http://www.carolinafishtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6018 Got a good deal for this setup. Now I need to get a 40 gallon breeder for a sump, a good return pump, skimmer, and some powerheads for inside the tank. Also, need to buy some bulbs! I want suggestions from you guys! Let's hear em...

Hi All, I have a question, I bought a nice pair of true Percula Clowns tonite and acclimated them to my tank's temp and salinity and added them to my display. My sixline wrasse went berserk and started darting at them and nipping at them. Is this behavior going to change...is he/she going to...

Hi All, So my order for my Octopus skimmer was cancelled because the guy was going out of business due to some lawsuit or something so I am back in the market for a skimmer for my 30 gallon reef setup. I have had 3 ASM skimmers and they are having issues with the new design of the pumps so I...

Hi All, I just ordered an in-sump Octopus skimmer, I believe the 110, that is rated for 90 gallons. The guy at my LFS said the Octopus skimmers were garbage. This of course after I have had three ASM skimmers not work correctly. Is this guy right or is he just wrong? He said he ordered...

Hi All, So I bought my first two fish tonite: a diamond goby and a six-line wrasse. I also bought a Peppermint Shrimp. I drip acclimated them and then after about three hours introduced them into the system. I haven't seen the wrasse since and the diamond goby is in one of my live rock...

Hi All, Can I use a XM 150W 15K DE Metal Halide as a replacement metal halide on my Current SunPod? I just want to be sure before I ordered one! Thanks, Reefy

Hi All, So I woke up this morning and looked at my tank and saw that one of my trochus snails wasn't to be found. I looked around the tank and found his/her shell in the sand basically covered and no snail to be found. I figured one of my two hermits bullied him out or something, but about...

OK All, Cross your fingers for me, but I think I have struck a deal for an All-Glass 120G with stand. It also comes along with the glass tops! Ok so this should be fun....I need you to suggest which accessories I get for the tank. This means best bang for the buck in all areas including...

Hi All, Is it possible to have a shell-less snail in your tank? I think I have a snail without a shell. Also, I have a small whitish shrimp in my tank...less than half an inch long. What kind of shrimp is it?? Thanks, RC

Hi All, Just need some suggestions on a few items I am going to pick up for my tank (hopefully tanks soon)! First, I need to get a spare 150W double ended MH bulb...I like the look of the 14K so whatever would be the best and most cost effective would be great! Next, would you guys suggest...

Hi Guys, I was supposed to buy a 120 gallon All-glass tank last week, but the seller backed out of our deal so I have been looking for a larger setup and found this: 75 gallon drilled tank, plus 55 gallon sump/fuge, all the plumbing which includes shutoff valves, heavy duty steel "l" beam...

Hi All, Now that I got my tank parameters where they should be and my CUC is working to get everything under control my thoughts are shifting to what kind of stock I want to put into my tank. I know I will probably get a peppermint or coral banded shrimp (after a month or two of course), but...

Hi All, Did a system check last night and found my salinity to be 1.025, pH to be 8.2 (after MH was off for 3 hours, it is usually 8.4 when the light is on), my ammonia was zero, my nitrites were zero, and my nitrates were around 20. My plan moving forward is to do a 5 gallon water change (I...

Hi All, I got some more live rock for my tank last night and I saw a new creature of some sort last night. I cut out all my lights and was looking in the tank with a flashlight when I saw a small (maybe 1/2") narrow whitish looking creature dart away into the darkness of the rock. This thing...

Hi All, Just curious as to when I would do my first water change after my cycle is over? As it stands now my live rock is being covered with diatoms, but there is still some coralline on some of my rocks (green and purple). Do I perform a water change before I introduce my CUC or do I wait...

Hi All, Well one week into cycling my tank and I have an issue. I have brown stuff all over my rock and sand...it looks like it is spreading. Is this OK? On a better note, I have some feather dusters and snails in my tank. No idea where they came from, but for now they are my...

Hi All, My protein skimmer seems to quit working and then it starts working again. Is this the pump getting overheated or something?? FYI I have an ASM Mini-G skimmer. Thanks as always! ~RC

Hi All, Setting up my tank today and the overflow to the sump is rather loud. It has a sock in it, but it still makes a lot of noise. Also, how do I set my skimmer? It didn't come with a manual! Thanks, Rocky

Hi All! My sump came in today and I picked up my tank tonite. It is a 30g Oceanic Premier Cube that has been drilled. I have taken some pretty bad pics! I also picked up a 150W Rena SmartHeater (what do I need to set it at?), a Rio 14 Hyper Flow pump (840 GPH), and an ASM G-1 protein...
