    Rebirth of a 110 Gallon Mixed Reef

    Well, about a year ago my 110 Gallon system crashed suddenly, leaving me sad and discouraged. My 70 Gallon Reef continued chugging along, doing fairly well, but I didn't feel like adding any new fish to it and really just kept up the status quo. I didn't break the 110 down, however. A couple of...

    110 Crashing

    I'm at the end. A couple weeks ago, some of my corals started to look stressed out and I got a little bit of an algae bloom. So I changed the water and changed the carbon and Phosban. Didn't help. Parameters were all in line, did another WC, same thing. Corals started to die. Fast forward 2...

    Closet Clean Out

    So, I posted some of this once and neglected to subscribe to the thread, and didn't think I got any responses, my apologies. Have a few things to sell to make room for all the junk I accumulate: 2 Ushio 10k double-ended metal halide bulbs. Used for about 1 month. $50 each, or both for $85 Aqua...

    Making some room

    Alright, When setting up my 70 and 110 I either ordered stuff I didn't end up needing, or replaced some things. I'm going to be poking through what I have, but here's a start, at least: One Quiet One 6000 Pump: Proved to be too much for what I was trying to do. Used for maybe a week, probably...

    Pacific East Aquaculture

    Placed an order with them on Sunday evening for a frag pack, as well as a membership. Beth called me Monday morning to ask if I saw a frag that I would like as my bonus for signing up for the membership. I hadn't realized that you could get this bonus frag right away, so I added a purple...

    Dosing Pump/suggestions

    I'm looking into moving into dosing two part solutions in my reef tanks. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a dosing pump, and how to set up such a system.

    Dosing

    Does anyone dose magnesium or strontium? How do you do it, and why? I'm looking into the benefits of dosing additives besides Kalk to my system.

    Fish Habitrail?

    Shale pointed this out to me, and I feel compelled to share. I don't think you could actually have a reef in this thing, but... aquagallery

    My 110 Gallon Build

    This build is going to take a little while...Picked up my 110 Gallon tank finally. It's currently filling with water. Sitting on my DIY stand, it's almost 6 feet tall. I'm building a canopy to hold two metal halides and two 54w t5 actinics, which will add another 13 inches of height. The...

    Anselth's 70 Gallon Tech Tank upgrade

    Well, I'm constantly finding that your current setup is never enough. I've been planning on upgrading to a 110 for a while now and moving my 50 gallon out into the living room. Well, I was out today and bumped into a 70 gallon Oceanic Tech tank with stand that was the same footprint as my 50. I...

    Resource/Links page?

    Could we compile a list of online resources into one place? Some sort of one-way link database that members could add links to with a brief description? On a related subject, maybe a list of recommended books as well?

    Equipping a 90 Gallon

    Lighting a frag tank

    Hey! I am thinking about plumbing a frag tank into my upcoming system. I'll have a 36" 2x96w PC fixture I won't be using. Will this be enough light over a tank that's only 16-20" deep to light SPS frags? If not I'll wait on fragging any high light species till I can get a bank of T5s.

    Pacific East Aquaculture

    Had a great experience with them. Ordered a bunch of frags for a Saturday delivery. They waited until 5 to pack and ship them, and they arrived at 1030 the next morning. I recieved an e-mail a couple of minutes after they arrived asking if everything had gotten there ok - apparently they called...

    Sump baffles

    OK, so I've already built one sump. Starting to plan the sump for my next tank. Trying to recall my fluid dynamics, and am drawing a blank. I can't make the third baffle in an over-under-over layout taller than the first to raise the water level in the return section while keeping the skimmer...

    OK, what's the deal with black silicone seams on glass tanks? Does this give some sort of benefit?
