  1. anyone who read my last post now knows that the stand I have my 55g on is about to give. I took mark and mikes advice and contacted dave for a new stand. I ended up getting this monster stand and canopy that should look great. It's a little rough but with some paint and new hindges it'll be perfect. So my question is how should I make the switch. Should I drain my whole tank. Drain half and then move it. Take all the rock out and drain? I'd like to disturb as little as possible. I have several sps and montis I don't want to risk damaging. I'm also worried about the fish. Should I try and catch them and then move the tank? Any help or ideas are wellcome thanks

  2. my cheap *** stand looks like it's on the verge of collapsing. This can't be safe.If anyone has. A tank stand canopy or all three for a good price please let me know. Doesn't have to be a 55g set up just want to make sure that it's 48inches long so I can use my same fixtures. Please let me know thanks

  3. Update: the mandrin lives! I just now spotted him he seems well I have tons and tons of pods in my tank so I'm sure that he'll have ample food. I have a coral beauty, two anthias two clowns and a neon gobbie. Are any of these fish a threat to the madrins food source.thanks guys

  4. the brand is the trap. if anyones breaking down a tank or needing to catch a fish in your tank. This is perfect. I'm only asking 25 for it. I paid 50 a few months ago. I'm open to trades as well. Lmk thanks.

  5. how hard are they to acclimate and keep? I picked one up yesterday and by the evening he loooked like he was gonna croak. Haven't seen him today. All my others are great and the gobie I bought yesterday looks fine too. Water parameters are all bueno what gives. Could I have just got a bad fish.

  6. I would. I have a prism an was relieved to get a new one. I just need to get a sump going to hook it all up. Those prisms are a pain in the ***. I'm constantly taking it apart to clean it. It either runs wet or not all sometimes. Goodluck.

  7. I have a hob red sea pro skimmer, I set it up around 11 today am. And all it does is make pumping noise and foam, but not in the collection cup, the water will not successfully suck in continuously, it just kind of pumps up and down, any help ? Please

    i had the same problem does ur cup have the two little barbs to conect to on it? if so your supposed to conect to the left till the chamber fills about 10-15 sec then move hose to the right barb once the inlet chamber fills. I have a prizm too i had somewhat of the same problem. Dunno if this helps any.

  8. just wanted to post some tank shots let me know what you guys think. tried to put them in the members gallery but was having trouble. It keeps telling me i need to place them in a different category. Im open to any ideas on placement or anything really. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks for looking

  9. sorry i didnt call you today gabe i decided to hold off on the skimmer. Im going to wait till i get a sump. The pump for the skimmer is way to big and ugly for my 55. I did get two more t5s in my tank and it does look pretty sweet. it was nice meeting you monday. the pump helped in the tank too thanks

  10. I just got some t5 retro kits to add to my set up. I curently have 2 actinics and 2 10k in a current lighting fixture. The bulbs that came with the retros are blue and then atinics what combo would help corals to grow best. i added two more retros to my canopy. I justy need to know what kind of bulbs to use now. 2 more actinic? or two more blue? or one blue one actinic? Thanks guys
