    210 not level on stand

    Little update. I got the plywood on top of stand and level. Then a little OCD kicked in because the stand was about 1/32 from fully level so I took the tank off again moved the stand because I wanted to switch from the pads under the 135 sump to a scrap piece of the plywood sheet since I have...

    210 not level on stand

    I've read a lot on multiple forums. Lots of mixed opinions. But, I decided to slow down. I'm cutting the plumbing and I'll take the tank off stand and put it on the floor on 2x4s upside down to leave some plumbing in tact. Then punch holes in the plywood I just bought for the pvc and go that...

    210 not level on stand

    No the back left corner is not touching. Ideally I should put plywood under the tank and shim that. But I'm not sure why shimming the plywood to tank is any different than putting wood between tank and stand to fill the void.

    210 not level on stand

    Nothing helps true things out like 3000lbs right? After sleeping on it that's the plan. Add some water and see if the wood straightens out.

    210 not level on stand

    I built a stand a couple weeks ago for my 210. I leveled the stand when I put it in place and then checked it again after putting tank on. Its level all areas on top of tank. So I plumbed it up today and was doing some cord management and noticed a gap on the back left corner. A little less than...

    New to salt. Stock ideas.

    WC arent really necessary. A good skimmer and fuge light is all the nutrient export you need. Then you can test and dose the rest of the elements. I haven't done a WC in months. I do one big one a year. Of around 60% or so.

    Would this light work on a reef tank?

    Look into the mars aqua. I have 2 of the 165 over my 75 and 1 over my 40 frag tank.

    Water change prep

    That's a big complaint with IO. It kinda sucks. It takes forever to clear up and the foundation elements for a reef tank are all over the place. I switch to fritz about a year ago and never looked back. It mixes clear instantly

    Water test

    Those parameters are pretty much irrelevant for saltwater. Ammonia and nitrite go away very fast and nitrates dont effect SW fish, it can be well over 100 and be fine. Is it a reef tank or FOWLR? Also you never want to touch PH in saltwater

    New to salt. Stock ideas.

    You will be much happier with the 180 for sure. I have a 75 and like that a lot. Easy to dose and all that, its sps dominant with a 55 sump and soon a 40 breeder frag tank on the same water. I've been on a few forums and think reef2reef is the best by far. Make sure you QT ALL fish that go in...

    What yall think?

    Also check out the fluval evo 13.5 tank and other all in ones if that's what you're going for. Try to find one that's designed for a reef.

    What yall think?

    Go with a jebao pp4. Not that power head you have there. I have that one and it crazy strong. Also it's a sanction cup and you dont want that in salt water. And it's also HUGE. I use it to mix up water change water in a 20 gal. Trash can.

    Opinion On Beginner Corals

    Kenya tree spread like crazy, wouldn't recommend them. Euphyllia can all touch each other (hammer, torch, frogspawn) but will sting other corals. Zoas are awesome, there are 100s of kind and new ones every few months pop up. I have 15 different kinds of zoas. The ones with the most potent sting...

    frontosa gibberosa moba

    Right now they are in a 135 but I am in the process of setting up a 210 for them. Been busy at work so it's not going as fast as I'd like.

    frontosa gibberosa moba

    Fronts are great. I have 6 mpimbwe blue, 2 Male 4 female. I also agree with the not messing with PH. I think it causes more harm than good. I have had many arguments with people about this and my choice of stock. 6 fronts, my Male OB and his 2 females, 1 oscar, 1 blood parrot, leopard leaf fish...

    Salt water running in house?

    The salt in the softener doesn't come into the house. It's used to clean the resin that is in the canister. It runs saltwater thru to flush the resin and drains out of the back.
