After 2 years of searching and prepping, the time finally arrived and I was able to purchase one of my dream fish... With lots of reading, asking questions, researching, and making sure my system had the proper filtration and other equipment, I pulled the trigger and brought home a fish with an...

whats everyone's thoughts about the aiptasia eating file fish? Are they hard to keep in the home reef tank? how well do they actually take care of the aiptasia? Do they eat Bubble tips? what do these things eat once the aiptasia is gone? I am looking to get one to contain a potential break out...

So i am going to look into putting together a dosing pump.. I am not that great at math and I was just trying to go over the numbers in my head. Since this is a reef tank, I can't be wrong or I'll kill everything. here's my thinking... for a while, I've been raising my ALK when I get around to...

I have been doing a lot of reading and it seems to me Chalice Corals are the new reefers addiction. Everywhere I go, I am reading about how chalices are the greatest corals one can put in their reef tank. I understand they can get some crazy, insane, colors and because of that, they can be...

Hi everyone, I've decided to develop my 250 gallon build thread to help me keep control of what all has happened, happening, and what could happen in the future. So this past Christmas, my wife and I decided to build out our basement. We added approximately 800 square feet of space and within...

Drawing out the plans of the basement project, I want to add a fish room.. In that room I am thinking of a 6-foot in-wall tank. I've seen 6-foot tanks range in 280 gallons. Where is the best place to get information about custom acrylic tanks or really large standard size tanks? Anywhere in the...

I thought since I am in the process of building a 100g reef, I wouldn't let me 37g starter reef become just a memory. So in this thread, I will submit my very first reef system containing a 37G DT with a 10G fuge. I want to use this thread as a comparison of my 37G to my 100G. So here it goes...

What is up with this "Happy Corals" place?!?! :mad: They are bombarding my facebook account to be their friend. I must say, they are ticking me off with their "in your face" marketing techniques, trying to get customers to see and like their products. Instead of using a business fan page on FB...

I was on here this morning searching through the posts about LED lighting and came across a build who had solved the problem on how to hang 2 - 24-inch LED light fixtures without mounting them to the ceiling. The mount looked like an arm that was mounted onto the back of the stand and curved up...

After several trips to Menards and multiple attempts to get the plumbing of my 100 gallon build sized accordingly, I decided to weed out the flex tubing and go with the BeanAnimal overflow. I have three bulkheads installed while using an acrylic overflow box rated at 1,800 gph. Meanwhile, I hope...

Along with my 100 gallon build, I'm wanting to possibly try out the LED technology. Currently my 40 gallon DT has 200 watt, 14k MH, my corals are growing at an excellent rate. They're healthy and light reaches the bottom (24-inches) of the tank. Since I am new with LED technology, I came across...

Hi CR - I am needing some help for my build. I have 5 holes drilled in the back of my 100 gallon DT. 3 are being used as drains via overflow box (top center) and the 2 most outer holes will be a Closed Loop System. My return line is going to be an over the top U-Tube I purchased from MDepot so I...
