Ok, so I got a new tank and its 200 gal its a 72in x 24in x 28in. I am not sure how I should do the overflow and how much flow should be from the overflow box to the sump. I will be putting a 55gal sump on this tank as well. I am also looking at how diameter of pipe I should use. Thanks for the...

So i have had my two clown fish for about a year now and they haven't seem to grow at all. They seem to be the same size as when I brought them home. They are the only fish in my 55gal. Any help is appreciated.

Looking to get a bigger tank maybe something 150-250 gals. What has everyone used to get acrylic tanks. I live in NJ so if its something close that would be awesome. Been looking on CL but they all seem either way to expensive or too dilapidated. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am not sure if I should get a tank controller (Apex) or just upgrade my tank to a bigger tank. Would just like some feedback on the subject. Right now I have a 55gal and no sump.

Was wondering if anyone is running any tank controllers and which ones. I am thinking about getting one, (well I really really want one) it would just make things a lot easier. I been looking at the Neptune Systems Apex, it seems to have all the bells and whistles and really nice online interface.

Ok, so I went away for a long weekend and thought my tank would be fine but I was wrong. The holding bucket that kept my fresh water for mixing decided to spring a leek and dump all 32 gals onto my floor. And I have carpet, so now everything is soaked and I need to replace the carpet. Is there...

I had my light for about 6 months now and all the sudden today, two of my white lights whent out and a blue. I am not sure which bulbs to replace them with. The ficture that I bought awhile ago is the same as this one on e-bay...

Hey I been seeing this plant grow slowly for the past 6 to 7 months in my tank and I think its Halimeda which is good but... this thing has sprouted a leaf a day and after reading all the articles they say that Halimeda is to grow very slowly. In just a day it sprouted two new leafs and they are...

I am looking into getting a sump and been looking at certain overflows. I was wondering if anyone out there can recommend one that is not noisy and not too highly priced. It will feed a 20 to 30 gal sump depending on if I can fit it under my stand. Any help will be appreciated.

Ok so I purchased two clown fish from the LFS. Its been two days, and they are not feeding. I hsve tried evrrything brine shrimp frozen and freeze dried, mytis shrimp, bloodworms. Should I be woried that they are not feeding? Also they seem to be acting weird one goes to the corner on ine side...

OK so my tank was doing awsome about a week and a half ago everything seemed to be doing fine. But all the sudden I have this either brown alge blume or dimatoms all over my tank. I did put in a cleaning crew from reefcleaners about a week ago, and everything that I put in as soon as I put it in...

Is there such thing as too much flow in a tank? I have a 55 gal standard and I have too 1300gph pumps in at either ends of my tank. The trun around rate is 2600gph in the tank total, would that be too much flow? I know people say they like to see at least 20 (totalgph/gals) well mine is at 47...

So I got these two guys from a mystery purchase. I am not sure what they are maybe someone could help my out. It looks like the bigger one is bleached out and its looked like that since I got it. If I knew what it was I would be better to help it. Thanks for any help.

I have no idea what these things are, I will try to describe them as much as I can. They seem to start out as a jellyfish type thing that sometimes suck to the glass and seem to have tenticals. They I see some swimming around in the water column. Then they seem to just sit on the sand bed. I...

Found this thing swimming in my tank at night just liked to wiggle in the water column all night. I just want to take him out if hes bad, but don't want to take something out that is good. It almost looks like a pipefish, but I have no idea how a pipefish would have gotten in there, any help...

Ok so I have had my tank up and running for about two months now and I have started to add some corals. I just bought a bunch of new test kits to test for Cal and KH. I tested last night and this is what I got: Nitrate - 0 ppm Nitrite - 0 ppm Ammonia - 0 ppm :death: Cal - 600 ppm :death: KH -...

I just bought a light and it is 324W so that would be about 6 watts per gallon is that too much light?

So today looking at my tank and doing my weekly water tests I noticed that I have an small glass anemone :pooh:. I took a picture of it because maybe someone can tell me its not one, but when I went to poke it with something it went back into the rock. So two questions should I get some...

Hey anyone know of any LFS in NJ, the closest one that I can find is 2hr away in PA. :frustrat:
