interesting that no one mentioned a refugium for macro growth as a means for nutrient export. along with good skimming, water changes and visible detritus removal...i can't imagine my tank without a refugium growing as much macro as possible.

my current 125g has a sump with a 5g bucket for a fuge (incredible results from this little fuge). it also has a second hand skimmer along with a new chiller. lighting is powered by 2x400w 10k mh with 2x40w no actinics made it my ideal reef tank. my decision to go full reef came from being...

the only name brand equipment that i re-purchase is ushio mh bulbs (i have the 10k bulbs). couldnt be happier with them. well, i also recommend maxi-jet powerheads if you are going to use them. that's about it. as for the other stuff. i get whatever is on sale. i have found that an...

okay, there is a lot of reading and it is making my head spin. what i am getting from some of the threads is that the dsb will collect and release phosphorous over the long haul. my question is: if you have a very effective and efficient fuge/algae filter...shouldn't it absorb whatever...

hook up a fuge with chaeto and a strong light source. you will be amazed at the results. i was.

install a fuge/algae filter with strong direct lighting. i routinely and intentionally overfeed my tank with reckless abandon. this doesnt include what my wife feeds the fish. it amazed me how my cyano, hair and dino problems left as soon as my fuge matured. i do a 10% water change every two...

good to hear that you are staying in! :) i had a really annoying cyano and hair bloom together. i did chemi-clean, water changes...you name it... my problem really took care of itself after i installed a little fuge with spaghetti macro algae growing in there. my fuge is really small (5g for...

hello, i just acquired a 125 gallon set up and am going to set it up with some live rock. i am removing my 40 pounds of fiji live rock from my 30 gallon to be placed in the 125. it is very decorative and pleasing to the eye with lots of coraline algae and various life. my question is where...
