    First Day with new Forum !

    Nice shots of your tank very appealing. I use photobucket to upload my pics, you should sign up for one and when you want to put the pics on your thread make sure you copy and paste "IMG" on the photobucket pic. Easy to do and your pictures can be alot bigger to show off your reef. All in all...

    Starting a 120 gallon Fish LIST

    Through my experience I have a Niger trigger fish about 2.5 inches and keep him on a steady diet it shouldn't be a problem. Just remember some fish get pretty territorial when they get bigger. Good luck and looking forward to seeing your set up.

    high nitrate levels

    That's good you got more water flow to get any dead areas. I would do one thing at a time so you can find the root of the problem. And you can go from there. On some of my areas that dont get enough water flow i have a turkey stuffer to blow the dead areas to avoid a spike. From the research...

    Hello Reef Frontier!

    Thanks Kirk and I will checkout that book soon. Currently I have a 130gal reef tank with metal halides and VHO's. I am running a Berlin XL skimmer with an iwaki 30rlt pump and a reef devil etss skimmer as well in my 80 gal sump. I have about 12 fish and 20 soft, hard, and nems. Looking to...

    If your tank is 24" high you would want to go for metal halides. But if it's like 18 VHO's is the way to go. If you have the money to get it I say get it but ask yourself is it necessary for "my reef". I know there is a lot of opinions out there and this is mine. I think for a 55 this light...

    New reef questions????

    It is a risk you can take to add live rock and corals at the same time because you are adding a big bio load. You might go through a mini cycle but will go away in no time if you have an established tank. I would do a 10-15 percent water change if you do add them. Goodluck and have fun with...

    Copepods

    Pods means your tank is doing healthy. I have a Mandarin goby and thats what it eats.

    If your keeping a reef I would suggest no more than 24 inch height it is ideal. Currently I have metal halides and VHO I run my lights 6-8 hours a day set on timers. And have a small actnic light for night time. I would suggest don't put too much light cuz it can spurt algae growth. Do some...

    Confussed - So much to learn, where to start

    If you ever think about buying a new set up go on craigslist it is the way to go because you can catch someone leaving the hobby. I would know what you want to keep in your tank and buy a set up to accommodate your livestock or even FO. Good luck and I have two damsels myself.
