    WOW! Refractometer vs Hydrometer (New people read!)

    Just wanted to point out that the difference that the 5 gallons made was not that drastic with respect to what your intial SG was. If this is in your 75 gallons, than the initial SG was 1.025. The point still remains, in that Refractometers are more accurate than Hydrometers.

    A few pics of my nano.

    That's awesome, I love the Sun Corals. Is it a problem to the Sun Coral if the clown hosts it?

    how do fish....

    I thought that Ich, being a parasite, was not out to kill the host but rather live off of it. I also thought that Ich does not kill the fish, but rather the secondary infections they get from the prasite eating at them. I also thought that when a specific fish has successfully thrived past an...

    sump question

    I am setting a sump that it's a 20 gallon tank (24"L x 16"H x 12"W). I was wondering about how to figure what is the maximum flowrate that I can run on this size tank. Well if there is a way to figure that out, that is. Thanks for any help that can be provided.
