(55g tank) Looking at replacing my PC lighting with 48" 216 watt Nova Extreme SLR T-5 in order to increase the variety of corals I can keep. I know there are better choices out there but most are out of my price range. Can I keep most types of coral with the new T-5 setup? I want to make sure...
I took a rock out of my tank to kill off some ugly polyps that were attempting to take over. The rock has been out about a week and smells pretty bad. Should I boil it before replacing it or just stick it back in? My tank is a 50g and has been established 3 years. Thanks
I bought a used Remora skimmer and I believe that it's the Nano version. I have the collection cup as high as it will go and it still fills the cup up with mostly water in a couple of hours. Should I replace the MJ 1200 with a 900? Any other suggestions? Thanks
I was given a used remora skimmer recently. It came with a MJ 1200 but it doesn't fit in the elbow that goes into the skimmer. From pics online, it looks like there may be an adapter that I need. Does anyone know where I can pick on up--or are there any other suggestions?
Thanks
I have some dry base rock that I would like to "glue" together to make some interesting shapes. I know that there are some epoxies you can order online but I was wondering if there was something more convenient (ie Wal-mart or hardware store) that would work and be safe. Thanks!
I have a MJ-1200 that I'm using with it and I removed the bio-bale. It's worked fine for several years. Lately, I've noticed that the chamber fills up with mostly water (ie very few bubbles). If I adjust the air intake to fill the chamber with bubbles, the whole thing overflows. I just took...
I broke one of the shoddy little mounting legs so I ordered the adjustable legs. I didn't know that I couldn't use them with my glass lids. Are the lids important enough to find alternate legs or should I just ditch the glass lids? If I keep the lids, any suggestions on an alternative to the...
I bought a zoa frag yesterday at a LFS. I noticed that there are some small striped "arms" coming out of a hole in the frag plug. I'm guessing a star about the size of a quarter. Should I get rid of it or keep it?
I would normally be excited but I just read about some stars that may damage...
