Since my tank will never be complete, I am starting my build thread 5 years into it. To show the size of my new skimmer I put the 2 liter bottle next to it.

Re: October POTM Entries! I give it the first try.

I have a 90 gallon mostly sps now. I have an ice cap 660 and 4 65 watt ps lights. One of my local reefers will sell me 2 175 watt retros to replace the pc. It would only be 135 bucks. I want 2 250 watt halides but I really think the 175s will be enough. I guess I am just lookin for some imput.

I was just wondering if anyone out there is completly satified with their tank. I have made a ton of improvements to mine this last year and it just doesn't stop. I switched from 2 canister filters to a 20gal sump/fuge. I went from 2 seaclone skimmers to a ramora pro then I traded that for my...

I just traded my ramora pro for a mrc-1 skimmer. I got a new mag 12 for it and am planning on setting it up within a couple of days. I want it setup now because this should be a huge improvement to my setup. I have a lightly stocked 90 mixed reef with a 20 long for a sump/fuge. Wich is why I...

I am building a 20 gallon long refugium and was woundering if anyone has ran a ramora pro in their sump and how well it worked. What is the difference in the structure of the pro and the urchin?

I have a friend that is bringing his corals over tonight, because everything looks like crap. He just plumbed a new tank and he used a brass piece in his plumbing. I pretty much told him I thought that was the reason everything is looking very bad. He has two anemones that he said are shrunk up...

If this is stupid just let me know. If I place my drain tube for me canister in a overflow box and posibly the return pipe too to prevent over flow. Could I drill two holes in the side of a canister filter placed above a ten gallon tank and used a maxi jet power head for a return into the...

I have almost all argonite with some crushed coral. Everytime I have done a water change lately I suck what I can off the top. Will I be able to get a goby that will stir up the sand. Also what would be a good kind? I am getting sick of the dead spots. No matter how much flow I have I alway see...

I am thinking of making a ten gallon above tank refugium. The many question is can I use my maxi jet powerhead from my old seaclone skimmer? I think it's a 1200. Would a regular strip light be enough lighting? Will I be able to put a ball valve on the overflow from the ten gallon to maintain the...

I have a 90gallon reef tank that I have 2 canister filters running for years now. Just lately my nitrates have been through the roof. I have been told by local reefers to change them into a dark refugium by putting nothing but live rock in them. I did this to one today and will do it to the...
