I had quite the Aptasia farm before I knew what was going on......we thought it was pretty at first....haha I used a few different methods....nothing worked. The shrimp got full after the first 100 they ate The only thing that worked was aptasia X. The suckers literally swelled up in seconds...

Thanks for the reply!!! Sorry for the delay......work has been crazy. Well, right now I dont have any coral, etc.....just 6 fish, hermits, peppermint shrimp. I have a lot of live rock (sorry unsure of the exact amount. My tank just does not appear to be as bright as I would like. I guess I...

Anyone ??

What lighting do you use and do you use the canopy? I have an 90 gal bow and am looking to go to MH with the original canopy.

I have had my aquarium set up and going now for about 6 years. Some ups....some downs .....just like everyone I guess. I have went from VHO to Compact Flourescent (Coralife 2 65w white and 2 65w actnic). I am dissapointed in the lighting of the aquarium with the current setup. It looks...

One item that I forgot to mention it that I have a chiller as well. I am assuming that I need to balance the flow rate with having a chiller......due to a possible freeze up if I dont have the water flowing fast enough through the chiller? Sean

Hello Everyone! I just got a new refugium after much thought and reading many posts on here.....very good stuff. My tank (90 gal) has been up for about 2.5 years and has had (up until tonight) a wet/dry sump. My question revolves around how do I know what flow rate to utilize? I put a valve on...

That may be what I have to do......guess there are no other places in the DFW area to buy these things....haha! Thanks for the reply!!

Hello Everyone!! I am unsure if this is allowed on this board, but I need a recommendation on where to purchase a refugium in the DFW area. I am from Southern OK but travel to DFW quite a lot to fly out of DFW airport. If this is not allowed on this board please accept my apologies. My email...

No problem!!! I will just wait for the night crew to come on...haha!!! ***) Sean

Thanks for the reply. I do have a skimmer in my sump right now......its been in for about a year. Seems to do a good job. I have to empty about every weekend. It is only about 1.5 to 2 inches full, etc. As far as the bulkhead......if you mean amount of water. I have a 90gal...but has approx...

Any thoughts :help:

OK..... I really appreciate all of the help I have been getting on here....so here goes another question. Brief background. I have a 90 Gal Bowfront with a Oceanic sump (and stand). The tank has been up for about 3 years. I have had outbreaks of hair algae off and on...more on the on . I...

Thanks for all of the replies....really. I am sitting at DFW aorport waiting on a flight to Orange County. I will post my food (mind went blan) when I land (after I call my wife...haha!!) :joy: I feed every other day and also feed frozen shrimp along with the dry food about every 4 days. I feel...

Thanks for taking the time to type that reply......really apprecaite it!

Is it hard to keep your fuge clean with the sand?....meaning how often do you have to clean it and how? Actually I am tempted to get rid of them if my phosphates dont go down in a few days after I cleaned the sump and half of the bio-balls. They are at about 1 (last week). I will test tomorrow...

Did you remove the bio-balls? If so is that where you put the pre-filter? Also, last question....do you have the Oceanic Sump? Sean

After re-reading your post, I may be mistaken, you may not be asking me to remove the bio-balls. Also, you say to put a polyfilter where the water leaves the bio-balls chamber. I have one now on the top tray where the water goes in but where the bio-balls leave the chamber is under water. I...

I appreciate the reply, but I am VERY nervous in pulling out my bio-balls. There seems to be more on this board and many more on other boards that advise againstpulling them out. Now, I have never cleaned them, so I did pull half out and clean in DI. I cleaned the sump (what a job)...had to...
