Sucks to hear the LFS guy basically suckered you in and dumped in that many fish in that short while. That tank would look so sick with SPS and halides.

Try Jumbokrill. I've actually gotten mine to eat nori, lol...and he loves it

I agree with noskimmer. A skimmer would really be essential to a FO system. A mechanical filter may be able to remove a lot of the dirt, but unless you clean it out often it will lead to higher nitrates. Will there be a DSB in the tank? You could get an ASM G-4+ for $415, although I only see...

I wouldn't put any SPS under PCs. They don't have that much intensity. If you plan on going SPS you should go for T5s or MH.

Thanks for all the comments. I feel that I should make a new thread and post about the progress. I think I will later on

I used to manually turn on my T5s then run my MH's on a timer that didn't even have a stop pin, so I ended up turning off the lights manually for a while. couple months later I received a free digital timer which really saved me some time although I still had to manually turn my lights on and...

I don't know if you could fit it but a Bak-Pak could work nicely. Had one on my 20g last year and it did a pretty nice job of taking out things.

Pics not working for me :(

Shot taken a few weeks ago. Sure wish I had my bro's 18-35mm wide angle.

An ATi BM250 would be perfect as they are short and pretty efficient. Many people run them and really stand behind theirs. ASMs? I wouldn't consider them that great. I have no idea why they overpriced them...saw a few of them at a shop and wasn't very impressed with the materials used to...

A Tunze 9005 skimmer may be able to fit in there.

Also a new fish list: 2x Powder brown tang 3x Yellow tang 1x 3 spot domino damsel 2x tomato clowns 1x volitans lionfish 1x bluefin trigger 1x maroon clown 2x yellowfin damsel 1x blue tang 1x snowflake eel

Been a while since I updated this thread. Well, I've been planning on getting a Bubble King 300 External by Feb 2008... or a Reelo Dart skimmer. Bulbs will be changed soon, maybe to 14.5k Megachromes or 14K ushios. I still need to get my CA reactor, which will most likely be a Koralin 1502...

Sweet polyps!

Ok, well tried a 240g with the $750 budget, but 1000 more....HAHA! Here we go(some copied from my previous post): Equipment: Tank-240g-$200(Yes, did see someone sell one for this low!) Aquamedic T1000 Rio NW pump-$65 2 x 400w PFO Single-Ended ballasts+pendants w/20k bulbs-$300 OR6500...

Lets see...I just have a 20g sitting with some LR and water, but on a $750 budget heres what I'd go with: Equipment: 40g tall-$55 Aquatraders 380w 24" MH combo light-$169 Jebo Heater-$~25 ASM Mini-G:$100 CPR CS50 overflow:$80 Seachem Basic-$28 Seachem Mag test-$24 Cheap light for...

I feel sorry for you guys where LR/LS is expensive. Socal is an awesome place to live if you keep marine tanks. LFS's can sell semi-cured rock from $3-4/lb and if youre lucky $2/lb during a sale. I was able to score a good 150-200lbs of LR and 200+lbs of LS for only 300 bucks from a fellow...

Try feeding your fish food that has been soaked in crushed garlic. The garlic will help boost their immune system.

In the Large tank forum over at RC others with large tanks sometimes don't actually get 1lb+/gallon since they take into account the corals that will be growing and taking space. Also with more room for corals that leaves you more time by not having to frag things all the time.

50lbs is a good amount to start off with. Some people recommend 1-1.5lbs/gallon, but it should actually be less if you want to get corals. You could get away with smaller water changes but more frequently. I say swap the bakpak for an octopus or aquaeuro...the bakpak a so-so skimmer and I...
