    Refugium?

    I refugium is simply a safe place for things to reproduce like macro algea or pods connected to your tank. A lot of people around use rubbermaid containers or old tanks. You can either put the refugium above your tank and pump water up to it then let gravity bring the water back to your tank...

    Watchman goby

    Is two inches of sand enough for these guys. I know DSB should be 3-4 and plan on raising it up to 4 after I move in a couple of months.

    Nitrate jump

    Tanks been setup for 8 mo. To be honest I didn't even look at the number if I had to guess it would be high, haven't seen that color on the kit in a long time used to be a verly hardly noticeable pink and is now a deep purple. By any number it is not good. Skimmers haven't been skimming as...

    Nitrate jump

    I just added a goby last week who has done an excellent job stiring up the DSB. And my nitrates have jumped up. I'm doing a water change this afternoon to. What I'm wondering is if this is common. Goby's are constantly stiring the sand so is this constantly going to be a problem or just a...

    concerned about tank quality!

    I'm starting to notice a little bit of salt coming out from the bottom of the tank like it's seeping out. Do I have a timebomb in my living room?

    refugium idea

    I heard some of you guys on here that have built your own. Does this idea have any legs or what? Has anyone done one w/ the gravity over flow instead of pumping up the return water.
