20 Gallon Long Powerhead

Hey Ya'll!

I have a 20 gallon long tank, with 28 lbs of what is now all live rock. I need a new powerhead/circulation pump. Right now I only have a cheap topfin that pushes 118 GPH. Im thinking I need something more around the 400 GPH range. Only a damsel, clown and few inverts right now. Any thoughts on a cheap but good powerhead? Any suggestions are appreciated!!


t5 fixture advice

I am looking to change out my chinese leds for t5's. Does anyone have any advice about fixtures. I know ATI is highly recommended but they are a little out of my price range. I plan on using ATI bulbs regardless of the fixture I get. My tank is 36x18x18 mixed reef. Thank you in advance for your help.

Mushroom Coral Frag Question

Hey Y'all!

Quick question. I know that you can cut a mushroom in half and it will regrow into two mushrooms. What if you leave the frag (already glued to rockwork) and cut it directly in half and leave them attached in the same spot? Will they make two mushrooms, or regrow into one?

I'm asking because I only have the one mushroom frag; and am too impatient to wait for it to naturally reproduce. lol Will cutting it inside the tank be dangerous to other fish? Only have a damsel and clown right now.


Fluval evo V

Good morning everyone! I just wanted to see if anyone on here has an opinion on the fluval evo V nano tank. I'm going to be trading some coral for one almost new and wanted some opinions on the tank. I'm not sure the direction I'll be going with it yet. The light is an 1100k light with whites and blues. Should be enough to sustain most lps and all softies. Can't have too much in there as it is only a 5 gallon tank but it should be fun. I'm setting it up next to my display (75g) reef in a perfect spot for it. Any pictures are welcome!

Hope everyone has a good day. Off to Boston for two weeks.

Cinnabons from the airport and overpriced coffee to offer.


Help

I have had my 125ltr marine set up now since just after February half term. Everything has been text book so far. It cycled fairly quickly and saw the introduction of 2 crabs, 2 shrimp and some turbo snails.
About 3 weeks later we bought 2 electric blue damsels (the male was later returned as he was agressive) and a blue and yellow dwarf Angel. Again everything was fantastic and parameters, checked by me and my LFS were perfect. Then 2 baby clown fish and 1 banana wrasse added taking my total fish to 5. I also now have 3 small coral.
Everything has been fantastic, up to 2 nights ago and we realised we had lost the angel fish, and this morning 1 of the clown fish. Both had been vigorous feeders right up to dying.
I have this morning checked my water (Again all perfect) and done a partial water change with RO water just incase.
Anyone got any thoughts for me? Nothing it standing out at all.
I have a large protein skimmer, and a powerhead. I have a large amount of live rock, and a sand substrate. Temp is stable.
Any advise appreciated.
