Moving the water flow through too fast will not allow for nutrient take up (very well anyways) from Macro-Algaes or Mangroves and live rock rubble. I think a flow level thats about 3 times to 5 (times at the most) of your main display would probably be best. In most of my tanks that have...

Wow Sugar Magnolia, that sure looks sweet! I will have to save that one to my desk top for some motivational veiwing! Are you on Coral Forum too?

Yeah reef tanks are kinda cool like that. No mater how old they are, it seems like the more you look at them the more stuff you seem to find that you didnt know you had! I am forever finding stuff that was a hitch hiker or something that I know I didnt buy that just pops up from out of no where...

Thanks Guys, just trying to help out a little when and wherever possible.

Well I am glad that helped a little but please dont think that I covered everything, I just got the high points for the most part. I have been at this hobby for quiet sometime and I have learned a lot and have many nice tanks going, but...I am still learning more everyday! But doing some...

This will be tough to cover in just one post and I am sure that I will leave out lots of stuff as I try to remember everything but maybe someone can jump in and give me some background assistance. Yes you will need all of those things you mentioned for sure. But before going into the details...

Great write up on that DIY project! I have been using the same recipe and a few others for some time now and have sold a lot to local reefers and the LFS. At a cost of about 10 cents a lbs...you just cant beat it!

I found out about this sight from the "Top 250 Aquarium Websites ranking. I thought I would check it out as it couldnt possibly be as bad as another Nano Reef sight I was a memeber of. It seemed like a pretty cool sight so I "rogered up" and joined!

Cyno-Bateria is from nutrient rich water and poor flow. Chemi clean works great but its a band aid on a cut throat, and as such a temp fix at best. The good part about Chemi clean is it will buy you time to do some water chages with RO/DI water, and lower the nutrient levels in the tank...

I realize I am new here (My english isnt so great either) but I have several tanks from a 20 gallon Nano Reef all the way up to a 240 gallon Reef and a 300 gallon frag system. I probably have somewheres in the area of about 800 lbs of live rock. Most of this Live rock was DIY rock. In my Nano...
