Hey Guys, I'm looking for a stocking list in my 150G 60x24x24 cube... So far I have some ideas, but need some input from the group! I have a VERY large skimmer, so should have absolutely no issues with a heavy tank load. I will be keeping large LPS (Frogspawn, Hammer, and Torch colonies), and...

Hey everyone.. As most of you know, I received the go ahead to migrate from our current 60 cube to a 150 I found from a local reefer. I couldn't pass up the price (never thought I would go so big), but went ahead! Tank has been picked up, moved to the basement (was that ever a friecking...

So I just bought a 150 from a local reefer, and there is a whole crap ton of coraline all over the glass, and overflow. I can't just soak it in vinegar because A) sheer size of the tank, and it's in my basement right now... The question is, I'm going to take some vinegar, and use a razor blade...

So we just got a new camera, in preparation for our little one coming here in a couple of weeks, so I thought what better time to get some pictures! I'm certainly not good with it yet, but here are the first macro shots I was able to take. This is my FIRST camera that I can actually zoom in...

I'm a huge LPS fanatic, so you can imagine my joy when I picked up this beauty yesterday..... Premium 50\50 Frogspawn (15 heads)

hey guys... I have a RO\DI system that came with our house, but don't know if it is good enough to pull water from.. Anyone in the area that I can bring a sample of my water, or borrow a TDS meter for a few minutes? I can pay you in beer, or a cigar... whatever you poison is. :-)

So today was the day..... I had to finally clean up my **** stand with the multiple power strips, big clunky timers (3 timers), and just an absolute mess... I decided to take the plunge and get the ReefKeeper Lite Level 3... I picked up up locally @ Aquacave for $265.00 and so far, I have to...

Hey all, I'm running a fuge on an alternate light cycle than my DT and my pH never gets above 8.0... I have been dosing Seachem eight point four for the last couple of days and still pH is not rising.... I realize that the house might have excess CO2 which is causing the pH to behave this way...

Hey guys right now I have a nice big bag of activated carbon in the return of my sump, and a 1\2 unit of Chemipure in the drain (I know I need a full unit, but this was a left over bag from my smaller tank). Question is, should I bother having both in there, or just go with a full unit of...

Question guys, I just picked up a nice Maxima yesterday, it's about 1.75"-2", and came from MCF. They were all about this size, and actually I picked the largest one I could spot. I have a couple of questions.. ( I realize ideally they should be 2", but it is what it is!) - I can see the...

Hey guys! I present to you, the reason why I got into reefing... My wife loved this little tank, and after googling, and seeing what some people had done with it.. I was hooked! This tank is a work in progress for a number of reasons that I will explain below... Tank - Fluval Edge, 6.6...

I'm looking to rock scape new 60G cube and we really want to do something dramatic in there... I was thinking of building up the back wall with rocks almost to the height of the tank, then having little shelves, etc for corals.... For the dramatic part, I was thinking doing an arch from the...

Hey everyone!! I've been lurking here for a few months, have a Fluval Edge reef tank, and a 36G bow front, that just wasn't cutting it for me... I was using mechanical filtration, etc and eventually knew I wanted to upgrade to a sump\fuge setup for my dream reef. I went out for a couple lbs of...

Hey guys, I'm debating whether or not to get a HUB filter for my 36G tank... I currently have a HOB skimmer on one side with Chemipure in the media basket, and relying on my 20lbs of liverock to do the biological filtration... The only thing that drives me nuts is the large particles in the...

Hey all.. I have an Edge in my basement as my main little display tank, and was mis-informed by my LFS that a maroon was a good choice for it... I didn't think anything of it and when I got home realized they can get much larger than the percs in my other tank... I'm blaming it on my newb...

Hey all, I have a 36G reef tank, with 2 true percs currently that are nice and chilled out fish. I'm looking to finish off the fish family with something smaller than them, and something that is not aggressive... The main requirement is, who is least likely to jump. My tank is an open top...

I am new to the reef keeping hobby, about 3 months in so far... Currently have a Fluval Edge, with a sweet nano tuners custom LED fixture coming in, and a 36G bow front tank with a boost LED 135W LED fixture... So far so good, and look forward to posting some pictures when things start looking...
