My son has a marine tank set up and has some new fancy lights (sorry, can't be more precise than that) and would like to put them on a timer. He has everything plugged into a bar plug (extension cable) and has been looking at the electronic timers, but they say that they are not reccommended to...

If I was to setup a tank for the purpose of growing some coral cuttings what would my lighting be and how deep should the tank be ?, I was hoping to stick with fluro's and a shallow tank for now as it's cheaper to run.

I bought a few kilo's of base rock the other day and some more live rock from the one shop, I was wondering what the expected time would be to see these base rocks getting signs of coraline alge. For the lighting in the tank I changed from duel daylight fluros and 150watt metal halide to 4 hagen...

Just courious as to what everyone prefers? I like bottom but it looks like most are top posting. Just thoughts not a flame war.

Ok. Please try to bear with me, this is going to be long... I am in the planning stages of a new reef setup and I'm trying to get a handle on some plumbing concerns. Before I ask a potentially dumb question, here is my plan thus far: 75 Gal. AGA with their new "MEGAflow" overflow rated at 600...

I aquired a small crew of snails (Margarita snails) and they seem to be having a great deal of trouble getting around on the sub. They tear around just fine on the glass and LR, but when they are on the bottom (aragonite) they seem to get hold of one piece of sub, then can't go any further....

I have been having Ca troubles for quite sometime now. This past weekend I decided to test Mg and it was quite low ~800 ppm... :o Started dosing Mg tonight, Tech-M. The instructions dictate 1 ml / gallon of water everyday until you reach the target amount of 1250-1350 ppm. (This will raise the Mg...

Just got a Nautilus TE recently and there is very little info about getting it tuned. With my Prizm it told you to adjust so the lower level of bubbles came up to the o-ring around the chamber. Nothing like that with my Nautilus. I decided to adjust it so I was getting some "stuff" in the...
