Im in the process of hooking the apex system up and need advice on the ato portion of it. I bought the breakout box today and am wanting to order my float switches but am unsure on the number I need. I know I will at least need on in the sump to measure when the water level drops. Will I also...

Do you feed yours? if so, with what and how often?

I have been battling red cyano in my 75g for a while now and am starting to get concerned. I have been rinsing food, cut back on lighting, installed the bio pellet reactor which nipped this problem in the butt the last time i had an out break but have since moved and my water source has changed...

So its that time; finally have the ball rolling with the 180 gallon upgrade. I planned on having a custom tank made for this build but the budget was capped by the lady less than a custom tank would have cost. So I searched craigslist as well as local forums for weeks in search of the perfect...

I originally had my mind set on the Vertex in-250 for my 180gallon upgrade but now that I have the tank; I have found they have been discontinued and it seems hard to find one for sale. With that being said, I need your recommendations based on what you have used (key word; used. please...

not sure which thread seems appropriate for this question but who do you folks recommend for large aquarium purchases? im having trouble finding one locally and am trying to avoid glass cages; read bad reviews with their tanks. Im looking for a 180g 72x24x24 if it helps.

I know clown fish can be funny and aggressive, especially maroons but with that being said; I have had an ocellaris pair in my tank for 1yr now. everything has been fine up till now... i have noticed one clown became more aggressive towards the other. I observe them swimming and for weeks they...

Basically copied and pasted this from RC as I got no help there. Many of you that have seen my build have noticed my sps's but some of them arent doing so hot and the others are doing great so I sought out for a different opinion. This was my thread on RC, maybe you guys will be better help...

I left a packet (brand new at that) on the counter last night after feeding and didnt discover it until today. Of course it was thawed out... Does that mean its ruined or is it safe to refreeze and reuse?

anyone have any experience using these? I hear theyre easy to maintain alk levels and ph levels in the reef tank and can be used with ato systems. i have a jbj ato, how would i set this up if i decided to do so?

Figured this would be a fun thread as many of us asked for aquarium stuff for Christmas. Heres a chance to share whats new in your tank, I'll start: I now have 2 new hydor 1400's and a new hydor smartwave too

tank has been setup for 10 months now and my salinity has always been around 1.025, over the past few months is slightly lowered to 1.024 and I am aiming for 1.026. Is it possible to just add a little bit of salt to the sump to raise my salinity to that 1.026 or do i have to make it and do extra...

know any reputable sources for healthy sps frags? Want to buy some more sps corals now that my tank is ready for them but not impressed with what i have here locally in my LFS's

which would you recommend? im running 2x maxi jets with mods right now but want to go to something more efficient. Family needs Christmas ideas and so far, thats the only thing I can come up with. I would love to have the mp40s but I know that isn't an option at the moment due to price.

I want to start keeping sps corals in my tank, i've tried some in the past but i think it was mainly due to my lighting not being strong enough. since then, i have upgraded to led's and with optics, im pushing 600+ par at the top of my tank, mid 400is in the middle and 200s at the bottom. My alk...

I want to buy some colorful and unique zoanthid frags. Any recommendations as to where i can get some?

can these 2 be housed together in a 75g?

whats the best food to feed them? i have frozen mysis, krill, and flaked foods but i've read pellet food works best if i let it soak. the shrimp works well but is a pain to feed with the water flow. what would you recommend?

question in regards to my 75g/current corals, and new corals... I have never dipped my corals (shame on me) and i know its a good thing to do... my dilema, again, the corals in my tank have never been dipped. i have found some unwanted hitchikers in the tank and im sure they're from some of the...
