You have a leak it may ruin the carpet and rot pad underneath. Not only that, I don't know if the carpet will recover from the weight pressure on it for a long period of time. I never tested that. I would look at your carpet as disposable anyway as I doubt it lasts all that long anyway.

Actually, Microwaving can also be used to sterilize the water. There was a report a while ago about sterilizing a sponge. Of course alot of people burned down their micros because they didn't report you had to make the sponge sopping wet before you put it in. Probably would do the same for...

Probably overheated your pump. Some pumps require water to keep them cool. I would definatly look at buying a replacement as it will probably fail sooner or later. Either it misshaped the housing or overheated the internal parts. If you would have had an external pump it might have melted...

Don't look at it as duration. Mine had low nitrates for the first three months. The last two ahve been high. Since then I do weekly water changes and added a refuge with algae. I actually feed less now than I did earlier.

I bought a bunch of Koralias...for my two tanks. It is the last time I buy a bunch of Koralias.... J.U.N.K.

Did you notice if the Flame angel or the Wrasse picking on it? One of the fish might have been picking at it, keeping it closed. I lost two different clams. Also make sure you keep up on trace elements as well and make sure your idodine levels are ok. Nothing like watching a hermit and and...

Too much food!

I agree with dual pendants. 14,000k MHs. That is a tough design to buy a regular fixture for.

That happened to one of mine. Didn't swim much after that...then I found him behind my wet/dry when I did a cleaning. Good luck!

I found that if I move or wiggle my fingers while putting my hand in the tank it keeps her at bay, but sometimes she snuggles up...

The female is the one that does it in mine... My wife was the first one to get her hand bit. I've gotton used to it and get a nibble now and then...actually isn't so bad... My wife is terrified and I call her a big WUSS....

I would most definately place it after mechanical filtration and before the refuguim. But probably not out of the return.

Getting out damsels...how can I discribe it easily... Hiroshima and Nagasaki.... My wife and I tag teamed the buggers and only one survived the tank nuke and is still in there, however, he is constantly picked on by a Bicolor Psudochromis...

Hope you don't have any crabs.... Mine became the midnight snack for an emerald crab

Xenias are tough. One day most of mine decided to tank themselves and only left a little bit on one rock remain. It has survived and is doing better. I would also make sure you keep up on your other tests and trace elements. Also, I've heard through this board about how some think that Xenias...

First was the Dresa, which wasn't doing so well after a while, so that was understandable that it was weakened Next was the Maxima blue.... I will never buy a crab again, except for one dead and on my dinner plate

Nothing better than waking up to you emerald crab and a blue legged hermit polishing off teh inside of your clam.... So goes survival of the fittest. That is what a marine aquarium is.
