Questions - Need some input

I have questions that need answers.

  1. Structural Question

    Hey so I have a question I need some help with regarding floor support for a second story tank. I am curious peoples thoughts on max size of a tank that can be kept on a conventional framed floor. My house is about 5 years old and I plan to put a tank in my bedroom which is over the garage. The tank will be spanning multiple joists and will be against an outside gable end wall. Any thoughts on the max size I SHOULD put there WITHOUT any additional floor supports in the garage underneath. I have ...
  2. ID this clown?

    The store sold it to me as a black percula... but it only cost $20 and black percs are ususally upwards of $70

    I had my nitrates spike and most of my fish die a few weeks ago.

Well below the 5% accepted return. That's great for drinking water, but 20-30 TDS entering my DI is literally just exhausted a 10" BRS "Nuclear Grade" resin refill within 200 gallons. I am running this filter array:
    5 Micron Purtrex sediment filter
    5 Micron Matrikx+CTO/2
    Carbon Block
    1 Micron

  4. If you have ever kept sps under T5 lighting advice needed

    Well it's me again and again I am having questions about keeping millepora under my lighting. I have had these 4 millepora frags for over a month now and I figured I would slowly acclimate them starting from the bottom up to a higher location in the tank. I have all my brighter colored millepora just under halfway up the tank now but I have a more of a greenish colored one that I can't seem to get off the bottom of the tank. Everytime I moved it up even an inch all of it's polyps retract (I should ...
  5. vortech pump placement and modes

    hey all, i have a 55g reef tank and im currently using a single mp10 to create the flow in my tank for a long time i used it on one end of the tank and it kinda left the other side of my tank dead, i intend to purchase antother one when i get a chance and find a good deal on one. anyways i recently moved the vortech to the back of my tank and about 6" from the surface of the water and dead center in the tank, it seems as of right now that this is the optimum placement for my tank, along with ...
