    No more nems in the reef tank!

    I have 2 bta's and they stay put. I guess it's just the luck of the draw.

    Need some help the weekend of October 1st and 2nd

    Easiest way to carry the tank especially down those stairs and nightmare of a driveway is to use nylon straps. When I moved my 3/4" thick glass 230 gallon tank into my place I used 4" nylon truck tie down straps. Measure them to the right height so when you are standing straight up the tank will...

    Cloudy water

    Are you running filter floss or foam in your eheim? If so how often do you clean or replace it? That can turn into a big nitrate trap. Most people run them w/o foam or floss. Also I would never run tap water. RO/DI only. I would fire your lfs. They are not helping. You have found the best place...

    Cloudy water

    I'm not sure on the cloudiness. Are you running carbon? If not I would do so asap. Also on a 30g you shouldn't add 3 fish all at once. Too much added bio-load all at once. What do you have for liverock and filtration? Do you have a skimmer? are you running ro/di water?

    new to saltwater and inherited a mess!

    Constant water movement yes- filters not really. You will want a sump (probably) that will house your skimmer and return pump. Your return pump should be pushing 1100-2000 gph and be on 24/7. You will also have a couple powerheads in your tank running 24/7 unless you have them on a wavemaker...

    new to saltwater and inherited a mess!

    I agree with what everyone's said. One more thing make sure you run RO/DI water in it!! Even for make up water. If you don't do this you will have terrible green hair algae.

    To much weight on the floor?

    Well you'd be better off going perpendicular to your joists. I think you should be fine. I have a 230 gallon glass tank in my front room on the second story. I have 2x12's that are 12" oc and my tank is perp to them so I'm catching 5 joists. How much room do you have in your crawl space? Bracing...
