i was watching my damsel swim through my tank it swam over some of the live rock and this lime green juice was expelled into the water and disapated what is this ? i can't see what did it as it is on the otherside of the tank that is against the wall. is this potentially a hazard?

Thank you for input and advice...was wondering about light source,even thought bout some type of clip light up top for it...really doubt it would be enough. But if the rubble will be better then the bio-bale then will be changing that out soon. And again Thanks

Thanks for writing was just curious to hear ideas on this considering the rock rubble wouldnt be getting really in light source.

anyone have any ideas on this. Thank You

Thanks...but im asking if this may benefit at all or have negative effect on helping the system.....just an idea greatly appreciate any input on this. Thank You

Bakpak up and running and ive read on hear that it takes time to break in. As in example the million micro bubbles i have in my tank right now , but also it seems to be foaming but the foam just isnt coming all the way up the tube and into the cup and when it does it basiclly turns to water. So...

Just set up new tank and need advice on the skimmer. Its a bakpak and my ?s are how high or low should the cup sit and any advice on ideas on adjusting the skimmer itself. Thank you for any input, and will post pics soon and really cool after being setup for a hr already have things moving.

Just a quick ? For a 55ga is there any easy basic corals that dont require strong lighting, and or some that may be simple enough with just one bulb, if there is what wattage does it need to be. Thank yoy for any info and help

I saw this similar ? on one of the other boards but didnt want to break in to the middle of it. The ? is the tank will b a 55 and of course w/ the water and rock sand etc....u know the weight will be a decent amount. Well heres the ? is my house is 103yrs old and the tank is set up on a outer...

Looking to buy skimmer coming up next week, looking more for cpr or red sea prizm due to the fact at this time only have bout 4in space behind tank and wall.Also im in St.Louis area and will pay shipping. Thank you

Just got in some of my hardware for my tank and some of it was the powerheads and i ordered a couple flo rotater heads to go on them. Well just to check them out i put one together and threw it in my fw tank and surprisinly it wasnt moving that fast. And yes the phs are maxi flowing 160gph. But...

Ok i keep reading and reading especially from these threads and now ive got more questions. I honestly dont like the idea of having the rock directly on the glass and then adding sand, i understand the deadspot problem but would it hurt to have some sand there just because of the fact of the...
