  1. About to start dripping Kalk, got a ?

  2. Help please, suggestion for next fish

    Alright, right now in my 46 gallon I have 2 blue chromis, a yellow head goby, and an extremely mean spotted hawkfish.

    Next week I am going to build my own refugium for my 46 gallon tank. I'm making it out of 1/4" acrylic, I allready order ahesives through ecomplastics.com. I was going to build a hang on one, similar to the CPR aquafuge ones, but decided against it. I decided to go with a sump design, below...

    I have some brown polyps that I moved over yesterday from my 15 gallon to my 46 gallon.

Does this have to do with them getting more light in the 46 gallon, or less light than...

It is a flval 104, and I was wondering where I might could get some more tubing for the filter. I will be short about 2 feet, and I figured I would just go ahead and redo all of the supply and...
