Smitty is right. although they are small, they still have a good current flow. by getting 2 and placing them on opposite sides you can have an alternating current so it gives it the natural current flow that fish and coral like and i dont know but maybe u can stick the Koralia somewhere near the...

If you see in the picture i posted, u can see that i have 2 red pieces of rock. at the store i was told that its called volcanic rock and they said that it should be fine in my tank but now ive learned that it has iron in it. others say that the it all depend on the color the darker the better...

Thank you guys so much!

Thanks again everyone, you guys have gave me alot of advice that makes sense. Ill get back to you guys on more updates on my reef tank.

ive notice that the stand on my tank is breaking, and im sure ill have to take my tank apart and fix the stand. would it be ok to save the water, sand and the live rock on containers? the process of fixing the stand should take me less than 2 hours, would it be ok to place everything back in...

Your from Illinois? where do you live? if you've been there recently i dont know if you seen a guy that works there that has a tattoo sleeve on his right arm, he's the one that was giving us some info. he seem like he know his stuff but again they want to make money haha.

haha thanks, they're pretty fast. :frustrat:

would you recommend getting the fish out now that it wouldnt be so hard than later when i have more rock where they could hide and just add one uncooked shrimp?

sounds good! and the store i go to is called Aquatica its in tinley park, Illinois. they are really knowledgeable about everything. i went there just to look at fish and ended up going out of there with alot of information that was very vital for me to know.

hahaha i cant wait to go broke and have fun doing it!

Once im done with a full cycle and perhaps have the aquarium mature ill get those damsels out of there, ive heard nothing but bad things about them. the place i bought them, i was told that they r just starter fish and i could have pick from another kind but i just thought they were cool looking...

ill definitively look into diy overflow boxes and skimmers. again i pretty much spend more then i was planning on and everything I bough. I've done research to find the cheapest of everything and so far its been cheap but not too cheap haha. I've knew that i was gonna be spending money i just...

Yea I was just reading about DIY and since I'm really short on money $15 sounds great. Do you have a link or do u have a tutorial to where I can make one like yourself? I also seen a diy protein skimmer but I rather buy one just to know it'll work fine.

Makes sense. About.10 minutes ago a friend of mine gave me the base of a sump and now I'm really considering using a sump system. I would just have to get and overflow box and an extra pump that will push water back to the tank right?

Thank you everyone! Everyone's comments were very helpful. i will invest in RO/DI filter and a good HOD skimmer since i dont have a sump system. if in the future i go with a sump system can i still use the HOB skimmer or will i have to get another one? here is a picture of what i have so far...

Im starting a 55 gallon reef tank and over the past 2 weeks ive been hearing alot of info on how i should do it and the more i research online the more one contradicts another. This is what i have: - 1 emperor 400 filter - the amount of salt recommended for a 55 gallon tank - about 30...
