wow everything is looking absolutely amazing. all that hard work is paying off.
i am debating on starting up my very first attempt on a nano and am trying to get all the details i can on the exact process for this. all i have ever done previously are 40 gallons plus. so alittle...
Wow! I knew I had been away for awhile but I guess I didn't know exactly how long. The new set up and corals are looking AMAZING. congrats on getting everything finally up an running. How's life been?
hmm that is something i hadnt thought about. so it might take some serious calculating to see if head pressure can be matched. hmm food for reefing.
so any other opinions on this besides dick's? i respect it dont get me wrong and will probably follow his advise just curious what others might think too
your more than welcome. i still list myself as a newbie though i have been doing tanks since i was 8 and have about 1 1/2 yrs into sw so i know where u are at. it all seems overwhelming. dont feel...
You should look into mushrooms, leathers, green star polyps, yellow polyps, might look at euphyillia( don't quote my spelling on that one) though they are very aggressive but I like carmie like the...
They saying is the only fast thing to happen in a reef tank is disaster TYPICALLY caused by the reefer. I have recently gotten back into this hobby and that is the one thin I remind myself everyday...
Yeah leaks were and always are something I think about. I have looked at some overflow boxes and they seem good but I ear alot that no matter how much you spend they leak. So that's why I was...
so i am trying to think up a method of running a sump. dont have a drilled tank and dont have the option at this moment to get one. and i dont wanna do overflow boxes cause no matter how much you...
My opinion can probably be used as far as someone can throw an elephant. I personally don't own one but have done alittle bit of research on them and in my opinion your borderline on enough light....
i think you have it exactly right. they preach and preach dont cut corners on your skimmer so we see a skimmer priced for 200 300 500+ and say to ourselves" oh my system is gonna suck if i dont spend...
what do you spot feed and when exactly do you do it? this one is new to me and what i have read about them i am doing but i like the advise i get from people who own then versus some internet article.
sorry to hear about the crash. i just got done moving my tank about 1 month ago and have been really stressed since then making sure that everything is still going to recover from the move but so far...
Carmie should I put it in direct flow or something more indirect?
What is the readings of your nitrites and nitrates?
what are your water parameters? how long has it been set up? what is your overall plan for this tank?
so whats the census on qt time?
just got my aqua c remora pro and all seems to be well. only been up running 3 days and i am already pulling skimmate out. just trying to dial it in at this point for a dryer skimmate but all in all...
and i do really like the look of those thanks. i think the upgrades of my lights have ticked off my yellow wrasse. he hasnt been seen in a couple days. checked the floor and no sign but that might...

Where in the world did this king kong figurine come from and I just have to know the story behind it all. Please share
So I have been traveling to every lfs around me, I have been looking at others tanks, looking through general searches on google, etc etc and I am at a loss for another fish to add. I have a yellow...
so i got home from work today to see my culprit out in the wide open. it posed for a couple pics then left the scene again. so here are some better ones. still anyone any ideas? still kinda nervous...
your probably gonna have to make a trap. either that or single him down to a rock and qt that rock and try to get him out.
Apparently it is " I found this wierd thing in my tank " week. Atleast I am not the only one haha
no its not a sponge cause it started out ontop of this rock and i tracked him once he left the light to this spot. havent seen him again yet, still hoping to see him again. and to me it was very...
you got it exactly i did all kinds of searches looking for pictures of something like it. and of course now it is no where to been seen in my tank. luckily i got this one. dont know where it came...
so i turned on my lights after upsetting everything with a water change yesterday and found this. i know its a bad picture and hard to see but it ran away after the lights came on....
v i am sorry but i am lost by your reply. i am asking about my own setup. i am wanting to drop my hob filter and do maybe a hob refuge. dont have the space to upgrade right now to a drilled tank is...
So really more dependent on the lr than the sand itself? So up my lbs of lr to 50 or so and should be able to drop my hob filter is what I am getting from this right? Thanks for your help carmie
dick how much would the 36inch 6 bulb fixture be?
What would be defined as enough sand and rock? So far I have about 40 lbs of ls and 25 lbs of lr and plan on adding more rock too.
Second questionto follow my already million others. If I did a hang on the back style refugium can I drop my hob filter system? I went with a 4.5 to 5 inch dsb after i relocated the tank and was just...
I am looking for a hang on back skimmer and have been looking and looking and have found more and more without alot of headway into the area of finding a good one. I don't wanna spend 400+ on one but...
Dick what kinda lights you running on your tank lately?
thank you all soo much. i am able to get so many opinions on here about real life people. i hate to read reviews cause they are typically written by people who only write reviews and all of tend to...
so in everyones honest opinion which would be the better choice mh or t5? i am upgrading to a 90 gallon tank which will be 48x18x24. i am wanting to do a mix of lps and sps with the occasional...
Well it seems as though alot of us seem to have the same questions. I have read alot of reviews about the remora and it has got nothing but flying colors. My lfs ( yes I know we are supposed to take...
Anyone else got an idea about a hob skimmer? And what all am I going to need to set up a frag tank in everyones personal opinions
well i cant say i have the most experience in fragging but cutting and breaking things are pretty easy. if you are able to get to most of the rock what you would wanna do is " score" a line wither...
I like all of those too. I am probably make that my first project cause I want a bigger dt and if I can fund it doing something else I enjoy than best of both worlds in my opinion. What is everyones...
Hahahahahahahaha more often then not when reading through most peoples threads it very rarely ever stays on topic.But I think that is half the fun of it. I do really like the euphillyia. I think my...

Dick and v you two crack me up. I look forward the the messages I get from you all just to see what's it gonna be this time. I say she won't let go of the money due to the fact we are trying to be...
hey v thanks alot for that, i think you are catching on that i need things simple at first before i can run away with things on my own. did u do that today? cut the tank up to show me?
Now honest opinion is this going to be safe to try and set up or am I better off buying a new drilled tank? Cause my wife would kill me if this sprung a leak cause I haven't even told her yet I am...
its a side panel so i wanna clean away all old silicone away from the front and back panel that would be touching the new side if i understand this correctly. then reseal using lots of silicone?
so v do i need to take all of the silicone out of the inside or just off of the broken panel to try and remove it? is this going to make the tank prone to a leak or weakness? does new silicone blend...
it is a glass tank. i think i paid very little for it to nothing at all i was just hoping to be able to hook it up and use it since i am having to move my tank which would give me a tank that i can...
