Looking into a RO DI system. I have a fish and coral tank 55G with a 20G sump and a reef octopus. Any advice before I start my search would be very helpful. Thanks! Micah

That's a lot to consider and think about thank you. I will have to start testing for some of those things. All I can tell you at this point is that I had mushroom polyps, mushrooms, richordea, Kenya tree, and green star polyps. Forgive me if any of these names are wrong. I had most if not all...

I was recently reading that protein skimmers will remove essential nutrients for corals. #1 is that factual information #2 what should I be doing/adding to supplement. I did have a massive coral die out around the same time I put in the skimmer but didn't put 2 and 2 together at the time...

Lol, i'm starting to believe you as many people are agreeing with you! :) I'll let you know :)

I'll keep ya posted!

As you can see it is a "dead" rock I just inserted about 1 month ago, you can see the damsel, she won't let anyone near it. The rock is very pourous and they are in the holes

White/clear with a dark dot, getting better looks at them, definently fish

Constant, not every now and then, non stop

I've had the tank 3 years, never noticed them before, I've seen the shrimp in my foam filters, these look more like fish fry, they swim like fish not like shrimp, up down in out, very fast

Hundreds and hundreds, tiny!

I just noticed tiny fish swimming in and out of my live rock!! How exciting!! Here is my question, I have only two species of fish that I have more than one of, Blue damsels and clownfish(which have only been in the tank a month). Which is more likely to be the proud parents?? Thanks!! Micah

Hello, I recently purchased some frogspawn. 2 of the 3 heads/pieces i put in have completely disappeared leaving only the "skeleton" I was just looking at the one remaining and one of the little "hitchhiker" stars abut the size of a dime now, is dangerously close to it and getting closer...

OK! I recieved my Reef Octopus 6 today and set it up and have it running. My questions are these. 1. The instructions say to have the water level below the output tube. Unless I raise the skimmer up about 2 inches by setting it on something the water level is about halfway up the output pipe...

Your are correct flower, thanks! and Thanks!! to everyone else who has commented, you have all been so helpful!
