I have a 210 gallon tank (96'X24"X 21"tall). I had some problems with the center and one end cross brace coming loose. I decided the best thing to do...
Can it be added to an existing tank? Do you have any suggestion as far as a source is concerned? Also I was thinking is there some where that I can...
Earlier this summer I purchased a used 210 gallon tank (96"X24"X21"high) . It was configured as a breeder tank with 3 internal baffles and a 2"...
You want your water level to rise about half way up the column. Hope that yours works better than mine. My skimmate production is poor even with it...
You'll be fine with 250w bulbe. You may have to acclimate your corals if they haven't been under that much lighting in the past but they will thank...
My suggestion would be 2 250w 14K MH retros. You'll get plenty of light and not have to supplement actinic at all.
That's right and I've yet to find a T5 Actinic that I like.
Ok, for tank circulation think powerheads, seio pumps, or my favorite Hydor Koralia pumps. The Koralis pumps give a very broad area of circulation...
I have a 110 gallon with 4 10k 54w T5 and I can tell you that I wish they were MH. In a 90gal like yours, I'd personally go with 2 400w MH. As far as...
It sounds like either a source water problem (a RO/DI filter would eliminate that), ineffective protein skimming (not enough skimmate production), or...
Sounds like a nice tank. I'm by no means a wrasse expert but I can say that I just added a small 6 line and so far have had no problems with him. He...
You've already got a sizable bioload in your tank (10 fish if I count right). Chances are that they are all going to grow (placing even more load on...
Personally I would have said 1 or 2 less than you currently have. Could you add another tang? Yes. Would it be a good idea to add another? No.
You could use 3 250w 10k Mh. That would cover about 72". When you set up your rock work just end it 6" from each end. That will give you a fade out...
Yea, but you need malt vinegar for the chips. White vinegar and warm water for the skimmer. Also, a good cold brew goes well (I'm told) with the...
Low phosphate and nitrates need to be no phosphate and nitrate readings. Any reading at all indicates a surplus of nutrients which are algae food....
Another possibility might be Anthias. Best in 3s or 5s with a single male.
Keep an eye on him and you may find thet he's kissing the glass all over the tank (eating algae off the glass). You can also try clipping nori to the...
Thanks for the warm welcome. I'll be glad to help in any way I can. If I can keep some of you from making some of the mistakes I've made in the past...
Just wanted to say Hi and give a bit of background. I've been maintaining aquariums off and on for over 45 years. Started with freshwater in the mid...
