    New Build Red Sea Max C-130

    Just moved tanks and my coral doesn't look happy

    Hi everyone, not sure what type it is but it's one of my favorites and it doesn't seem to be doing well and just wanted another opinion.

    Clicking noise

    Picked up an established tank with full coral and livestock. Every so often I hear a loud clicking noise (very infrequent but clustered together) and I'm at a lost for what is causing it.

    Red Sea Max 250 DIY LED options

    Hi everyone, I have a new to me RSM 250 and was wondering if anyone has tried to place a 30-33" LED light bar made by one of the larger OEMs such as Marineland into the hood to replace the T5s?
