Since these have been out for almost 6 months I was wondering how everyone has theirs set up. I was brand new to reefing when I set my tank up in Sept so didn't have any experience with lighting. Wanting to get mine set for maximum benefit. My tank is 72long x 21deep x 27wide. I've got 3...

I've decided it's time for me to upgrade my camera. What brand / model of camera do any of you use that will give you great tank shots?

Hopefully within the next two weeks I'll have my tank ready to fill (175g). I've got 150lb of eco rock from BRS to go in the tank. I had also been planning to buy 30-40lb of live rock at the LFS. I've got 30lb of rock in my 29g that's been running for about 5 mths. Question is...if I move the...

I noticed today that the temp in my 28g nano was up to 82 or 83. I set the A/C to 82 during the day while I'm gone. Is that too warm for corals? I've got a hammer, yellow polyps and clove polyps. The hammer and yellows don't seem to be thriving. They took a hit about a month ago when I...

I ordered a 175g Pro from Deep Sea Aquatics yesterday! Current plan is to put it in my spare bedroom that for the last 3 yrs has been more of a storage / junk room. It actually backs up to the living room wall where my current tank is. I've always wanted to do it so now I am...I'm going to...

On Wed I noticed all my corals not looking too great. I checked and everything was at 0. What I hadn't noticed was the evaporation in just 3 days time. SG was 1.027 or 028. I quickly added RO water to get it back down. Will this permanently damage soft corals? The hammer was almost...

Well, my tank seems to be running very well so far. This past weekend I added a Pink Hammer and a 2nd clown (thankfully the two are getting along great). The clove polyp now has 6 runners or whatever you call them. One has attached to the main rock that I put the frag on. Not sure what do to...

I've got a 28g biocube with 2 clowns, a dzn hermits, 5 of the snails that burrow in the sane and have tube that stick up, 3 peppermints and 3 emerald crabs. I've been feeding once a day and feed about 1/4 of the frozen cube. On another thread someone suggested the hermits may be either eating...

has anyone ever had hermit crabs eat polyps? I'd originally thought my turbo snails were crawling over my yellow and clove polyps and knocking them loose. Out of two dozen yellows I've only got 5 left. Now the colony of clove's that had 3 or 4 dzn now have a blank spot on the rock right in...

I'm starting to get little round white spots in the tank. Most are around the edges of the overflow, the rest are on mostly vertical surfaces of the rock and even a few on two turbo snails. Is this some kind of coraline algae or a bug? I couldn't get a clear closeup of the ones on the rock...

One of my turbo snails constantly crawls over the rock my yellow polyps are on. The last week or so I've noticed their number dwindling. Do turbo snails eat polyps or do you think since it's crawling over them they're getting dislodged? I never see my emerald crabs near them or any of the...

I'm not sure if what I'm seeing are micro bubbles or not. The tank looks cloudy all the time, you can see fine particles moving in the currents. When I look at the water in the filter area, all chambers have crystal clear water. The pumps are submerged with at least 1" of water above the...

What's the most number of fish that's safe to keep in a 28g nano cube? I've got 26lb of live rock and the usual CUC. I bought a clown and small colony of yellow polyps. The guy at the store said he'd only do one fish. I'd originally planned on doing 2 or 3 along with several different corals.

So...I've decided to convert my 125g planted tank. I think the first two things I'm going to work on are lighting and sump. My questions are: 1. Which is best? Hooded or non hooded tank? I've got to figure out how to mount the lights. I'm planning on getting two 20" heat sinks with two set...

I'm assuming it is but wanted to make sure just in case. Is RODI waste water ok to drink?

I'm setting up my first saltwater tank (28g nano cube). I added live sand last Sunday and went back to pick up the rock yesterday. After the guy had pulled out 16lbs and compared that amount of rock to their 28g display tank he thought 30lbs of rock was going to be way too much and would...
