New to the choral game and need some help with some IDs. First is part of a large formation i fragged into smaller groups, just listed as"polyps" at the LFS. I couldn't pass up 40+ heads for $35, have another dozen or so more popping up after 2 weeks in my tank. The single zoa in the bottom...

So know there are a TON of LED threads on here, but decided on posting one up specific for my tank. Tank is a 6 month old mixed reef in its infancy, have some mushroom, buttons, 2 toadstool frags and a few damsel and chromi. Dimensions are 60"L x 20"W x 24"T. Currently running 3x 80W T5HO (Figi...

I keep my tank around 79°. I live in the desert so this summer will be the real test. Light wise i run 3x 80w T5HO and 3x LED flood in DT and Ebay LED panel for fuge. Heater is on a timer to counter act the heat from the T5s. For cooling i have a 6" desk fan in the hood in a back corner angled...

I just did a DIY sump build for my 120g. I'm at work on my phone so im not sure how to add a link to my build. I think its still pretty close to the top in the DIY section. Sumps are nice due to the fact that you can hide just about everything in them under the tank and out of site (skimmer...

Anyone used this before, don't trust my lfs too much and this was recommended as a sub for dry rock...

Sump is finally done and in. Feel behind this week with updates but here's the final results 1) Old versus New, just a little bigger... 2) Refinished the inside with some light grey marine epoxy my brother in law had left over. It's actually a lot lighter in person. Sump sits on layer of...

On a side note, anyone running an ASM skimmer? If so how deep? Cant seem to find a recommended depth anywhere....

Doing my best to keep everyone updated on the build. Painted the refugium divider to keep light just in the fuge, sealed everything up. Havent decided yet if i am going to put the LR/BT/intake section in or just have the intake into a skimmer/LR area... Letting what i have cure while I'm on duty...

If you are still looking at getting rid of some, im interested. Just let me know how much for them shipped to SoCal...

Update: all taped off, cleaned, waiting for glass before doing a re seal and baffle placement. You wouldnt believe the mission i have had to go on to try and find 1/4" glass... Anyone know about using a HOB overflow box with Bean drain system? I want to run the Bean but dont want to drain the...

So I decided that I am unhappy with my current sump for my 125g. It is a 30g with ASM Skimmer->DSB->Polly fiber/Chem(as needed)->Return. I decided to go the DIY way, no funds for a $300-600 sump. I have already had a few attempts at building sumps before. Built one for a 35g freshwater and one...

With my API test it's colored between 0 and .25. Doesn't match 0, doesn't match .25....

Acquired a 125g with 30g sump. Currently runs intake with skimmer-> dsb/miracle mud section with some live rock-> poly filter-> return with purigen and carbon reactors (not always running). Tank has 2-3 inch sand bed with somewhere between 90-100 pounds live rock and cleanup crew from...

Looking at adding probably 100 lbs of rock to the setup. If i go dry rock (price is nicer than LR) how long should i let it seed from the current LR before i add livestock? Any problems with adding different LR to what i have? What's the opinion on carbon/purigen/phosbate reactors?

New to the saltwater world but not to aquariums in general, have a 20g freshwater live plant tank that's been up for 2+ years now. I just got ahold of a 135g/40g mud sump, complete established setup. Posting this here to see how many mistakes I've made so far...:frustrat: It's 4-5 years...
