take all live rock out of the tank first. If you can move the tank and stand together then good. be sure to strap the tank to the stand if you decide to do it this way.if you have the funds then i would highly recommend you get a furniture removalest to help. there expertise and skill in moving...

Buttered loins. Amphiprion is correct, you need heaps more fall to speed up the flow. think of it like this the steeper the hill the faster you go. also head pressure is a key factor, the more water above your drain hole the more weight there is pushing the water out. to obtain more flow the...

Very cool AC2020x

DUDE are you mad dont wait till that aptasia comes out of its hole. Blast the sucker with boiling water in its hole..........

They probably got sucked through the impeller

I found this in a piece of choat that I collected from a wharf, can anyone identify this. Could this be a beneficial pod or a nasty parasite? If this is a nasty parasite could I fresh water dip the choat to kill these parasites, or would it kill the choat as well?

I am not really sure what you have set up, but what would happen if your power fails. will your output drain your main tank, or is it at the surface of your display tank. without pictures it is hard to tell what you have done. I would sumise that if you arnt getting enough flow out of your...

Remember that not all algae is bad debaric if i was in your shoes i would scrub the rock well, rinse it of and put it back into the tank. then of to the lfs to buy several snail and hermit crab species to control the algae. its something you will have to live with in the end. good water quality...

In all reality you would be far better of converting your 55gal to a fowler. Fish Only With Live Rock. It would be far easyer to maintain.

yes you can But it is a risk. you may wind up with pollutants in your tank or worse still Disease. in saying this I have been using both gravel and live rock and water direct from the ocean for 2 years now and have never had a problem. we do have 7 mtr tides here, and that would surely...

you can only give it a go mate. But i would recomend a good water change first. I always do a waterchange befor adding new fish, i think its just good practice.

Should be ok debaric. just remember to keep an eye on the sg of the water in the buckets, and do a few water changes over the 2 weeks, as you dont want the dying alges to produce to many nitrates, or worse amonia. what dose anyone else think....

Hey greech thanks for advice. in the end i think you will see what im trying to acheve the rock wall will serve a valuable purpose 1: as a home for pods, as there is a much corser gravel behind the wall 2: as a shallow end to place the acropora on, that you see in the pics. i am hoping that this...

How long has your tank been cycling for now AC2020x

WOW 400 veiws, and only 22 posts whats wrong arnt there enough pictures for yas

That is correct matt. In order to maintain your chaeto you will need light. a couple of 24wat power compacts should be enough. your settup looks fantastic so far. Looking forward to seeing you stock it

Have you considered using flexable hose. iv just set up my 160 gal, and i used all flex hosing. It allows me to run my plumbing where ever i want, and makes it really easy to disasemble

Thanks frog
