    Euro braceing 75 gallon tank

    Anybody euro brace a tank? I'm thinking about euro bracing a 75 gallon aquarium that I had to remove the frame due to the center brace cracking all the way down the frame, and getting a new one shipped to me is gonna be $180. The front and back glass is 3/8 but the sides are 1/4, is that normal...

    HELP! No skimmer on MAX 250

    My water quality is great for not having a skimmer at all, I have multiple test kits to cross reference all my parameters and they've all been pretty damn steady and everything seems happy and there is a little bit of algae that I keep around for the coral beauty. As for surface agitation...

    HELP! No skimmer on MAX 250

    My tank has been running for a little under 2 months with no skimmer due to it pooping out and literally everything is perfectly fine. My NPS gorgonian is out and full and all the fish are happy healthy and eating well. I only plan on adding two blood shrimp, a yellow tang, and a sand sifting...

    Coral Beauty pacing front glass constantly

    When I fed the tank today he went for a pellet or two, couldn't care less about the mysis or flakes. I have been keeping a piece of nori on a clip and one on each side of the tank wedged into the rock work for him, I haven't seen him go for that yet.

    Coral Beauty pacing front glass constantly

    I recently put a coral beauty angelfish into my tank about a week ago and all it does is pace back and forth on the front glass every second of every day, it also hasn't eaten anything I've given it yet but I hear they usually take some time to adjust before they eat. I do almost always have a...

    HELP! Adding fish to new tank

    Ammonia and nitrite are 0 nitrate is very low, a water change will probably get rid of it all together Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    HELP! Adding fish to new tank

    I'm transferring all my fish from my 10 gallon to my new cycled 65 gallon tank and was a curious on the rate you guys put fish into the tank? The new tank has had a new CUC, one of my blue damsels and one of my cleaner shrimp in it for about 2 weeks now and I'm now adding the other damsel and...

    HELP! Live rock turning white

    I do have an urchin but he's not in this tank yet. Those levels are all from what's in the salt, I haven't gotten around to dosing yet because my only coral isn't even in this tank yet. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    HELP! Live rock turning white

    I'm not exactly starting out but I figured I'd post this here for anybody who is and is also experiencing this. I've had a piece of live rock that was in my almost two year old tank that I put into my newly setup tank (about 6 weeks old) 2 or so weeks ago with a good amount of dry rock to seed...

    Chaeto in RSM 250

    I'll have my two clowns, my two damsels, a gold headed sleeper goby, a yellow tang, and I was kinda hoping for two frostbite clowns. And my cleaner shrimp, two fire shrimp, starfish, my urchin and an assortment of cleanup crew.

    Chaeto in RSM 250

    Pretty much everything in the tank will snack on them, I just want to make sure there's enough for the dragonet as his primary food source so he can graze as he pleases. I was also thinking of stuffing a little more chaeto under the media rack, that would also help with reducing nitrates a...

    Chaeto in RSM 250

    Has anybody with a gen 1 RSM 250 put chaeto below one of the pumps? That's the only spot in this tank you can put it without a sump or refugium (I have neither.) I plan on getting a dragonet in the near future and am hoping to use chaeto for the pods to reproduce. The only two issues with this...

    Rock flower anemone question

    I wouldn't consider myself new to the hobby, I would consider myself a fairly new tank owner though. I've been taking care of a good friends saltwater tank for probably 8 years now (he travels a lot for work.) About a year and a half ago I started a little 10 gallon nano in my room for something...

    Rock flower anemone question

    I plan on putting one or two bubble tip anemones in there for the clowns to host, but that wont be for a while, I know bubble tips need a well established tank. I definitely plan on waiting until my water parameters are acceptable and consistent before adding the RFA. From what I've been able to...

    Rock flower anemone question

    My 65 gallon has been up and running for almost two weeks now. I'm starting to see a little bit of bacteria spots here and there on the dead rock, mostly around where I seeded it with live rock from my year and a half old tank, I also put bacteria in a bottle and am dosing Ammonia for another...

    RSM 250 questions.

    I forgot to mention, I did try unplugging one pump at a time and there wasn't even one whole degree of a temperature change for each one. I think I'm gonna unplug them all and see what happens.

    RSM 250 questions.

    Thank you for the attachment, I read it over and will give it a go today. However, the original owners manual said to keep the water level at 3-4 notches from the top as optimum water level for the skimmer and the attachment you gave me says to keep it 6-7 notches below the top for temp...

    RSM 250 questions.

    I recently picked up a RSM 250 for free and after many hours of getting it reef ready it's finally been cycling for a little over a week. I am having some issues with it though. My biggest concern is the skimmer, it doesn't seem to continuously run, I'll fine tune it and it'll run great for an...
