    Looking for ideas!!

    Soooo you think you can danceeee? Jk jk I love the planning stages of tanks, what I did was google <tank size> build and spent countless hours reading other people's threads. I would recommend making the apex a top purchase since that will lay the ground work for wiring/cable management. You...

    I stopped by NJ Corals Direct on Saturday to pickup some corraline scrapings, they went above and beyond and ended up giving me 2 pieces of rock covered in corraline! While there I also picked up some corals, I wasn't planning on getting some so soon, but with the prices and how nice they were...

    I think it is safer to use a raw shrimp and let that spike the ammonia and remove it then to let pure ammonia sit in the tank. Just my personal opinion, but it is how I cycled my last few tanks.

    Sigh....

    Snap a pic of the tank on the stand and the pipe you want to cut, I'm sure our trained engineers can find a way to fix it without draining and disassmbling the whole tank. If you decide to redo it, I would just borrow someone's large brute and drain the water/move rocks & fish then fix the...

    Sigh....

    As someone who lost everything and rebuilt I can say it was good to be able to do everything how I wanted. With my current system I am very happy with how it is running and have nothing really to change except maybe my lights. Take some time to think about it and consider what it means. With...

    The tank without my air conditioner on reaches 80/82 degrees, with my air conditioner on it holds at 78 pretty steady. I keep my AC on when I'm home at 68, but with the fall coming will probably remove it and just leave the window open. THankfully I am in the basement so it is not too bad. I...

    I don't think I need anymore powerheads in this tank, it's hard for the clowns to handle a measly 600 gph now.

    Do not add pure ammonia, kev-o throw out the api test kits and get salifert ones, I used to use the api reef master then compared them to my saliferts and well they are doo doo platters. Add a shrimp for a week, let it sit, remove it on a Friday, test on Sunday and see what your levels are...
