    Heating issues already!

    I would not put them blowing straight down unless you have lids over your aquarium to keep the dust out or you are just going to blow every bit of the debri in your home right into the tank causing it to get the water filthy dirty. I would atleast put it blowing along the top from the side and...

    Heating issues already!

    I noticed after I just posted the last thread that you have external pumps so scratch that idea. I also notice your lighting system do you have fans on it or some way to let the heat rise away from your tank. What if you had a couple of holes in your cannopy to let off heat.

    Heating issues already!

    How long are you running your lights? Maybe you should have them to turn off for a couple of hours in the daytime or maybe switch the time for them to come on at night instead. You could possibly be running them to long. I have a 240 gallon tank and I do not even use a chiller and it stays...

    Phosphate high in 240 gallon tank

    I have a 240 gallon tank and I had someone to check my water and My phosphate was really high so I did a 90 gallon water change but he suggested that I get a phosban reactor to run on the system. So I checked on a system and they are rated for up to 150 gallon tanks only. Is this enough or do...

    Stingray reef

    cool tank! How many gallons is just your tank? I hope you live next to the ocean to have that much live rock and corals because I would hate to think how much you have invested in this system. I have only a 240 gallon with a 40 gallon sump and 30 gallon fuge and I have an arm and leg invested...

    How can I get clearer water in my tank

    I have notice that alot of the cloudiness is really fine bubbles coming from my returns. I just have to figure out what is causing this to do that. It seems like that it is always something with a aquarium that requires something else or you attention. I set this tank up and I did not know...
