I started out trying to break into the Reefing world back in 03. I planned and planned, and even purchased a 75G tank, had it drilled, built a stand and canopy before my Industry and job at the time took a nosedive.

Hello, everyone! I'm new here and didn't see a newcomer's thread so I'll use this to introduce myself and my tank. I'm Barb, and my tank had LR put in on April 21, 2008. It's already loaded with corals. I've found I have no patience whatsoever, but I'm working on that! I live in Ohio, have four...

Hello, i recently purchased a 29gallon tank, It came as a kit, with built in filtration, lights, seems to be a nice little get up. I plan on doing corals and such, but i noticed theres no skimmer, and i wonder if i put too much live sand in it? about an inch worth covers the entire bottom. any...

OK just doing some playing around with my ORP probe and I have a question. Ideally I want my orp to be around 420 when my probe is in the sump it may read 420 but my display tank at that time is at 330 If i put the probe in the display ozone will kick in until the display reads 420 however...

After extensive reading and gathering feedback, I've come up with a drawn plan for my "fish and invertebrate with live rock only" tank. Its kinda different from the norm, since 1. My overflow compartment does not have holes drilled in 2. I plan to reuse my canister filter despite incorporating...
