I upgraded my 55 to a 90 over the weekend an am in need of some new lighting. The lighting on my 55 doesn't quite fit over the new 90 obviously and I had to remove the halides that were in the hood because they push the tank over the 84 degree limit. Right now all I have is a couple LED strips...

I'm sure we all have had some pretty bad experiences with some of our local fish stores. I know I have. I have 3 stores within walking distance of my home and it amazes me the battles that go on between the 3. Well I should say the one going after the other two. I just don't get it. I know...

Can a clam harm a tank of it dies? Does it need to be removed?

I have a 12 gallon AIO Cube that I picked up. No lid and the light it comes with is enough to grow only Zoa's and Mushrooms. The wife would like to be able to grow more light needy corals. I typed Par38 into google and got about a billion different types. Ranging from 60-and up. I was curios to...

Protection sought for orange clownfish, of 'Finding Nemo' fame Just got done reading this and it makes me sad...I believe in getting captive bread fish as often as i can to help out with this kinda problem and I wish there was more I could do to save the reefs so things like this can be helped...

So here is my story ha. I know how much time and effort it takes on our parts to keep our reefs or fish only tanks up and running. Not to mention all the time I spend sitting in my living room staring at the tank.:mrgreen: I work from 9-5 Mon-Fri which seems to be the hottest time of the day...

So this is probably dumb on my part, but maybe you guys can help me out with why this happened... Last night I decided to replace the crappy overflow box that I had with a PF-300 overflow box, got it home and out of the box. I turned off my return pump and unhooked the old overflow box...To my...

I've been told a bunch of things about feedings. Once a day once every other day.....what are your thoughts? Does It depend on the type of tank? I've got a 56 gallon reef. With clowns wrasse fish, firefish and a coral beauty. I've been doing every other day? Is that ok, or should I be doing once...

How soon after you do a water change can you test your water? I know you need to let it mix up some but how soon is too soon?

Posted on an old thread a few days ago about an update on my tank... I talked about the tank running great and how the tank is stocked and fish are doing great. I noticed a couple days ago however that my once really active clown had moved to the back of the overflow box and stayed there all day...

We are getting to the times of big rain and thunderstorms where I live(Utah) and power outages while they don't happen often can sometimes last a pretty long time. We had one last year that lasted about 12 hours..with my freshwater tanks it wasn't a huge problem, but I would imagine with...

Ive got three of these guys in my tank, they are cool and fun to watch but I saw one was nipping at some zoas tonight, is there anything that sinks that won't get sucked into my overflow that I can feed them?

Here is another question I would like to throw out there. I'm trying to figure out what and how often I should be feeding. I work 9-5 Monday's thru Fridays and I want to enjoy my fish, so I have my blues turn on at 11:00 my HOA comes on at 12:00 that goes off at 8:00 and the blues go off at 9...

I bought a school of 4 yesterday and got them in the tank. They started eating and swimming around right away! so cool to watch! I have them in there with a firefish Goby, Clown fish and a Citric Clown Goby. This morning I woke up went to look at the tank and could only find 2 swimming around. I...

After months of buying things and planning and having to build a new stand, I finally got my tank started and wet! Hopefully I can get some pictures up soon. I have a ten gallon running right now, that I will be moving over to the other tank. I got the lights up and running and man there is a...

I just got my light in the mail and I'm kinda confused at what to have turned on when.. This is the light that I bought.. Odyssea Metal Halide System. It comes with about what seems like a billion different bulbs that seem to do different things. I was wondering what lights do what and do I...

So I've got all my equipment that I need to start up my new tank, but after much thought I decided my little old coralife light probably isn't going to cut it for lighting. I've been looking at lights for a good week now and they are dang freaking expensive! I did find one company that makes a...

Well I finally emptied the 56 gallon that I have at my place and decided to go from fresh water after 15 years to try my hand at saltwater. I already have my ten gallon that is doing well and looking forward to transplanting the ten gallon over to the 56. Got most of my parts in for the sump...

Is there anyone out there that has plans or something for building a sump? I've looked everywhere and I could buy one, but it seems like building it would just be cheaper. I've already got a place that I'm buying the Overflow box and Pump from, but other then that I have no idea how to set up or...

I've got one of these running on my 56 gallon planted freshwater tank and they are awesome. I have a ten gallon reef tank set up and I would like to upgrade the light. Right now I just have the normal crappy hood light that came with the tank. One bulb and that's it. How do these work for a tank...
