Title says it all, I have a wet dry sump rated for 100 gallons on my 40 gallon reef. I was thinking of adding a fluidized bed filter off the sump, are they useful? I do have an in sump protien skimmer and a refugium in sump, a uv sterilizer in line right before water is returned to the tank.

    well, the title pretty much says it all, I am making my wish list of corals and starting to do my research, if the literature says that a particular coral likes to be target fed, how much and how often should you do that? Do all corals LIKE to be target fed? Mushroom corralimorphs? anenomes...

    Is this a good UV sterilizer?

    Hi, I am looking for a good uv sterilizer for a 40 gallon breeder style reef tank. I found this one at a local shop and the price seems good, too good if you know what I mean, is this thing junk? or worth it? Coralife Turbo-twist 3X 9 watt UV sterilizer

    First tank, have I bitten off too much?
