Going to a larger tank 120g (48x24x24) from 93g (30x30x27) and now I have to buy some lights. I currently have an ATI 8x24 with reefbrites but I do not have the budget to buy another ATI fixture for 48”. Currently I am between buying 2 AI 26s or 2 Ocean Revive T247B. Since the tank upgrade was...

Hey everyone, A while back I started to notice that my 93 Frameless Marineland cube was starting to get get some micro bubbles in the seams. I went ahead and searched and realized it was common occurrence on this tank, so I didn’t think much about about it. Fast forward to last week (about 6...

Anyone have any issues with copper treating your Anthias in QT? Over the years I have ran Coppersafe in my QT and have not had issues with Fairy Wrasses, Tangs, Clowns, etc. Just wondering if Anthias are more sensitive, as I have read some comments that they certain types do not tolerate it...

I have been reading a lot about Fluconazole being a very effective treatment for Bryopsis, that was not harmful to fish and coral. In my previous nano I had this problem and I have seen it pop up in my larger aquarium. In the past Tech M used to be able to do the trick, but it is not effective...

Hey Everyone, Bought some reef brites and one of the power adapters needs to be replaced. Would this work as a replacement? I am not sure if having an exact match is going to make a difference or not. Maybe someone with more electrical understanding can help. I have highlighted the...

So I have had my Chevron for about 3 or so weeks in QT and currently treating with copper and PraziPro. Recently I noticed a white oval on its dorsal fin. I thought it was a fluke at first and fresh water dipped but it did not come off. Looking at it now it does may not be since the fish has...

Hey everyone, I recently switched from Reef Fusion 2 Part to creating my own BRS 2 Part. I went the BRS route since I was running through a lot of each. Current tank is 93 Gal Cube with 40 Gallon breeder sump. Right now it has corals only, about 20 different acro frags, couple monti frags and...

So I am running my QT with a few fish in it before they make the leap to the display. I have been running cupramine and now I am going to start with a Prazi treatment, one fish looks like it is flashing. My question is when I dosed the cupramine I did a 2 gal water change everyday to help with...

Hey everyone, I am finally starting my build of my 93 gallon cube (build thread coming soon), and I just completed my 40 gallon breeder sump. The question I have is should I build a small stand for my sump? I am setting up the tank in my finished basement, and the sump will be under the stairs...

Hey everyone, I bought an RODI unit about a year ago. It still has the membrane and filters in it. I bought replacements for everything all 4 canisters and the membrane. I am planning on replacing everything tomorrow night but I am wondering do I need to clean the holding canisters first. If...

Hey everyone I have a 16 gal Nuvo that has been running for about 2 years now. The tank has been extremely healthy, and I have been keeping SPS mostly with some LPS. It has been a thrill to finally have a nano SPS tank that thrives. I recently went on vacation and for about the last month the...

Hey everyone, I have a colony of Wobbelgong Zoas, somewhere around 50-60 polyps. I had a slight algea issue a few months ago when my peppermint shrimp disappeared. I havea 16 gal Nuvo so those 2 dying created a large increase algea in the tank, something that looked like a green slime. It...

Anyone know what the smallest power head out there is? I have Nano Korilia but it is too big for what I need. I have a nuvo 16 with a RW4 jebao, but even though it's powerful I still have a dead spot behind the rock walk. Pretty sure that the food is going back there and since there is no...

Saw this at Menards and was thinking about using this for my RODI storage. Anyone think I will have a leaching problem? http://www.menards.com/main/housewares/cleaning-supplies/trash-cans/32-gallon-trash-can-with-wheels/p-135301-c-7124.htm Thanks
