Thanks for the reply!!

I haven't cleaned anything in the sump yet. But looks like I need to clean out the bottom, etc. I will the bio-balls as they are. I can't really find a consensus on what to do with the bio-balls, so I guess the best bet is to just leave them alone. I will siphon out the sum and try to scrape...

I have a 90 gal Oceanic with a 20 gallon sump. I have a skimmer in my sump....along with Bio Balls. My question is do you ever need to "clean" your sump?? My phosphates are a little high and for the life I cannot seem to figure out why? I use DI water and it tests fine....never use tap. I...

I am actually stumped where mine are coming from to be honest. I feed every other day and change my water about every 2 week (10% approx). I do not have a fuge.....have a wet/dry with Bio Balls. Now the bio-balls appear to be clean. For the life of me I cannot find a census on whethe or not...

I have the same issue.....being the red fuzzy algae in my 90 Oceanic. I also have a little of the dark green "fuzz" along with it. I have had hair algae in the past......this is more like a peach fuzz...ha! My phosphates are around 1-1.5 I believe. I know I need to strive for zero. I have...

Hello Everyone!! I have a 90 gallon bowfront that has been establishedabout 3 years. I have had VHO (4)for the entire time, but am looking to go with MH due to getting more into coral and I just bought a clam. The clam is about 8 (approx) inches from the top of the tank. I believe my VHO's may...

Interesting...... I had one on it early last week and I knocked it off thinking that it would be bad for the sponge.....guess not Sean

Hello everyone! I purchased an Orange Tree Sponge last weekend....it is doing great. However, I have been battling a little algae problem (higher phosphates.....was gone on a trip for a few weeks). The phospates are now again under control and the algae is dieing off the rocks, etc. Some of...

Hello All!! I have only made a couple of posts....but been sing the site for about 3 years (the age of my setup. I have a 90 Gallon bowfront with a sump and skimmer. We finally decided to try coral again so we bought a couple. My question is this. To feed DTs or Marine Snow, I believe I...

Thank you for the reply. I agree that water has me worried. I cannot find any place that water is coming over, etc. The stand is dry......not warped (just looked). If this really is leaking, this is going to be a pain. I believe that my tank is guranteed for 5 years (the good part).....but what...

I have a 90 gal Oceanic Bow front that is about 2 years old (maybe a little over). I bought it new and it has never been moved (other than bringing it home). For about the last 6 months I have noticed salt residue occasionally around the bottom of the tank (actually the black plastic strip...

WOW!!! Isnt the 150 like 27 inches tall?? I mean mine is pretty tall.....so you ust have a deeeeeeeeep sump :D I have put a sponge under it (the one that came with the sump.....basially stood it up straight and it stays). This is only temp until I can get to my LFS....which is in Oklahoma...

Here is a pdf of the manual I found :) http://www.marineland.com/products/m...one_manual.pdf I hate to ask a stupid question.....but in the search that I did you guys mention taking off the HOB attachment. What is this? Thanks!!! Sean:D

Thnaks for the replies everyone. I will go search and see if I can find the piece you are talking about. As far as putting the 150 in sump. The directions say it can be used in Sump and even give directions to do so. The setup is easy.....the 150 itself just seems a little tall.......and...

I have a 90 gal Oceanic with a 20gal sump. I bought a Sea Clone 150 to utilize as a protein skimmer. Keep in mind I have only been doing this for about 6 months :D So, here is my question(s): I put the 150 in the sump as stated in the directions and it seems to be working....but I have two...
