I have a HOB filter on my 75 gallon FOWLR tank and it seems to work just fine. I also have a few polyps, mushrooms, and a couple of anemones in the tank. I have had the aquarium up and running for a little over a year now. I clean it every 4 weeks when I do my 25% water change. I rinse...

AL, Along with the HOB filter system I also have to power heads to circulate the water. One is a Koralia 3 and the other is a Penquin 660. I have good water circulation I just wasn't sure about the filtering. I also have a Romora Pro HOB protein skimmer.

Thanks for the advice. I'm not sure how far into the reef I want to go. I would love to have it all but with the present economy I think I will have to stay with a FOWLR and the few polys I have. This is such an exciting hobby. I've had freshwater aquariums for years and last year decided...

I've been reading some threads trying to decide whether or not to get an anemone and everyone keeps warning about them dieing and nuking the tank. What does that mean? Are they that lethal if they die?

Welcome and good luck with your 1000 gal. goal.

Welcome. I love watching the progress of new builds. Can't wait to see more.

Welcome to RS Jenna. This a great site with a lot of useful information.

Thanks again for the camera info. I'll give it a try this weekend using my tripod.

Thanks for the camera info. I have a Nikon D70 (digital SLR) also. I guess I will just have to practice, practice, practice and turn off the power heads and flash. Again, great looking tank. I'm hoping someday to have a tank that nice.

Your tank looks awesome. Thanks for the chronicle. I was wondering what setting you have your camera on to get such nice pictures? Mine always seem to turn out blurry.

That is an awesome tank. Can't wait to see the FTS.

You have a great looking tank. It has come a long way in a year. Thanks for keeping us updated on the progress.

I started my 1st tank in March 2008 and I had the same problem after my new tank was up and running for about 4 months. I tried everything to clear it up and nothing worked until someone told me to change 1/2 the water and clean the filters, all at the same time. I had a bacteria bloom...

Thanks for the information. I think the store off Todd Drive is Pet World. I have shopped there too but there tanks never look that good. I haven't be to Animart in a while so I will be wary until there water clears up. I just got rid of my bacterial bloom which I have had since I set my...
