I am selling my 90 gal mixed reef tank and all contents. I have a good idea of values on everything I'm offering except for my SPS ORA Bird of Paradise... I have a really hard time telling people what id like for it or putting a value on it because they seem to cost a lot. I paid $60 for a...

Guys I really need your help... Im getting out of the hobby after several very awesome years! :sfish: I have my custom built tank and need some pointers in selling it. Its a 90gal mixed reef on hand built frame and hood. I also built the lighting with 4 - 48" T5's and 2- 150watt MH's on...

Here is the scenario. Tonight one of my moon LED strip lights came loose from the hood and a few minutes after it had turned on fell into the tank. 90 Gal Mixed Reef tank btw. I do not know how long it was in the water but couldn't have been more than 5-10 min or so. Its one of the ones with...

Ive been trying to get my hands on a Corallife UV 6x Sterilizer for months now to replace my broken down "Green Killing Machine". Ive had 3 Orders canceled in the last month from online retailers who listed it "IN STOCK" and then canceled my order. The only other places that have them in...

I wanted to get some feedback from some of you with Dragonets... My question is, is there anyway to know what sort of copepod population a tank has? My Reef tank is more than a year old and looks great, plenty of live rock and I can see loads of amphipods in my sump. I dont run a...

Ive been tossing the idea around about adding a skimmer to my sump, Ive got plenty of room and figure Id like to at least give them a try at some point.... Ive heard the ASM G series are pretty good? any other recommendations in the 200-300 range?

Basically Ive got Green water... No Glass Algae, and I already went through my brown diatom cycle.. Just green water?? Ive never seen green water before... :frustrat: Only changes are that I upgraded All Bulbs to 4 new ATI 4' T5's and New 150 watt Metal Halide's... It must have something...

Ive read that HQI bulbs do not filter UV rays like other types of MH bulbs and therefore require an external piece of glass that will filter UV so as not to burn corals... Can anyone confirm this? Im using 2- 150 watt HQI's, do I need to find some tempered glass to put between my tank and bulbs?

Hey guys, Im looking for an upgrade in light fixture, but having trouble finding what I need (pretty specific). Can anyone recommend a 4 foot fixture that has 4 T5's, 2-150 watt HQI Metal Halides and some blue LEDs for moonlight? Oh Also, Id prefer something that can mount to the tank...

Ive have my Blue tang for maybe a week now and immediately she looked great in the new home(she's about 2 1/2"). At the LFS guy told me they are very shy and wont come out for few weeks after being added to a new tank. She went in an immediately made best friends with my Coral beauty. Two of...

I need some cheap "temporary" Metal Halide Pendants for my 90 gal tank. Its either going to be: Odyssea Metal Halide Pendant OR 150W Metal Halide Pendant Lights Opinions? Now before you say Odyssea?! No way those things blow up! Let me assure you they dont and are actually not...

I really want to use Black Sand substrate in my new tank, but was told it isnt sold aragonite based and so it will not help with PH... Is this true does anyone know if I can get black aragonite based sand?

Ive had my new 90 gal tank a few days now and would love to get it setup. Only problem is that I only have my 4 - 48" T5HO's fixture and will need more light to support my few LPS in the 90Gal. So my question is, until the new lighting gets here in maybe a week or two (at most) would my LPS...

Recently we added a fairly large coral banded shrimp to the reef tank on the recommendation of the LFS because I was told they are 100% harmless, Reef safe, and safe around all fish... Further Ive been reading up on them where people swear they would NEVER kill a fish. Ive got some bad news for...

Up until recently I have been on the fence with LED's for reef tanks, but then I had an epiphany... Ive been using LED's for electronic's/robotics for 20 years. They are great, they are reliable, they are a wonderful source of highly efficient lighting :bowdown: and I want in with an aquarium...

Ive had my green hammers for about 3 weeks now, immediately after I put them in my tank they were doing terrific. The larger of the two actually split from 3 to 4 heads about week in the new tank and had spread way out from what it had been in the LFS, I couldnt believe how great they were...

I need to know what some lighting options are for a 120 Gal 48" tank? Has anyone been sucsessful with T5's only? Do I have to get MH's? Right now I just have a good bit of green star polyp, and two different green Hammers. I would like to be able to support a full spectrum of coral...
