    seio size ?

    I am starting my sps tank, which will actually house a little more than SPS:rolleyes: and need some opinions for a standard 125g tank. I have some good flow now, but need a little more to keep all spots in the tank including rockwork clean, but just to the point where I do not have any...

    new frags from RM

    Ahh all are doing great my friend. Polpy extension and color still look good. I don't know if I mentioned it above, but those pics were taken literally right after I set the last frag in place. I am suppose to mount them today, but may have to wait until this weekend for more time to spend...

    new coral placement help needed

    Cool, but how would one go about breaking it off of the rock? And what if it was attched to a rock you could not take out of your tank with out destroying your aquascaping? They are all looking sooo good with great polyp extension, except for the one little guy, but it still has the color:D...

    filtersock cleaning

    OK great, understood. What about the fitment issue I mentioned? How do you secure one to line lines output without it blowing off? Anything else I should know before using one...or three in my case? Thanks Again, MH

    filtersock cleaning

    digging up old thread If you have time and do not mind could you ellaberate on this comment? I want to order for my return lines and skimmer outlet mainly for micro bubbles, but have never used nor needed one until now. I am also curious about how to secure to the lines as they are no more...

    new coral placement help needed

    much appreciated!! When you say lighter and darker in color, do you mean lighter = less color..or?...and darker = brown, or more color? Also when you said high flow and current is this not one in the same or do they differ? Or did you mean high light and current? Also these frags are...

    new coral placement help needed

    This is my first attempt at this level of coral. I am no rookie, but cannot honestly say I am in my own territtory. I have been reading these sites for about a month or so in regards to SPS..years on other stuff:) I guess after seeing some of the SPS tanks around here I am hooked.:lol...

    new frags from RM

    Thanks All, those pics were also only taken with 1 250W10K XM so I am wondering if they will look any different under all of my lights. I just posted a new topic for help on placement of these if anyone is interested. MH

    new frags, one has black on the bottom..not white?

    I would, but that would void the 4-5 day guarantee from them: "Do NOT mount frags when they arrive. They must acclimate to your system first or they will RTN. After 4-5 days, you may mount the frags. If frags are mounted prior to the 4-5 day acclimation period, our guarantee does not...

    new frags from RM

    Here you go. I did not stop any pumps, so the pics could probably be better. I am going to try and match the name from what I ordered to what I believe is the correct frag, but this is my very first time with SPS, except for the one A. Millepora I got here in town last week, so don't hold me to...

    new frags, one has black on the bottom..not white?

    thanks again I agree with you 100% and will call Chris/Kristine on Monday. I can't wait until my lights come on:D They recommended the first day no lights:rolleyes: , so I am very anxious to see under my lighting. Thanks Again, MH

    new frags, one has black on the bottom..not white?

    The frag is in the tank so I cannot get a pic, but the underneath of the frag, where it was cut, is the part that is dark. All of the rest were bright white. Any ideas? Thanks, MH

    new frags, one has black on the bottom..not white?

    Just received my frags from reefermadness and they all look good except maybe one....? All of the frags have a white base where they have been cut, except this one. It appears to be black. Please let me know if this is normal or not....I am leaning towards not:( They have about a 1/2 hour...

    AutoTopOff & issue with the water level remaining stable

    No bubble trap, and a lot of flow can carry bubbles very far:( and I have 5 baffles...3 after the inlet and two before the return with skimmer in the middle. After thinking about it I may just reverse the flow in my sump so the water would go through 3 baffles instead of 2 before being...

    AutoTopOff & issue with the water level remaining stable

    thanks! Thanks, I knew you guys would say that:lol: I will have to remove, but am worried about the filter sock as I have never used one in worries that it may clog and my tank overflows:mad: But I am now seeing how many people are using them...so where can I order or make? About the...

    AutoTopOff & issue with the water level remaining stable

    I hope this won't be too long, but I have to explain the setup so you can offer help if possible. Basically my sump is an old standard 55 AGA. Water drains into the left side and feeds to the right side through a set of baffles and is returned to the tank. Pretty basic. The problem is the...

    Flow for SPS in 75g

    Thanks for the welcome. I have thought about the loss of flow and would compensate with a 1 size larger then needed pump. It will be interesting to say the least. If that didn't work I do have another idea, but will wait to see. Have you decided on what you will do? MH

    Flow for SPS in 75g

    I am glad I found this post, as this is the exact thing I am doing. I have already upgraded my 75(6 year old tank) to a 125 with a 55g sump below, upgraded to a Euro-Reef rs135, and picked up a 2x 250 PFO MH setup to add to my existing 2x 175 PFO MH setup:cool: I gave up my tonga yellow leather...
