Oh, BTW, I'm using a mag 9.5 on my 75 Gallon right now. With about 3' of head. It works perfect. My overflow is a hang on style, rated for 350 GPH.

This will depend on if you have a built in overflow or your using a hang on u-tube overflow. most hang on overflows depending on size, have a limit that they can handle. Same goes for a built in version. If its a hang on version, what I do with all my tanks that have this type of overflow, is...

Just my 2 cents, maroon clowns are downright aggressive!!! There could be people here that haven't had any probs, but nine times outta ten that fish will be brought back to the LFS or sold on craigslist sooner than later. Understand clowns are in the damsel family, which means they can all be...

Hello and welcome Christian! First does your 75 have a built in overflow or are you using a hang on overflow? This to me is very important when it comes to return pumps, If you have a built in overflow disregard everything else I type!:)But if you have a hang on back overflow w/a u-tube, then...

Hello Mark! I wouldnt hesitate at all on aqua c, i personally own 5 of these skimmers for my coral growing business and their wonderful!! The tech. is quite unique but simple in terms of skimmers, being injection style. Imagine your washing your car and u just put soap in the bucket, then u...

Hey everybody, got's a question for you all. I run a fragging and colony coral business(not trying to solicit), but I have an order due in two weeks for 500 frags and was wondering if I could use natural slate floor tile. I have a heavy duty tile saw that im planning on cutting 12"x12" tiles...

Well that sucks:frustrat: I'll tell him.the bad news. Thanks B.

Ok guys i need some serious help here. I have a buddy of mine that has a RBTA that seems to have done something I've never heard of before. This anemone literally separated from it's foot. The mouth and tentacles are one piece, and the foot is still attached to the rock, with a little bit of...

I know this is an older thread, but i thought i'd give you my 2 cents. The photo i saw looked like a toadstool if i'm correct. Not to big into leather's, or colt corals, not because their ugly or plain, but mainly on their issue of toxin release. They can be very aggressive in that aspect. I...

Humu. im going to be biased here, i love the Achilles tang, it is in my top 3 favorites. i've had one once that i got to last three weeks, probably would still be here if i would have realized it had gill flukes:-( I am lucky enough to have a beautiful purple tang about 6" , without a mark on...

If you can count the tentacles on the end of the polyp,( not very easy) if it has 24, it's a gonipora. If it has 12 ,it's a avelapora.

Sorry noob for the late response. On your first ?. Iodine is an antiseptic to begin with, so during transport or if any physical damage to the coral that has happened it helps the coral heal. Now iodine is also toxic to the coral, so it's kind of a double edge sword. Thats why the dip time is so...

Disregard the nine. Stupid autocorrect.:D

CRe: dipping corals I'd just use revive. You could just use Coral Rx also. Wouldn't hurt using either one. It's just Coral Rx is typically more expensive. Especially the concentrated version of Rx nine.

Lugol's and Rx are totally different. Coral Rx is a combo of natural chemicals . Lugol's is just iodine. But are very strong compared to Revive. Example: i got a zoa colony from a local LFS that i could clearly see zoa eating nudi's all over it, since it was a 40 polyp sunny d that was priced...

I have all three. Depending on the need. If i get a coral from someplace or someone i know that hasn't had to many issues, i use Revive. If no experience buying from someone , or theres visible pests , I'll use Lugols or Coral Rx.

I use Revive from Two Little Fishies , also Lugol's solution (in general all it is is iodine mixed with the water the coral came in) but make sure you follow instructions carefully. There are alot of manufacturers but I personally use Seachem. Now if you know that the coral you've purchased...

Hey noob, managing an lfs for a year and talking to coral wholesalers on a weekly basis you learn a few things. Most corals that come into their facilitys usually are boxed up and shipped out within hours of them receiving them, meaning they don't have the ability or time to "clean" said...

Thanks salt! I appreciate the input. Since the radions are on their natural setting mode they are only on full intensity from 2-5pm, so i think they'll do fine. Just wanted some of everyone's input. Thanks again!

Hello all! Its been a very long time since i've been on the forum, but i was wondering if you'll all be gracious enough to give me your opinion on something. I have a beautiful aussie gold torch that i've had for a couple of months thats been doing very well, but im having a dilema with it...
