    New to SW, I Want a Reef Tank!

    When I had mine done i hooked up an air pump right outside an exterior window with air tubing into the tank. That kept the tank positively pressurized relative to my house which also stopped any infiltration of flea bomb/spray. Didn't lose a thing (except for 13858273059 fleas thank god...

    New to SW, I Want a Reef Tank!

    I had to flea bomb my house last year. I saran wrapped everything (they sell extra sticky heavy duty shipping style saran wrap at home depot) Then put a blanket on it. Make sure to do your sump if you have one too.

    125 Gallon reef tank lighting

    damn, the dimmable versions of those lights are only $112. I am tempted to try and make the jump to LED's now. My wife found a 125Gal for sale up the street with a nice stand for $350- The only reason I hadn't made the jump from the 90 was because we don't have $700-900 for a 6' MH/T5 light

    VERTEX ALPHA 250 SKIMMER w/Red Dragon Pump - HOUSTON

    at the risk of asking a stupid question... can you overskim? why are you forced to sell it if its too big? Reason I ask is I have a big skimmer laying around that I was going to use on a smaller tank (30gal) until I find a cheap used HOB or something.

    Help identifying pump uses

    I agree with Fast 100%. I bought a brand new return pump when my old little giant died. After everything was up and running I took the little giant apart and found the impeller wrapped itself with chaeto into a solid mass. cleaned the whole thing and it works like a champ. I also don't run a...

    Yay! :)

    if it got sucked into a powerhead I am sure some nematocysts were what caused the first wave of death. Anemones don't just nuke a tank when they die, they will rot, as you mentioned, and cause an ammonia spike/cycle or their demise (i.e. meeting a powerhead) causes the tank to crash.

    +1 Erin, the upgrade from a 55 to a 75 is minimal cost wise and you won't regret it. Alex

    I learned very quickly in this hobby that you can't keep track of expenses or you will drive yourself crazy.
