By the way, it's hanging on the back, not in a sump. So I recently acquired a coralife super skimmer rated for 65g, and assembled it by following the directions. I don't see an error. It's been roughly a week, and it should have broken in by now, but it's still not skimming. It's just water, no...

Thanks :)

Hey, my zoanthis have some white dots on them, and I think it's zoa pox. I read that an iodine dip can be an effective treatment. I have a bottle of kent marine iodine supplement. Could I get some instructions on how to use it to treat zoa pox? Information online doesn't seem very clear. I'm...

I bought a sponge filter for my quarantine tank, and I threw it into the 55g display tank to seed it. How do I know when the sponge filter has seeded enough?

The pump says Rio 110 HOB filter....110 GPH. I don't see that as an option....

I need a new impeller for my rio skimmer. I found a site that has them, but I have no idea which size impeller I'm supposed to choose. I tried researching, but I couldn't find an answer. Can somebody please help me figure out which one of these rio impellers works for a rio nano skimmer? Heres...

I see....well that explains the importance of quarantining a new specimin.

Okay thanks, no butterfly. But I'm still wondering....why do so many sources say that the heniochus is a hardy species, if no butterflies are hardy? Is this just an opinion?

I recently lost a heniochus butterfly, due to my failure to quarantine the specimin. I think the heniochus has a certain elegant/fancy look to it, one that really makes an aquarium look like "oooh, saltwater." I'd like to achieve that again. However, I'm not entirely sure that I'd want another...

There's a new rockscape...should I remove the divider and see what happens?

I’ve had a Lemonpeel angel in my 55g fowlr for quite a while now. I recently introduced a small Tomato Clown, but the Lemonpeel immediately started chasing it around the tank. To prevent further stress, I put in a divider. However, I do not like the look of the divider, so I’m wondering….if I...

Thanks for the PM, slice. It did work, and it even collected some of the bad stuff... but it was difficult to get it running.

For those of you who have experience with the Rio nano skimmer... There's this white stick that goes into the needle wheel impeller. I'm not sure what this is called, but it's visible in this diagram. Anyway, mine is broken, and for the skimmer to work, I need to replace it or find something...

Thank you, your advice is really helpful. Sadly, there was nothing we could have done for the angler by the time we realized he was sick. We're pretty sure it was a bacterial infection, probably from hitting himself on one of the rocks in the tank. Quote: Originally Posted by saxman *sounds...
