I just moved my tank everything went fine lost 1 fish and a couple of corals. but when I went to turn on the lights only 2 of the 3 bulbs turned on. I noticed that the 3rd bulb is trying to turn on, it will spark up but never fully turn on then it will just turn off. then a couple hour or...

All the levels in the tank are fine (ph Alk Ca and temp). I have a turbo floter that skims a half a cup every week. Water changes are done monthly with RO water about 20%. I test the ca level every once in a while, about once a month(being lazy). I do dose Ca about once every 7-10 days, and...

I'm having a zoo problem that I just can't figure out. I have a 210 reef that has been set up since june. before the 210 I had a 30 reef and a 120 fish only. The 30 was stocked with zoos, mushrooms, tourch, and a few other low light stoney corals. I had 2 65watt 50/50 for lighting. The tank...

you might want to try aiming the fans at the bulbs and not across the top of the tank. you will be suprised how that can cool the glass of the bulb down. also if you can. try to have a cross breeze in the canopy(if you have one) one fan blowing in and the other pulling the air out. I did this...

The trigger has been caught!!! I had been thinking, he alway eats out of my hand. So I have had a collction cup hanging in the tank for the last two days. And then thid morning when I fed I floated some of the flakes into the cup. and the bam slowly lifted the cup. easy as pie. He had a fear...

add some bar gobies they do great. Add 2-3 will be good. If you have only one the it may stay hidden (it has that fear unless in numbers mentality) ruski

I just up graded from a 120 fish only to a 210 fish only. But due to a inpules buy I got a 72in retro fit with 3-250MH and 4-96w act PC. that seemed like alot of light to waste on a fish only. So i decided to break down my 29 reef and turn the 210 into a reef (due to the inpulse buy). All...

thanks that is what i thought

Nice very nice, it looks more natural to me.

I have a Red Sea berlin classic in my sump for my 120. I know that Red Sea makes a hang on unit, but does anyone know if they make an adapter for the classic to a hang on unit. thanks, ruski

The house is beening built right now. he had the electrican put in some outlets. Also he put in support beams, going horz. the tank is also going to be acrylic. He(my cousin) saids that he will not turn the fireplace and he is not going to even connect the gas to his house. due to the risk...

Thanks for all the replies and addvice. All the things said have been concerns of mind. I talked to my cousin and expressed the replies. He still has his mind on doing it. With this in mind I'm leaning towards a closed system something like the berlin system slapping the tank full of Lrock and a...

I am helping my cousin with his first reef tank. He is moving into a new house and he wants to put the tank over a gas fireplace that is a room divider with columns on both sides. over the fireplace there is a shelf that is 48*33,this is where the tank is to go. The flue runs through the right...
