Hi, I am thinking whether to have a refugium or not and have been reading up books but still confused
So would like to ask all the experts/senior reefers for opinions. Is a refugium beneficial to mixed reef+fish (mainly Tangs) setup? What is the best way to setup a refugium. It will be great if can post pics of your refugiums. Thank you in advance!

Hi bro, your regal angel does not eat or disturb the corals?! I asked cuz I put in a Elegance and hammer in my tank and the majestic and aspher angels wacked it immediately and killed them. But did not see my regal touching them. Is regal anegl reef safe? Are there any coral reef safe angels? Because of what happened I am thinking of keeping tangs only for my new reef tank. All advise are welcome! Thanks!

Looked up SR to see if I can find something on sump and found your forum! Thanks bro! Cheers!

Any bros selling a 5 ft light set with 2 x 14,000K MH with 4 actinic PL?

I use bioballs in sump but not ceramic rings. Tend to get better result with bioballs than other materials. Some LFS said bioballs is not suitable for marine tank, only for fresh water tank. But I have seen other marine LFS using bioballs for their tanks in the shops! Whatever the theory on bioballs, one thing for sure is they increase the surface area of water and improve air exchange.

Looking for 5ft 2x10-14K MH lights with 4 actinic PL. Anyone selling? Or can exchange for a Hilux 3ft 1x10K MH with 2 actinic PL. Don't need immediately, only in 2-3 weeks. Thanks

Yupe, seafood for them. They wollap my hammer, elegance, octopus recently. Think of not keeping angels just keep Tangs. But angels are so much beautiful and graceful. Good luck!

Need to tap the experts out there. If a fish only tank has copper added before, if it is cleaned and water changed, can the tank be used to keep corals? Any method or chemcial for cleaning? Thanks!

Looking for a used 5-6ft marine tank with cabinet IOS and sump. Any bros selling?
Thanks!
-
Pls let me know if tank is still available. Thanks!
-
bro, how long has it been used?

Sorry no pics cuz no digi cam. Dun worry, all items are in excellent condition and you can see it running. Here are some more descriptions:
Tank - 3 ft x 18 inch x 18 inch. Front side curve edges with no joints.
Hilux single MH with 4 actinic tubes. Less than 6 mths old. Black casing. Exactly 3 ft.
Although I have intended to transfer the fishes over to my 5ft and let go the equipment thereafter, however think it is easier if I start from scratch all over.
So if anyone can buy the whole set with fishes can take it immediately. Pls PM me to arrange to see the tank still running.
Fishes:
1 Powder Blue Tang
1 Yellow Tang
1 Blue Tang
1 Blue lips Angel
1 Majestic Angel
1 Asphur Angel
1 Yellow belly Regal Angel
1 Coral Beauty Angel
2 common clown
1 bi-color blenny
1 yellow stripes (instead of white) red clown
7 cleaner shrimps
1 boxer shrimp
1 red star fish
1 Sally light-foot crab
Live Rocks/Aragonite sand

Thanks bro ervine. Nice tank! Can you list down what go into making your refugium? i.e. what kind of algae? LS? I noticed you have very deep sand. The trick is to have deep deep sand base like 6 inches?
