    My old tank and new

    Ummm, Im embarressed to say...hehehe, Thats coralline coating the front of the glass... I have to admit I got really discouraged with the tank after the bad started to happen. Right now the only thing Im battling is red slime and coralline algaes. I figured the substrate in the current tank is...

    New substrate for new tank.

    Thanks for your reply Krish, I might have went with the Figi pink if I was able to get it in forty lbs bags but, its looking like Im going with the white which I like too.So you think the Oolite is a better all round choice? I have never used just sand. My Plan is for about a 2" sand bed in the...

    New substrate for new tank.

    Hey all, Im in the process of upgrading from a 15 year old 75g to a 90 megaflow,I know not a big jump but all I had room for... Anyway I dont want the large araganite for a substrate and I was looking at Carribsea original size sand and the Oolite. Can someone tell me the difference between the...

    Thanks guys, The only thing that worries me is having a cycle with all the new sand and tank. Im going to use all the water from the 75 and the 140 lbs of rock.

    New here again.

    Hey all, Its been quite awhile since I have been here. I'm still keeping saltwater but over the last year my 75 gallon has been ravaged by algae's, massive coral die off's and a few fish deaths although all fish were 5 years plus old. I'm now in the process of redoing my tank with a few upgrades...

    Co2 regulator died

    After thinking about this all day Im going to shut it down so I could plumb in the diy second calcium chamber that Im going to make. My only problem is Im not sure how big to make it so its bringing the ph back up. My reactor is a 6.5 inch diameter and the pvc pipe I have is 3 inch. I figure...

    Co2 regulator died

    My regulator selonoid is dying and thankfully it has a three year warrenty.anyway my question is while I send the regulator back should I drain the reactor or just let the water circulate though it. I just replaced the media about two months ago and I guess it would not hurt to let it dry out right?

    CO2 Scrubber?

    My tank used to run consistantly under 8.0 ph until I read here about running an airline to the outside to let the skimmer bring in fresh air... The tank is at a steady 8.2 to 8.3 now and the best part is it only cost me $3 at my local home improvement store and a 1/2 hole to the outside....

    Looking to change lighting

    Thanks guys! Would that not be even more extreme than the lighting I have now? I have 4 10k, 3 420nm actinic and one 25/75which makes my tank very white and washed colors but growth is very good even with the oregon tort I have.What would be a good light to start with? I was looking at the 15k...

    Looking to change lighting

    I have a older Nova extreme 8 x 54 watt t5 unit and Im looking at metal halide for the next light. This unit has a single reflector for all 8 lights and is working well as I have acros to leathers in my tank. I'm looking at the Blueline dual e-ballast and Im not sure of the wattage I should go...

    Red slime remover

    1. Carbon does not have to be removed. 2. ABSOLUTELY... or turned down as far as it will go. 3. You can if you want to but its not necessary. Remember turn down the skimmer or you will have a problem.

    What are these things?

    No spiral ones, If I have to I will remove all the rock in the tank but that will be useless unless I can get them off of the acro's they are everywhere. Man this could ruin this tank...
