That tank looks great man. I hope the move goes good i just moved into my first house and i know how it is moving is not fun at all. What size tank are you thinking about upgrading to. -Chance-

Thanks man for the suggestion i also like the blue color for the tank. Whatever will help those colors. Do you think you might be able to post up a pic of what your tank looks like with your bulbs thanks again. -Chance-

here is mine nothing that great but i like it.

Thanks man for your suggestion i did take a look at that skimmer and it looks very nice. I had to tell my wife and mom what i wanted for xmas last night so i didnt get to research it before telling them what i wanted. I did decide to go with the super reef skimmer by octopus. I hope that i will be happy with it i herd great review about the bubble blaster pump. Also i should be getting a RO/DI set up from bulk reef supply, and a nice magnet called the Piranha has replaceable pads and it floats. Then from Premium Aquatics a Finnex titanium heater with a inline display and temp prob, and to top it off a refractometer. Well this is if i get what i asked for hahaha. This weekend i plan on building a stand for the tank. Its only a 36" tank but im going to build a stand that is 48". Im doing this because i want to be able to fit everything under the stand. Such as the sump, dual Reactors, and a maybe 15 gallon tank for frags that will be hooked into my sump. I guess we will see what happens. Any suggestions are welcomed thanks. -Chance-

Hello everyone. Well i havent posted on here in a while due to selling off all my old tanks and buying my first house. Now that im getting settled in the new house its time to start up another reef tank. My good friend was nice enough to give me his old 38 gallon tank with a DIY 20 sump. So far all i have is the tank sump, and yesterday i bought the lights for it. I got a very slightly used Current Extreme Pro T5 fixture. Its 6x39 watt, just need to get some new bulbs for it. With good parameters what types of corals do you think i could keep with this fixture. The tank measures 36 long, 12 deep, 20 tall. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Next question im looking at two protein skimmers and wanted to get some input on them as well. The two im looking at are the Super Reef Octopus 1000,and Octopus Needlewheel 110. I know that the super reef is better than the NW110. My real question is will i get that much better of performance with the bubble blaster pump compared to the 4" needlewheel. Im trying to keep cost down but i am try to get descent equipment at the same time. Thanks for any help or suggestion will post a few pics up tomorrow. Not really much at all to see now but i would like to start a build log of my tank so i can have something to go back to and look at. -Chance-

Thanks man for all the info sorry above o think I typed it wrong it's 12 inches wide 36 long not sure how deep. Thanks for the info about spacing will check that out.

Hey thanks man will check them out now

so my friend is giving me a 38 gallon tank with 20 gallon sump. The whole led thing is new to me but I def love the look and idea of them. I was wondering if you guys could help point me in the right direction with what I should go with. For christmas my mom is going to vet the light for me. I would like to keep a 14k to 20k color to it. The thing is I don't know if I should go with the diy kits or get the pre made ones for standard light fixtures. I def want to do the one that will save me money. I think if I were to go with the diy kits I will be fine I'm into Rc cars and airplanes. So I have done my fair share of soldering. If you guys could link some good stores to deal with or kits you would suggest that would be great. The tank is about 36 long and 12 deep. I would like to be able to keep sps and lps. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Also if you guys have twitter add me I just set one up Reefer1985

Very nice pics. Cant wait till i get better

If your talking about the flatworms. In the pics you can see on some rock and coral little oval like red things they are the flatworms

I have also herd that you have to target feed them. The other downfall i hear is they are not always open. Dont hold me to this its just what i have herd.

Thanks for the heads up. I know i need to get rid of them not hurting anything now. All i have done for it so far was to get a sixline to help cut down on them.

Got board a few nights ago and took some pics tell me what you think. Still a newb but i think i got a few good ones. Comments = and - welcome. Reef Pics

Here is my 40 breeder its still very young tank, only started 4 months ago. Still have alot to add, but im still fighting my nitrates. Anyway comments are welcome.

thats what i was thinking great thank you

I know these are zoa but not sure whats the specific name. The non scientific name. Would be great help thanx And also what aussies are these Thanks again

See i dont even know how you found that out. I really need to learn alot more

Wish i could help all i know is when my nitrates rose my sps started turning a pale color. I wish you the best and hope they pull through

I do like the six line wrase almost bought it a few times they also have a 12 line at the LFS that looks nice too

Im going to have to look them up to see what they look like thanks for the suggestion looked them both up kinda like the starry

I was thinking about a tank because ti does fit everything im looking for, but am a little worried that i wount be able to keep him long. As for corals i have softies, LPS, and a few SPS if you need specific name just let me know

I would like eveyones opinion on what fish i should add to my 40 gallon reef. As of now i have a false clown, yellow headed jaw, Map angel, and a pair of coral banded shrimp. I am having a hard time deciding on my next fish considering it will probably be the last i add to this tank. I am looking for a fish that wont be hiding alot, and add some more movement and color to the tank. Also i would like to pick a fish that would be beneficial in some way. Would love to here your guys recommendations. Thanks, Chance

Thanks for the heads up man but my phophates are at 0

I just picked one of these up today and it seems very healthy. I was just curious if my false clown might host in it. Thanks for any reply will post pick if requested

I have just realized that one of my heaters in my sump popped, and could have been sitting in there for a long time rust was built up. Could this have caused my high nitrates
