    Is this enough filtration?

    Here is the test kit I have which seems to be a standard. http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+4345+4452&pcatid=4452 I do use Oceanic Salt. I read from this site is was one of the best.

    Is this enough filtration?

    On my HOB filter, I have a sponge/bio media/ceramic discs. I clean this once a week wether it looks dirty or not just to keep things in balance, same with the skimmer, sometimes twice a week on that. My test kit is the standard all in one kit (ammonia/nitrite/nitrite/ph). I am also using a...

    Is this enough filtration?

    Hello Reefers, I have a AquaClear 70 HOB filter and a Remora protein skimmer on my 50 gallon reef. My tank seems very stable so far (6 months old). Is this enough? I do weekly water test and everything comes out great. However, I do have a live sand base and very hard to get in there with a...

    Water change and skimmer

    I do a 10% water change on my 50 gallon reef once a week (not to mention the gallon per day of RO water I use to top off due to evaporation). My reef is stable for the past 6 months now. No loss in life, only lost one anemone. My water change is with 100% RO water and Oceanic Salt. ReefJeff

    Finnex T-5 Light Enough?

    Hello Reefers, I have a Finnex 36" T-5 fixture that holds 4-39w bulbs. In a previous post regarding the conditions of my anemones, it was suggested to change bulbs for my reef and anemones. My main question is, is this fixture enough for the anemones or do I need to invest in a halide fixture...

    Are my Anemones Dying?

    Wow, thank you guys for all your support and opinions. I am always learning something at this website and this thread is no exception. A lot of controversy as to what to test for and I like it. Well my anemones have not changed colors only they have shrunk. I am going to take some water...

    Are my Anemones Dying?

    I have about 70 lbs of live rock, live sand bottom. I change about 10% once a week. I have lots of soft corals that seem to be growing nicely especially my Pom-Pom corals. I have very little algae in the tank except for the coralline algae (red/purple). It is not over powering the tank, just on...

    Can Anyone Identify This?

    Thank you! Is it dangerous for my reef? Better yet for my Xenia? ReefJeff

    Can Anyone Identify This?

    Hello Reefers, Next to my Pom-Pom coral is something new growing below the Pom-Pom coral of the same color. Is this part of the Pom-Pom? Reason I ask is, I have another rock covered with Pom-Pom's and this is not attached to that rock. Thank you, ReefJeff

    Pair of Maroon Clowns Plus 1

    Here is another question. The pair are clearing away the sand on the bottom of the tank where the anemone is, should I put something in the tank like a piece of slate? or something for them to lay eggs on if that is the case of what they are preparing for? Thanks, ReefJeff

    Placement of Powerheads in a 50 gal Reef?

    Thank you for the advice! I believe the output is good as I bought this setup from a person who really knew about reef tanks. I just wanted to make sure that my placement was good because I was not sure exactly how water should flow in a reef tank, in one direction, or in 2 directions. Thank...

    Pair of Maroon Clowns Plus 1

    Hello, I have a 50 gal reef and just aquired a mated pair of maroon clowns. The problem is, I already had a male (smaller) maroon clown that came with the tank. Will the pair breed with him in the tank? The two males seem to fight over her, but she appears dedicated to her original mate. Will...

    Placement of Powerheads in a 50 gal Reef?

    Hello, I have 4 powerheads in my new 50 gal reef tank and was wondering what would be a good placement for them? I do have liverock and corals (not many, but a start with a brain coral, a few pom-pom corals and 3 anemones), all at different levels in the tank. Right now I have 1 powerhead on...
