What lighting are you using? I am setting up a 55g (standard size) and want to do mainly softies, zoas, maybe a few lps. I am having trouble deciding on lighting. I want to stay with T5, but not sure how may bulbs to use. I will be using ATI bulbs.:strooper:

[60G]

Im using a pc aqua lux fixter with 2 125w 50/50 bulbs and there very expensive to replace. just go with the t5s and do 4w per gallon and you will be fine.:thumbsup:

[60G]

I added new corals and moved the rock around hope u like it lol.:lolspin:

[60G]

Well my MCcoskers wrasse got fin rot and died so that sucks i did add a melanurus wrasse and a new clam.

[hatchtjuggal0]

[60G]

[bigronbo]

filling in nice. i had a lot more rock in my 60 then went to a 125gal it has a large rock reef. I( guess more open bottom would be nice but i'll wait till i get what i call my end game tank. 6 foot by 30 inches front to back, 24 tall at the most, don't like 30 " tall

[60G]

thanks the pics are ok but there not great if i had a better camera you could see how nice it really is. Im going to pick up a fiji sun hamilton t5 light soon its 6x54 and it has leds so i cant wait to see how it turns out ill post pic when i get it.:bounce3::bounce2::bounce3::bounce2:

[Bnortz]

Either of the angels nipping at corals? Thinking about getting one

[60G]

Hi every one its been a while i got a hamilton light its 4x65w t5 my tank has gone down hill a lot of my corals have bleached so i took out one of the white lights but i still have bleaching so i think im going to change back to the old light to see if that helps i dont think its the water thats bad its got to be the light its been on the tank for a few months on a better note i got a marine betta thats doing good i have only had it for a few days thow.

[fishcomputer]

hey I know this tank lol.

[60G]

Hi every one sorry its been so long. well i got my alk back in the right rang so my tank is doing a lot better i got a marine betta,crosea clam, and frag of green birds nest hope you like the new pics.

[60G]

here is my betta and clam

Need some cyano attention it seems

[Ruadh]

Very nice!

[60G]

ya idk why i have cyano i do water changes every week and dont over feed.

[Gonzalex]

Doing anything for phosphate and nitrate prevention or removal?

[60G]

no not really i have some phosguard or what ever and it sucks and i have 0 phosphates and nitrites

[Gonzalex]

Well your probably reading 0 phosphates because the cyano is consuming it all. Do you use only RO/DI water for water changes and topoff?

[60G]

yes but i still put AmQuel in just to be sure the bad stuff is out of the RoDI water

[The Punisher]

Cyano can live in low nutrient environments so it's not always a high phosphate issue. I'm currently trying to get rid of a little bit of cyano myself and am currently trying the lights out for 3 days method. It seems to work for most people.
