    gonna start a 55 gallon

    Oh and with the HOT canister it is super easy to change/clean media. I clean it every week and change my media at that time as well.

    gonna start a 55 gallon

    I had my original tank up & running for almost 2 years with a canister filter set up just like my current tank but with the filter on the floor instead of hang on. Then I wanted bigger so I upgraded to a 92 gallon corner with overflows and sump & all the fixins. I regretted it more than...

    3 Spot Damsel Trying to Host My RBTA???

    Thanks everyone! I had no idea that damsels & clowns were related! My African Clown does not mind at all when the damsel hangs out in her RBTA during the day because she only sleeps in it at night. During the day her & her mate are living in & trying to feed my gonopora. I thought it would have...

    gonna start a 55 gallon

    I currently have a 55 gallon up & running. I used to have a larger tank with sump and all the fixins but I do not use a sump now. My tank has 3 pumps for circulation, a HOT Magnum Canister filter that I only run at night, a Backpack Skimmer & my lighting is 2 x 175 watt metal halides, 2 x 95...

    3 Spot Damsel Trying to Host My RBTA???

    OK, so I have a medium size RBTA that hosts my African Clown female at night (her & the male have been hosting my poor gonipora during the day - with no ill affects thank goodness). I have a 3 spot damsel that has been showing the RBTA some strange attention during the last couple of days. It...

    LED Lighting - Need feedback on brands!

    So, I have decided to go with my old favorite and use metal halides. I am getting the Current Sunpod 2x250watt 36" one. This will be way more than I need for my 55gallon but I do not have to run both hallides if I do not want to. Also, at least this way I know I can safely grow sps. Anyone have...

    LED Lighting - Need feedback on brands!

    Thanks! I'm gonna call them and ask some questions today. I'm not really a DIY kinda girl. I would be if I was technically inclined at all but anything I made would probably burn my house down!

    LED Lighting - Need feedback on brands!

    The ones I have found called SkyLED are blue, white & red. They look and sound really good, LOTS of LEDs in each unit & the right specs but I still want to get anyones opinion on them. They are made in China I think & relatively new so I have found no customer comments. Any help would be...

    Bad Coral Banded Shrimp... Help!

    My CBS is pretty big, I would guess at least 3 inches from claw to claw (wingspan) & at least 2 inches from head to tail. I know he eats well. He comes running as soon as I put food in the tank. He is pretty fast. I have been watching him today & I have seen him sit under my big RBTA & try to...

    Bad Coral Banded Shrimp... Help!

    OK, so I have had all my fish, crabs & shrimp for over 2 years. Made the switch from a 55 gallon to my 92 gallon corner & never added any new fish. All my fish have been healthy & happy & none have ever died. Then 4 months ago I added a pistol shrimp & goby, a couple more cleaner shrimp & a big...

    Help with tank chemistry

    LOL, it is like everyone is speaking a foreign language. I will take my water to a fish store for testing. I have been dosing with calcium sups. At first I was dosing with C-balance until I realized it raises Alk too, then I switched to one that only raises the calcium. My fish are happy, fat &...

    Help with tank chemistry

    OK, so I have set up my 92 gallon corner. Used mostly new water & some water from my old tank. Used mostly new live sand with just a couple cups of my old sand to seed. Used all the LR from my old tank. Got a sump w/skimmer, LR in the sump & sand & chaeto. It was up & running without livestock...
