Your goal is to turn your water about 10-15 times times each gal. of water. 75g x 10 = 750 gph the maxi-jet 900 are about 250 gph, so like mentioned before you would need 3. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the pic, mine look like dark green balls,like cotton balls. I can't get my pics small enough to post.

anyone

yes, just a shrimp, like shrimp that you eat from the store and that will jump start your cycle.

I agree no bubble wand. Leave the bubbles to your protein skimmer.

They should be ok. Firefish do better if bought in pairs and they also could jump out of tank so have a good closed up tank with not to many openings. Hope this helps.

You could add a Damsel but I would wait until your tank cycles, you may not want a Damsel due to them being a semi-aggressive fish. Distilled Water is better than most tap water however R.O. Water is best. Hpoe this helps and welcome to the board.

Can someone attach a pic of what hair algae looks like. On one piece of live rock I have what looks like moss?

this is a pic of what I'm talking about?

I have a piece of live lock that currently what looks like short grass or moss, is this hair algae? It is only on on piece of rock.

Thanks, The reason why I like advice is because at ***** I bought what they called scarlet but after a month or so they were huge and they started eating my corals. I took them out and brought one to a good LFS and he told me they sold me reg. hermit crabs that are not reef safe!

Thanks, I have a smaller one where the mouth is not that large. I use a turkey baster to get some food on him.

I really am unsure if I want blue leg hermits, let me know if anyone has hade success with them.

waterfaller,what do you feed it?

Anyone else have any advice?
