  1. Well i took some pictures of my tank setup.... hoping to pick up some more Live Rock this week. Let me know what you guys think.... also about my filter do you guys think it is sufficient enough??? i got a larger one its for up to a 50gal tank. I just don't want it to be nitrite factory like some say the Bio Balls are...

    Thanks

  2. Ya im trying to setup cheap and make the wife happy before i go crazy..lol.......Im still trying to fiqure out the whole plumping into the sump and what i have to use for filtration exactly... Im a DIY type of guy and its also more fun saying i built that rather than i installed that...

     

    I know its only 5lb but im looking for some more on thisI heard that the LR shouldn't be to close to the glass..... how close is to close? also what are some good fish or inverts to start off with???

     

    Thanks again Im glad i found a site like this one....

  3. I would be interested too but think i need to get my lighting setup first.... currently running the big t12 bulbs setup... maybe ill check in a few weeks once i get better lightning

  4. Hey guys

     

    Had a question... I got a 30gal tank and its getting a little crowded I was wondering if i could run everything out of a 5gal bucket including my Marineland Penguin filter and heater and soon my protein skimmer??? I guess it would be like a Sump type of thing.... Sorry if it sounds like a real NOOB question but thats cause it is..lol....

  5. Thanks Drew..... I need to keep reminding myself of that cause I got a 4 yr old that keeps saying..."daddy lets go get the fishy" And im a sucker for my girls they got me in the palm of their hand...lol

  6. Thanks guys.... I came across this forum on google... Im picking up a 50 gal tank tomorrow and start setting that up as well... I got a few question about how to get everything going from protein skimmers to how to maintain the tanks but i wanna do a little reading thru the sight first and im sure i'll answer some of my question... so far Ive just had trouble with my tank getting really cloudy very easily.. Im thinking its cause of the light sand i have mixed in with the live sand, does this happen normally and i just need to give it time to settle? thanks
