thankyou! Ill look "em up. This small piece of LR was on its side unitl I found the growth so I turned it over and fed it.

So I noticed new growth on my live rock.. Thought it was eggs but then i noticed it had purple flesh under the white balls. I fed a small piece of food and it ate it swell ing to whatyou see here. I think it looks like a single polyp of a Zoa? I am very curious if anyone has seen anything like...

THanx for the response well I don't have any damsels. Maybe the star is going thru some shock in its new tank? But I cant explain where the lmb is. Unless he jumped! but Ive had him for a solid month and he has been fine. Maybe he jumped cuz he didn't care for the star i cont buy it...

Ok so i purchased a black brittle star and it arrived yest. Very cool looking creature but when I got home today I went to feed it and noticed one of its legs was gone! I moved on to feeding my chromis and i realized i was missing a fish! My lm blenny usually would trail my chromis and eat their...

ok so i am looking at a factory refurbished spectrapure rodi-90. i think ill have to call them though and find out how I can hook this up to my faucet, im in an apt and dont want to start messing with the plumbing if I can help it! What do you think? Good system? Its on sale right now...

yes I would like to add corals. Originally I wanted this to be a reef tank. I think I see where you are going with this. Should I do... RO/DI unit, protein skimmer, and wet/dry if I want to add corals? This makes sense to me now. Thank you Mr. Limpid. Do you by chance happen to know any names of...

Hello everyone!! So I have a twenty gall long tank and am getting ready to purchase some more gear. Right now I have a emperor power filter, 30 lbs of live rock, 20 live sand and 20lbs of crushed coral/shell aggregate. I tried to make a protein skimmer but my air pump was not powerful enough so...

so far no corals. Just a LM Blenny, Green Chromis and cuc (pep shrimp, snails, hermits). I think I will wait on the ro/di unit as my lfs is saying they would be glad to test my ro water and im limited on funds. as far as the protein skimmer, Im leaning toward a tunze 9002 in tank unit since my...

right on. I will do that. I would feel silly buying my own for my apartment when i may have access to good water ten mins up the road lol. If everythings good then i can concentrate on a better protein skimmer and my sump build. THanks for the help

So this should (im guessing) be an easy one to answer. I was using conditioned tap water... BIG NO NO!! Do not do like I did. Algae WILL happen! So I started buying ro/di water from the lfs and obviously this water is amazing. my two fish and cuc are happier than ever and my algae has thinned...

ok so i am thinking of getting the Super Nano con Dientes Overflow Box Complete Kit for my 20 long and using my small 15 gallon for a sump/refugium. My question is, can anyone tell me whate I will need to build the rest of the system? Are there any more kits that I can get or misc things...

I think the CPR CS overflow looks nice. What do you think? then i could put a protien skimmer in the refugium and grow some macros. I couldnt find the drilling kits.

thanks a lot thats a lot of info to check out. I really dont want to drill the tank so an overflow box is the only idea i can think of. Is there a kit that goes from an overflow to a DIY sump/refugium?

yeah thats what I relly want to do. Its just the all in one units are cheap and less work. I figure if I build my own it will look a lot better and be WAY more stable as I can hold more water. Do you have any ideas on a good overflow system that wont break my wallet "too" badly?

Ok so I have a 20gal lng tank and also have a 15 gallonsmaller glass tank. I am wondering if it would be better to use my smaller tank and building a refugium/sump in it with an overfow box or if maybe I should just get an all in one skimmer/refugium that HOB. What do you think?

ok so I either am stare waaayy too long at my tank or im amazed (or both) but it seems like my red algae is retreating. I turned the lights on 4 hours on / 20 off and flipped my LR over so the growth would be on the underside. Also did %25 WC with RO/DI H2O. Next I will get some macro (maybe...
