    Would skimmer contradict refugium?

    This might be a no-brainer question to few or most, I am just having a hard time understanding the interaction of these two. I have a 75G DT with 20L sump, the sump is basically set up with a filter sock, water passes through the length of the sump (recently added chaeto to this section, sump...

    Buying colony vs frags-pros and cons?

    In general, what should someone keep an eye out when buying colonies? What do you look for besides good polyp extension and making sure the corals aren't covered in pests. As of now, I have several zoa frags and few LPS like Acans and euphyllia, all of these are very small and to be honest it...

    AI Prime HD vs Current USA IC Loop PRO

    Hello, reefers! My tank is 75G, 48" wideX18" long X21" deep. I went from 2X165W Chinese LED to Current USA IC loop pro(2x48" strip). I like the sleekness of the lights but I am afraid I don't have enough PAR for my corals. I have mostly soft corals with some LPS, & no intention of moving to...

    CURRENT USA MARINE ORBIT IC LED

    Hello all, I have seen a few posts regarding this a few times before. I recently upgraded my aquarium from 165W Chinese led to 48" IC from current USA. I had good growth with the 165W but wasn't a fan of the light spill happening in the room, when lights come on, it was basically for the whole...

    is this a fromia baby???

    Hello all, just recently purchased a red fromia about 4-5inches across in length. 3 days later, I find this somewhat close to where the fromia hangs out. is this a pest or a fromia baby? I don't know anything about fromia reproduction, so I am very skeptical about it being a baby. help!!

    Gyre 230 or 250 for 75 gallon tank?

    I accidentally picked up the Maxspect XF250 Gyre when I meant to buy the 230. I have a 3 foot, 75 gallon tank. I assume the 250 is going to be massive overkill and I should swap the 250 for the 230? Thoughts?

    WTB 75 gallon aquarium

    Looking for a 75 gallon tank that anybody's looking to get rid of. If you got one shoot me a price ( of if I'm lucky enough that you just want to get rid of it :) ) or if you want to trade for any frags I may have. Must be in decent condition. Drilled or non drilled doesnt matter. Would like...

    75 Gallon Stocking List

    Hi everyone, I'm looking at a potential stocking list for my 75G reef tank. It's currently in a fallow period following an ich problem.... So it has LPS, SPS, and softies in the tank as well as a cleaner shrimp and starfish. I have my surviving pajama cardinal in quarantine with CP for 30 days...

    75 gallon. Trying to build it right the first time!

    I've been reading and watching A LOT of videos. I've seen most of the BRS videos on setting up a tank and have the general idea about how to do it but everything varies so much by tank size and other factors it's hard to now exactly what size items (piping, sump, pump, etc) I need for my...

    Hopefully not a stupid question

    Before I venture out to home depot and start buying things, I wanted to ask here and see if there is a simpler solution to connect from PVC to my return pump. I recently acquired a 75G reef tank pre drilled and plumbed for reef, in an effort to plunge into reef-keeping. All of my experience is...

    Dry rock curing/cycling

    I recently purchased 40 pounds of dry rock from Amazon for a reef tank I am setting up (https://www.amazon.com/Worldwide-Imports-AWW0855-Atlantic-40-Pound/dp/B0002DI7F0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502734990&sr=8-1&keywords=atlantic+coral+rock+worldwide+imports). I rinsed the rocks in RODI water...

    Build Thread Jimbo's 75 gallon mixed reef build

    I like that nifty little title so I reckon I better start an actual build thread. I bought several tanks, a 10g, 20g, 20g IM Nuvo, a 29g and a 75g with stand. The 20g Nuvo will be my QT, the 10g the ATO for that tank. The 75g is becoming my reef tank. It was used and came with a shoddy...

    Vortech MP60 on 75 gallon?

    What do you guys think? I already have the MP60 so figured it was a question worth asking. I'm toying with the idea of trying it just to see how it would work out, but with it being a rimless tank, I'm worried about completely overpowering the tank. Tank will be bare bottom with a focus on SPS.
