    What do you recommend ~ Calcium Reactors?!

    Hey I'm looking for a good calcium reactor without breaking the bank. I currently have a 55g but I'm sure I will be upgrading to a 125 or 180 in the future, hence I would be looking for one that would be compatible with the larger tanks once I've moved up. Can some you out there give me some...

    Natural Sea Water

    The water may be "crystal clear" but you also may not be able to see contaminates, pollutants, pesticides, chemicals, that have seeped into the water, I wouldn't recommend using it, too much risk of killing your tank inhabitants.

    Anyone else use Brute 32 gallon buckets?

    I don't have room for them but would use probably bigger for sump, refugium, frag propagation, if I had the room!

    Where to buy base rock in WA

    Check the LFS, they usually have some rock that's cheaper than their display rock.

    My coralline algae too

    Well you have to have some coralline to spread the growth around your tank, and a constant high calcium level. If you have those two things, your tank should be covered in coralline in a couple months.

    LOOKY WHAT I FOUND?! Mantis Shrimp

    Hey all, I just pulled what I believe to be ( 90% sure) a mantis shrimp out of my tank, he's burgundy colored and only about 3/4" long. I know that these guys aren't very good tank mates for fish and coral, what are the pros and cons of having it, I'm still trying to decide what to do with it?!!!

    Depends on the shrimp, I believe cleaner shrimp are reef safe.

    quick Bare Bottom Question

    The reason that you would want to put something under the rock is because of the shatter factor. An accidental drop or tumble of a rock could break the bottom of your tank causing a bunch of problems. I would go for the eggcrate myself.

    i am new and need a lot of help.....

    Mandarins are very picky eaters, most of the time they will NOT accept unnatural foods, only copepods, and even without the six line wrasse, a tank of your size would not be able to consistantly produce enough copepods to keep the mandarin alive, he would eventually starve to death. Please...

    what is the truth

    I would put plywood to distribute the weight more evenly on such large and heavy (filled with water) tank. 3/4" would be best.

    New Reef tank!

    Great start, just try to remember, this hobby takes alot of patience. About your equipment: 1. Get rid of the wet/dry, it will only become a nitrate trap. Put a filter sock on the end of your overflow to catch debrit. 2. Try to shoot for about 10X the tank capacity for circulation...
