Does yoyr tank have a sump set up or are you just using the fluval and the hang on skimmer

AWESOME tank man.. really great that youre still enjoying it and it looks this good after 4 or 5 years... question: do you have problems with your dwarf angel nipping at soft corals?

megadeth9438 - 13 years ago

do you ever have any problems with the coral beauty eating your polyps? if you used to because it clearly isn't eatting them, then how did you get it to stop because i wan't one but i keep hearing that they will eat polyps

I have a fluval 305 on my 46 bow also. Is it nessesary to use a protein skimmer as well or can you manage just using the Fluval

hows your prizm skimmer working? mine is kinda stop working after 2 weeks, i mean the pump still pumping but it just not strong enough or something.

Does this tank have canister filter or wet dry setup. Because I have 46 bow with Africans and thinking of doing saltwater but that size tank does not come reef ready and was told not to drill holes in bottom.

How long have you had the yellow tang? Is he big now?

Sean Herman - 14 years ago

What do you use for substrate? I have crushed coral in my 29 gallon, but it never seems to stay clean very long. I am upgrading to a 55 gallon.

cutietwo22 - 14 years ago

so the angefish, does it eat or nip at any of your corals?

cutietwo22 - 14 years ago

has that yellow tang been doing well in there the whole four years you have had it?

dmontalvo15 - 14 years ago

Are you dosing anything in your tank? If so, what are you using?

clickity333 - 14 years ago

clickity333 - 14 years ago

Did you add all your coral as frags 4 years ago?

evanssmall - 15 years ago

Hi, nice tank- I am considering getting a fluval 305 for my 55 gallon tank- how hard is it to set up and maintain? I'm running a regular whisper 60 fitler now and its easy to keep up but I know the canisters are much better...
