So back on the first I posted that I would be starting a new build. This will consist of 2 93g marineland cubes side by side. Each tank is 30"x30"x30" making the setup a total of 30"x60"x30". The tanks will sit so that both overflows are in the center back part of the setup. Equipment...

AI Sol Super Blue vs AI Prime HD I have 2 Sols currently which I am planning to use on the two 90g cubes. However I also have the Prime HD and prefer the light spectrum of it over the sol, but worried about penetration at the 30" depth. I'm not too worried regarding the spread as I do not...

Well it has been a long year. Last year I chose to give up on my plan for my double 40b setup. The original idea was to setup 2 40b next to each other in a single 6' setup. Both tanks were plumbed together to a single sump with the intent to run 1 as a mixed reef, and the other as a seahorse...

Just curious if it's my glass, my angle, or lighting location that makes my clam look dull. When looking from the front it's purple with very dull blue dots. When looking from above, the clam looks amazing with very vibrant coloration. How do you get the vibrant colors to be visible from the...

Just curious if anyone knows what this thing is. Some kind of slug? Just showed up one night in the tank. Its about 2-3" at this point. Is it beneficial? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone here do model trains as a hobby? My son is Fascinated with model trains when ever he sees them. So for his b day next month I am building him a 5x3 n Scale setup. It will be 2 track setup. First is a point to point starting at the base in front right, then travels around the outside...

This is for the rental of A Gryphon 36" Aquasaw to be used for cutting hard corals. It is to be pickup only in Plainfield IL. Or possibly meetup if available. I know this is one thing that most reefers are not willing to purchase but are interested in. I am not willing to cut corals as the...

So I tested my water today for phosphate as I am getting a lot of light brown algae over everything. The reading came out less than 0.25. Am I correct in the thought that it's actually much higher and that the amount of algae is throwing off the reading? Added some phoszorb for now to see if it...

So I have a few API tests that need to get replaced. Basically starting fresh with test Kits. Figured I'd see what everyone recommends over API. I know they arnt bad, but there is definitely room for improvement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have an old case of salt. 4 bags of 50g each. Issue is all four are mostly rock solid. Is the salt bad at this point? Can it still be used if I broke it up? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Almost of the coral that was heavily damaged by the angel are coming back. The only one that hasn't changed at all is my hammer. It lost pretty much all color, and doesn't open. It does look like it lost tentacles, but the ones still there seem to open like 1/8" or so and when touched retract...

Not sure if it's something with the site or with Tapatalk. However, since the crash happened the other night. Many threads will not open on my Tapatalk including my own build thread. Also I've noticed my name showing I posted something when I haven't and it's loading random photos from different...

So as many of you know my angel damaged all 3 of my anemones. One disappeared. One was hosting my crab anemone crab and 2' away the 3rd was still hosting my clown as it has done for about 6 months. Well I wake up this morning to find that the anemone hosting the crab has disappeared, and the...

So I have 3 bags of carribsea agralive Fiji pink sand. The bags are dated as best used by 2013. At this point the sand just considered dead and would just need to cycle over again right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pros cons? I have ran small tanks with strainers, and ran my 150 with a large diy pvc overflow, and I have ran reef ready. I have no experience with the hang on back overflows. Any suggestions for my two 40 breeder tanks? Been looking around but not sure which setup I want to do. Sent...
