Kole and tominI tangs are the best suited for smaller tanks.

Drilling is always the best option but they are diy pvc overflows and hob overflow. If you choose an hob overflow just remember to keep it clean or it will clog.

Live aquaria is pretty good tool to find the min. Size tank and it says a 50 gallon minimum and I have seen one in a 55 g many times in various lfs’s DT. There cool animals but They just don’t interest me so that’s all I can say with any credibility.

Looks like you guys beat me to it lol.

I’ve used those sun sun wave makers on a turtle tank in the pass and the suction cup on those really suck.they have good flow but those cheap cups really turned me away from using them. I might have gotten unlucky but just sharing my experience with them.

No matter how good your tap water its still not sw ready as you know you need pure water. You raise salinity with water changed but since you have tap I would empty the tank with rodI mixed water. But to raise salintiy you preform water changes with an elevated leve like for example 1.030.

Dip the coral and see if the gha moves on. I use coralrx pro on every new frag I get. Give it some time and you’ll have a clean frag.

Since your tank is a nano water changes will be what keeps your system going but in an eventual reef you need 3 essential things 1)good flow 2)good water chemistry 3) good lighting so... 1: a jebao is pretty good inexpensive brand of wave makers and so is the koralia line don’t bother with...

Good choice to start but for a reef tank you will want to get a wave maker as flow is the backbone of a reef. My first coral would be a zoanthid or a Duncan coral as their are relatively fast growing and hardy. Question #2 what’s your budget so people can recommend you to some equipment.

I know you are excited about your new salty tank but tap water is not the proper way to go as it's too unsafe (and causes alage too)for a marine enviorment. I see your into coral and that's were the fun starts. To start it off, yes saltwater is expenisve and a reef even more. Do you have a small...

Check out the brs 52 weeks series on YouTube it will give you info on most topics on a reef tank.

Times like these are what makes me wanna move to Texas

I really hope the one that happened today was the main one

This is getting kinda scary

Update the guppies and swordtails are enjoying life

Honestly in the OC it wasn’t much the only reason I knew it happened was because I was near my tank.

Was doing a water change on my reef and was looking at my coral when I saw everything swaying back and forth like it would in the ocean with powerful waves my first thought was “are my wave makers really that powerful ?”.until it started shaking a little harder I noticed the earthquake.

I also suggest getting a rodI as using tap water is generally unsafe in a marine aquarium and will cause algae and headaches.

Get a refractometer as a hydrometer is unreliable. Quick question are you using rodI water?

I'm not too famailar which particular type of paly/zoa has more of the toxin but I have heard the brown palys are what really hit the hardest but you should be fine unless you start cutting them up into pieces.
