    new to reeding, lighting help. and more.

    Yep at it's simplest you can do a reef tank with water, live rock and a powerhead to move water around. This isn't ideal for many reasons but it is the basis of your filtration. Its more common to use filter media to grab particulate matter, a protein skimmer to reduce bioload, and a refugium...

    Tank Transport Help

    Zipcar (or whatever it is called now) also rents trucks, but I'm pretty sure you get owned by not being able to dropoff in a different location.

    Bought an established tank, have a few questions

    Oh and is there any way to get a fish out of your tank that you don't want? My best guess is some type of goby based on http://fins.actwin.com/species/index.php. He looks pretty much entirely white. Does anyone have a better site for reef species IDing?

    Bought an established tank, have a few questions

    I'm trying to avoid an external sump for now. I may look into a HOB fuge. Should I run some chaeto in the DT for a while until I get the water quality up? Is it bad to remove a macro from the system all at once? GFO = Granular Ferric Oxide? I want to see what I can do biologically before I...

    Bought an established tank, have a few questions

    Ok, do after 3-4 months of reading I finally got a sw tank. I got a biocube 29 AIO that has been running for about a year. I got it home 2 days ago after a pretty straightforward move. It has a decent amount of green hair algae that the previous owner said was due to being lazy for the last...

    brittle stars

    Maybe they were rioting. Like in Thailand. Are you positive on your ID? Brittle stars are helpful. How many do you think you have?

    Need some help on picking out a cleanup crew

    A few turbo snails are good too. They can get big and knock stuff over though

    Return pumps

    Do you mean if you are trying to pump water out of the sump faster than the overflow will refill it?

    Power Outage

    A prius makes a great emergency generator :). There was an article a few years ago that ran his house for a few days on a quarter tank of gas by hooking up an inverter to deep cycle battery on it. Fridge, furnace, tv, etc. It was damn impressive and more efficient than comparable purpose built...

    My 25 gallon cube w/ led light

    wow that is a metric ****-ton of LEDs for that tank. What level are you running them at? Did you get your hands on a PAR meter? Did you go with the warmer K temp mainly to test the growth?

    My 25 gallon cube w/ led light

    How many LEDs? 3W? Even # of RB & CW?

    nano livestock

    No real limit to corals. Crowding can be a problem w corals with sweeper tentacles. With enough sps calcium will not keep up just from water changes so you may need to dose calcium.

    nano livestock

    Stock lighting is usually not good enough for clams, SPS, nems. With upgraded lights bioload and size are your main concerns
