    Check these out.

    I came across these while looking through LED products on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002X75CI8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A325274ZEF9XYZ They come in blue and white so I figured, "What the heck, $20? I'll try em out." This is just one of the blue tubes; 20" x 30 LED's...

    My 115g tank after two months and change

    Howdy, I know it's nothing special compared to some of the full-blown reefs some of the more senior members have in their living rooms; however, I'm proud of it and thankful for all the help, advice, livestock, equipment and patience I've received from various people on this board. I promised...

    Two months no water changes.

    Howdy, 115g display, 25g sump, 200 lbs live rock, caulerpa taxifolia, 70 snails, 30 hermits, four chromis, two ocellaris, one Salarias fasciatus and various inverts, cnidarians. No water changes as of yet. My chemistry is as follows: 1.024 specific gravity, pH 8.0, with no detectible NH3...

    Powerheads in my 115g reef

    I've had my 115g reef running for about two months now. I have twin Maxi-Jet 1300 in opposite corners moving the water in a somewhat anti-clockwise motion. The water motion seems to be suffiecnt and particulate on the top of the water is quickly pushed to overflow. However, my fish are still...

    Disappearing Chromis

    I cycled my 115g tank with 185lbs of live rock and 100 lbs of live aragonite sand from Nov 23rd to December 15th. The NH3 and NO2 spikes didn't take long to appear and drop off as I used a fresh piece of tuna to get things going. My cousin purchased 5 small blue-green Chromis from Kevin at All...

    Using an aerator during cycling?

    My tank is on the tail end of the cycle with ammonia falling off and nitrate starting to appear. My question is: can the use of an aerator pump next to a power-head help to super-saturate a tank with CO2 and therefore increase gas exchange, algal-growth, nitrogen fixing and bacterial...

    Do I need an NH3 source?

    I filled my tank over a week ago. I've added 145 lbs of rock - 65 lbs base and 80 lbs live- as well as 100 lbs of sand - 60 dry aragonite and 40 live. My NH3 tests have only shown a spike of .50 ppm and has been steady for 4 days. I am starting to think that I need an external source of NH3...

    Tank Plumbing Questions

    I've had my 125g tank back up and running for about a week now. It has roughly 145 lbs of live rock, 100 lbs of live sand and no critters as of yet (except for a few little anemones, sponges and shrimp that must have been in the rock). I don't plan on putting livestock in the tank for another 2...

    I could use some help...

    Howdy, I'm new to the MarshReef community as well the saltwater aquarium hobby. I recently purchased a 115 gallon rectangular tank with a heavy-duty stand (handmade by an older fella from church) as well as a few odds and ends, most of which seem aquarium related... I've done a bit of reading...
