    Going from 75 to 125 gallons?

    Would this also work on my nano tank? Going from 12g to 30g?

    Going from 75 to 125 gallons?

    Cool, I was a little concerned that it might go into another cycle. Thanks for the help guys!

    Going from 75 to 125 gallons?

    I'm getting my 125g ready to go but I'm not sure what to do here. I have an established 75g and want to swap everything over to the 125 in a day and use the 75 gallons from the other tank leaving me to add 50 gallons of uncycled water. Is this possible or will I need to cycle the water all over...

    Good deal on a 210 acrylic cube or not?

    No overflow, acrylic looked pretty clean and i believe the acrylic is about 1/2" or so.

    Good deal on a 210 acrylic cube or not?

    I was at a not so local pet store and saw an acrylic cube 48"X48"x20"H with hardly any scratches and a stand for $500 Good price or average? Thanks!

    Mag 7 too small for a 125?

    I know, not too much flow for such a large tank but that's all I have right now and really want to get my new 125 going. The 125 has the Mega-flow overflows built in but I don't know if my little mag 7 will do the trick. The mag 7 would be temporary until I upgrade to a Mag12 or Mag18. Or if...

    Gravel vacuuming

    I thought of some kind of bottom dwelling sand sifter but I don't want to add anything else until the water is perfect. Also afraid to get a sand sifting goby, not sure that he'd make it with the lion in there. I use an asm g2 and it seems to be doing a pretty good job. I was acually thinking...

    Gravel vacuuming

    there is probably 75 lbs or so in there now. I started a thread a couple weeks back called "what's the dumbest thing that you've done" that can probably be the factor here. Basicly, I pulled out about 80% of the LR when I introduced the lion and eel, to give them more swimming room, anyway the...

    Gravel vacuuming

    70G and a 20g sump. There is a med lion and a med eel in there. The tank has been set up since Oct. I feed frozen krill about 4 times per week and do 10g water changes per week.

    Gravel vacuuming

    How many of you gravel vac while doing water changes? I do not do gravel vacs because I have very fine sand that just gets sucked up. I'm wondering if this is why I'm having ammonia problems?

    What's the dumbest thing that you've done?

    I made probably the worlds most idiotic move and didn't even think about it until now. I have a long shallow tank that I was using as a reef for a while until I purchased a fairly large lionfish and eel, then the coral went into a smaller tank and the lion and eel went into the 70 long. When...

    Base rock question

    I have about 100 lbs of base rock that was just sitting outside in a box. I was thinking about adding it to my 70. It has been soaking in water since last night. Would it be ok just to put it in or is there something else that I should do? Thanks!:D

    Man, I have a long one!

    Thanks guys. I really liked the look of the low long tank but I got sick of trying to scrub the scratches clean:doubt:. Next tank is going to be smaller and a little easier to aquascape and smaller size= less exspensive to fill with livestock:D

    Man, I have a long one!

    The tank had a lot of scratches in the front glass, when the waterline was high the water would run down the outside of the front glass and a few other things that I didn't like about it. I have everything in a 12g for now until I upgrade to a little larger tank.

    Overflow causing problem problems

    So it's not the overflow problem at all but rather my lack of water changes. Makes sense, Thanks for the help.

    Overflow causing problem problems

    I have the overflow down as far as it can go and I also have 2 Koralia 4's in the tank. So you guy's would say that the flow going through the sump isn't the problem? All that I have for filteration is an ASM skimmer and sump. Should I invest in another type of filteration? Canister? Right now...

    Overflow causing problem problems

    I have a 70g tank and I'm using a CPR CS50 overflow to syphon water to the sump. My return pump is a Mag7 so I have to turn the ball valve way down to prevent the waterline from getting to high, so the flow coming from my return line is pretty weak. Lately I've noticed that the two fish in the...

    Feather Calupera in display

    I got a few frags from a LFS and one piece had a little feather calupera on it, now it seems to be popping up in a lot of different areas of the display. Is there anything small that eats this stuff?
