I recently set up my 75g tank and am waiting for the cycle to finish. while doing this, I find myself staring at rocks....and actually enjoying it. My question is about surface agitation and wave makers. I have 2 jebao wp25's at opposite sides of the tank facing each other and am getting...

Been looking at powerheads... Internet says I need like 3000 gph for a 55 softy and Lps, I'm not set on any particular fish, so I can plan them around the equipment. Is that on top of my 350 gph overflow? Jebaos recommended all around, maybe a WP on each end, and 2 smaller cheaps? or maybe...

Looking for some suggestions on how many and of which size of the Eco tech VorTech pumps I should get for a 90 gallon mix reef tank. Anybody out there using them on a 48" 90 gallon that could offer advise or suggestions? What they got or wished they would have after making the purchase?

So before i leave harrisburg , i'm going to thatfishplace and load up on heavy goods. Yesterday I got to thinking about wavemakers . I cant make a toilet flusher type because of space. I don't want to use electronic wave makers because of cost. I don't want to use wavysea types because of...

OK ... I bet I'm not the only electrical engineer here .... so here is a question: Isnt an electronic wave maker just a triac output power controller set to reduce the voltage and on time of the sine wave so that the power head slows down? And of so, why do we spend hundred of bucks for one...

My 2 new clowns are adjusting to my tank. However, I have turned off my wave makers, they simply can't swim with them on. They get blown all over the tank and fight against it. Do I have too much water movement? I am running 2 1200 Maxijets with a wavemaker and large propellor in a 90 gallon...

Hello, I am setting up a 72g bow front for a mixed reef. After much outstanding advice from a few on a previous post, i decided to order the Tek T5 6 - 54 watt system and a Euro Reef skimmer. So, what I could use help with is: Is there a suggested, reputable place to order live rock from and...

Here's a few pics of my new tank and fish room. 220 Display tank w/ 55 gal sump. I've never realized how small a 55 gal tank can really look. Here's the beginnings of the wall that the fish tank is built into. And here's the tank on the stand. I sure am glad that I have a 6" ledge...
