I never had the marineland unit but by my estimation it will only support soft corals and LPS corals but won't provide a lot of growth. It may not be much of an upgrade from what you already have. I had a quick look at the specs - the unit is primarily 1W 6500K LED's with a few 10K blue's...

the red sea one looks like a complete system with built in filtration. Its a nice starter tank which you may outgrown. Its not much of an upgrade from what you have in terms of capacity. The Aquareef cubes look very nice. More work to set up (drilled vs. overflow), sump, return pumps. We...

+1 if you're really concerned about it run some phosguard thorough a media bag.

+1 on the razor - quickest way to scrap crap off used tank.

Nick - i have a canister attached to a 8 gallon nano. I have a lot of live rock in my tank so i don't really need or want to have the biological filtering from the canister (i.e. convert ammonia to nitrates). I have 2 fish (clown and watchman goby), inverts and various corals including...

The Aqueon proflex series is a pretty good off the shelf solution. I have the model 4. The only thing i don't like how is that i don't have the option to put a skimmer before refugium. A lot of people make custom sumps - it just a matter of using a standard tank and putting acrylic baffles in...

+1 I use these plastic garbage containers to hold/mix water - done it for over a year - don't see any adverse effects.

looks like things are coming along!

You should be fine.

I have an apex as far as I know there are only probes for temp/ph,/ORP/conductivity(salinity). There are digital meters for po4/calcium/dkh/PAR but they don't connect up to apex. These all involve the use of regents and doesn't lend itself to monitoring. Seneye - has a nitrate measuring...

55 gallon is a fairly large sump/refugium setup. The obvious benefits is that you can have more macroalgae growing in it (and hence more nitrate export). The other benefit is that it increases the overall water volume of your system so that any sudden introduction of "bad" stuff (toxins...

I would suggest this (adapt as required) 1) get some microbacter7 - this will accelerate your cycling - get an ammonia badge/ammonia absorbing sponge 2) start seeding the rock you will use in your 125 by putting it in your other tanks now (where possible you may have some real big pieces. This...

They look like Kenya trees with the branching growth but the polyp growth looks too regular and its missing the stem. Even frags will anchor themselves and will start growing a stem which has no poly extension. But this may be just that this was recently fragged. Can you look up close do the...

they look cool. have to say never seen anything like it. the calcium tubes from tube worms are usually white and fairly rudimentary - these look more intricate. are they hard or soft (poke it with something).

everyone has their own opinion on number of fish that should be kept in a tank - but I think you are ok with the 3 fish you listed and maybe could add a smaller one. As for fish - I recommend clown gobies, bi-color blenny, the smaller highfin gobies. I run a little 8g nano with a false clown...

just looked on ebay uk quickly and found this Aqua One Aquience Aquarium And Cabinet Cube | eBay aqua one seems to have a uk supplier aquience_cube.php

just had a chance to look through your thread - nice setup!

There are 2 standard tank dimensions that are close to what you want. 30 gallon tall - 24x12x22(h) 30 gallon stnd - 30x12x18(h) You may also think about a 65 gallon standard 36x18x24(h). There a also hex tanks that are quite tall. I have been thinking about a seahorse/gorgonian/nps tank...
