I noticed this tonight as I filled up my tank to check for leaks. I'm not sure if it was there before I added the water, and I'm not even sure what it is. It looks like its between where the two pieces of glass meet.

Any one use the coralife digital timer. I just got 2 on ebay for $20 each. Are they hard to set up? What about jebo heaters. Anyone have any feedback on them?

So yeah I'm not very smart when it comes to the plumbing of a system. This is my first ever tank I'm setting up. Anyways the drain line is pretty simple just a hose from the outlet to the inlet in the sump model 3. Its the return thats bugging me. My LFS told me to run both a UV Sterilizer...

Well I figured it was time for a little update. I received my light and skimmer, bought my return pump, a power head, put another one on order and bought a heater. Just a few more peices and it will be ready for water.

OK so today I received my Coralife Aqualight Pro 48" unit. It's the 150 watt MH unit. Anyways one of the blubs looked perfect out of the box. The other bulb though had a rusty brown look to it. After hooking everything u I turned it on to make sure everything was working. I let the unit run for...

OK so my question is does anybody have any experince with them. Are they good or bad. I brought one today and just wanted to see what everybody thought.

So whats your experience with them. My LFS says I should use the Rio 2500 for my return pump. Says he's been using them for ever and never has a problem but all I see online is people having problems with them.

Well I'm excited. I brought it home yesterday and now get to start buying the rest of my equipment.

How many of you guys have to run a chiller for your tank. I had another guy on another site tell me that after having all the equipment that I need I'd be lucky if I didn't need a chiller. I didn't think I was getting all that much equipment just what was needed to get the tank running. He was...

So my tank and stand are being paid on. Should be paid off and picked up around the middle of April. Decided to put it on layaway instead of droping that much cash all at once. Its a 75gal tank with a really nice cherry wood stand. The freaking stand was almost twice as much as the tank. Anyways...

I just went and looked at my friends tank that he has had for a little under a year. Anyways a few weeks back he noticed worms in his tank. They stay under the rocks and hardly ever come out. They're dark on each end and kind of a pinkish red in the center of their body. They look kinda hairy...

Someone plese tell me that this is wrong. Here in Clovis CA where I live we pay $0.21 per KWH (keliwatt hour) for electricty. Well theres 1000 watts in 1 KW. Metal Halides are 400 watts each and I would need to run 2, so thats 800 watts. So 1000 divided by 800 is 1.25. So thats 1.25 KW for both...

Here soon I plan on buying a 90 gal All-Glass Mega Flow Overflow Aquarium with matching canopy. My questions is what lighting options do I have with this setup and how do I mount the lights under the canopy. I plan on having a mixture of fish and coral leaning more towards the fish side of...

Ok I hope this isn't to stupid of a question. Anyways the book I'm reading says that most reef tanks have very few fish, and I would rather have more fish then coral, but at the same time I don't want a fish only tank. My question is would it be ok to buy a reef tank setup with reef lighting and...

I know it all depends on how stocked your tank is and how big it is but how much do you guys spend say per month on food and standard maint. On average.

Has anybody had a glass tank shatter or leak on them. Is there anyway to prevent this. The tank i'm interested in is an 80 gallon glass tank. I've heard nothing but horror stories from various people I know about coming home from vacation and theit tank leaked all the water out to coming home to...

Anybody have any tips for a newbie. I mean I don't have a tank yet so any information would be helpful. Also I've been told that its ok to buy the tank, filters, skimmer, sand and a few pounds of live rock to get started and not to feel bad if the tank sits there for a month or two before i buy...

Sorry but I'm completly new to this. Does anybody know of a good site I can go to to check out tanks of different sizes and shapes. Also somewhere where I can see the price difference between glass and Acrylic tanks. Thank you so much.
