Re: setting up a fish-only aquarium: a beginner's guide

Hey...


Thanks, yeah I see what you mean now, marine aquariums aren't as complicated as I thought, it's just a bit more challenging than I expected. I was really confused at first, but now it's starting to make sense.

I feel a bit silly now, I remember what chlorine is, my mom always told me not ...

Re: setting up a fish-only aquarium: a beginner's guide

Hey...

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate the help. So, I'm getting it right, a normal tropical fish filter is gonna produce a lot of nitrates in a saltwater tank? I have this weird filter system, it's glued to the inside of the tank with some kind of silicone, I'm guessing it's similar to other ...

Re: setting up a fish-only aquarium: a beginner's guide

hey...

I'm not sure how to determine if my filter is suitable for fluxiouate filtration - is it something specific I should look for when choosing a filter? Also, you mentioned I could forgo the protein skimmer if I'm willing to do larger water changes, but how big are we talking? Would it be 10 ...

setting up a fish-only aquarium: a beginner's guide

So I'm looking to set up a fish only saltwater tank, and I've heard it's a lot more straightforward than keeping a fish-liverock or reef tank. Apparently, I won't have to worry about things like phosphate and calcium levels.

I'm basically starting from scratch here, so I'd really appreciate it if ...

Re: Is too much light hurting my corals?

I've kept them on the bottom, and the ones that are faded are in shaded spots too. I haven't really moved them around, figuring they might be getting too much light already, and anywhere else I put them would just be more of the same.

Is too much light hurting my corals?

Hi all, simple question here.

I've got a single 250w Radium 20k 16" above my 60 cube. The colors on my SPS look amazing, but my LPS are looking pretty washed out. They're all near the bottom of the tank, which might be part of the issue.

My orange fungia and Miami Hurricane chalice are doing ...
