    Tank sell-off.

    Shut down the 180 and need to sell off what's left of it. Only posting stuff I can actually ship. Still have all the live rock that was in the tank but I don't want the hassle of shipping it. Here's what's left: Two Jebao WP-40 wavemakers. $60 each or both for $100. ASM G2 protein skimmer...

    Lighting a 20" frag tank.

    So I pulled the trigger for a 20"x20"x8" frag tank and now I am looking at what kind of light to get for it. I want to be able to grow anything in it. I have three of the eBay units over my 180 and they do pretty well but I'm thinking that those are 16" long and with the frag tank being only 20"...

    New frag tank setup questions

    I got a few questions regarding a new frag tank I'd like to start. First, I don't want to make my own since I don't trust myself when it comes to putting 30 or so gallons in a box and trusting it not to come apart and it's all done. So I'm looking to buy one and I was looking at advanced...

    Palys not fully opening

    I'm wondering why a group of palys in my tank never extend their "skirts". They will open up but only small areas will extend their skirts and most of the time it's only part or a head that will extend. This group I sin the middle of the tank and I have flow going right over it so they move...

    Ich, Velvet or something else?

    Came home to a kole tang that looks like it's dying and I'm missing my lyretail anthia. The kole I barely got a glimpse of but what I could see of it it was breathing heavy and I barely got a glimpse of it but it looked like it had a couple white patches on it. I also have a sailfin tang that...

    Adding Lyretail Anthias

    I have a male lyretail anthia I got about a month ago. When getting him, I had the intention of getting him 3-4 females to be with. Would it be ok to add the females one by one or would they need to be added all at once?

    Hundreds of tiny snails, good or bad?

    For a while now I have had a bunch of these tiny snails that mostly come out at night but I do see some out when the lights are on. Are they good or bad? If bad, any natural predators?

    blue niger triggers

    Looking for anyone who has had a blue niger trigger in a reef system. I know some say yes and some say no. I have a chance to pick one up and add it to my 180 but want to be sure before I do. The only shrimp I have is a cleaner. The guy that has it says he has peppermints in his tank that...

    Adding dry rock to existing system.

    I have had my 180 running for about a year now and I started it with about 100 pounds of new dry rock from Reef Rocks. I now want to add 50 pounds to it and possibly another 50 a little later after I see how it looks with the first 50. I'm obviously going to rinse it off really well when I get...

    Wavemaker stopped working

    I have two Jebao wp40's in my 180 gallon reef. Just noticed today that they newer of the two has stopped running. I look at the controller and the lights are off on it and the ac adapter light is flashing the green light. If I unplug it from the pump the lights turn on like normal. If I...

    Just picked up this wrasse recently and it was listed as a "Venusta Coris Wrasse" but I have not found much at all on them. Can anyone identify it? I'd like to know more about it. Sorry about the crappy pics but the phone camera blows :(

    Can't grow hard corals

    My 180 has been set up for over 10 months now. I can't seem to be able to keep any kind of hard coral alive and if it does live, it always looks like crap. Right now I have an assortment of hammers, frogspawn, two acans, a few acros and milliporas and two monti caps. All of the above look...

    Directing wavemakers

    I know this has been asked hundreds of times but I think each time it's different due to tank configurations. I have my 180 with two WP-40's in it. I have one on each side and both are about half way up the tank and about three quarters toward the back. The one on the left side points to the...

    Part of lights not coming on

    I have four sets of led's over my 180. They have two switches on each of them and there's three fans, one switch runs one fan and 20 leds and the other switch runs two fans and 20 led's. I was looking earlier cause the one on the end of the tank didn't look right so I looked under and saw that...

    Sedra KSP 5300 Pump not working

    Had a quick power outage and now the pump for my ASM G2 skimmer, the KSP 3500 pump will hum but won't start up full speed. Took it apart and cleaned it up but nothing is up with the impeller. Magnet isn't swollen. Is it the pump or the impeller?

    Bengai Cardinals

    I want to add some bengai cardinals to my tank. I'd like to get four of them but I think maybe you should have an odd number of them for aggression reasons. Is this the case and should I get only three or is it ok to go four?

    CO2, what is it and how to test?

    I haven't been able to do a water change for quite a while but plan to do a big one this week. I have a small red planet acro in the tank that's always been a nice pink color but it's basically bleached white now and I read that some level of CO2 may be present but I'm not sure that a simple...

    Importance of surface agitation

    I have what's basically a coast to coast overflow box on the back of the tank that sends water down to the sump. I know most of the time you want surface agitation so you can get the whole gas exchange thing going but considering how much water I have being moved from the tank through the...

    What's going on with monti cap?

    I had this large piece of monti cap given to me along with another small piece I have placed elsewhere. I know when you see white edges on these that it means they're growing. This one has developed dark edges all around the back of it. Is this good or bad? Also, I noticed a while back a...
