  1. Guppy Dave here, I woke this morning to a wet floor and found that my sump has a crack in it. So needless to say I am looking for a new sump that will support my 150 gl tank. I have called around and so far the cheapest is about 270.00 which is not in the budget right now. So I need some help in this. Ideas on how to keep the tank going or some kind of better price. Right now I have it circulating in a plastic container, but don't want to keep it up since there is no filtering going on.

  2. Thanks to all of you great people for the great information. I have just started with salt and I like it so far. I am going to work on the skimmer today and follow your suggestions Brian. I hope to meet some of you or all of you at this months meeting.

  3. Hi all, I have not been a member for long but have a problem with my 150 gallon salt tank. I think I have black algae or some kind of black mold growing. I have a couple of photos attached and hope that you all can give me some kind of help with it. The tank is about a year old and just has the following in it right now. Live sand, live rock, 2 emerald crabs, one large hermit, one small hermit. Three fish (in a photo #4), I have been having an issue with my protein skimmer so it has been on and off. I am not sure if it started after I added some new rock or not (the new rock is in the back of the photos of the mold #5 and #6). I have been patient and really want to get this tank up and running but if I need to do something drastic this would be the best time I think.

    Looking for any help that I can get to fix this.

  4. Hi everyone,

    I have a new 150g salt tank and considering submered LED lighting for it. The T5 that I have now are a real heat issue since I can't hang them from the ceiling and need to have covers on the tank because of cats in the house. I would really like some feedback on this from people here with more experience than myself. Let me know what you think.
