Its possible he has outgrown my filter systems already, but not the aquarium. He is probably close to 10 inches in length, I picked him up from a fish buisness that installs and does maintence on aquariums at rich houses. Apparently he started eating all the other fish once he grew larger so...

I have a copper test kit, tested water parameters and they read 0. I have cut my feeding to every other day on my Puffer. Basic specs of tank. Set up in August 125 fowlr (65 lbs) 1 large Stars and Stripes Puffer Fish Two Maxi-jet 1200 Powerheads Two Powersweep Powerheads (270gph each) Cora-life...

No sand yet, should I add sand, I just have a lot of small live rock and plants. With a low powered florescent light that I keep on 24 hours.

I think I know why yours works and Mine doesnt. If yours uses a maxi-jet 1200 pump as well (same as the 150) that could be the reason. Sure that pump works great with the 100 because the cylinder isnt as tall and overall is smaller. But with mine its a taller chamber and the pump is to weak...

I will have the water tested at a LFS tomorrow. I use Instant Ocean sometimes and Red Sea others as far as mixing salts go. At the moment I dont have a clean up crew in the display, because my fish being housed is a large stars and stripes puffer. He is the only thing in my display, besides 65...

What do you have the air valve set at on the end of the venturi hose? Also are you using it as a hang-on? Do you have the pre-filter sponge on the maxi-jet. Please list details about it so i can try to pin-pointi what to change to get mine to work. Thanks

I do a water change once a week, 30 to 35 percent. I am confused by your reply about how the water being added is increasing the nitrates each time, is that what you meant by that? My substrate is 2 inch's of sand. Thanks. Edit- I now understand your response, sorry I am tired and its early for...

are the bubbles harmful at all to the fish? I have one of these and it does produce micro-bubbles, but there are not to many of them. excellent skimmer!

The water Circulation should be fine, I was concerned with my Circulation in my aquarium and posted a few days ago about the current being to strong, but everyone replied saying it would be fine and its good excerise/natural for the fish to have to swim with currents. Anyway, I am not very...

First off, if your reading this DONT buy a Seaclone skimmer. They are terrible. I recently purchased the largest Cora-life skimmer and it works amazing! With that being said, I still have the sea-clone running but all its doing is circulating the water. Does anyone have any advice on how to get...

I am having a Never ending battle with my nitrates. I recently purchased an excellent Coralife skimmer which is removing loads of waste but the nitrates are still not dropping fast. I am using sink water (I know I need an RO unit) and I tested the water, its reading 5ppm on the Nitrates. My...

Quick question, I have QT before and know how but I am stumped on this. Do you treat them in Hypo no matter what? Or wait to see if they appear to have an ich outbreak ?

I have not worked with flexible tubing and Have not seen any reef setup's using this. I am sure it will work but may be a little more of a hassle in the long run. The tubing will probably shake behind the aquarium from the water being forced through it and this could make some noise. I...

Great Idea man, I am actually going to be doing that in the next few days. Makes perfect sense considering I have a mag12 for the return. I can see how that produces excellent water circulation, thanks for the tip !

Green Chromis look amazing in schools.

For returning water to my display tank I used PVC pipe, with very strong glue. (so the joints wouldnt come apart). I have had it running for 6 months with zero problems/leaks. I have the pvc pipe enter water back in on both sides. Pics below.

Anyone use these ? Just curious and Hoping I should not have one in my 125 Fish Only because I have had it running for 6 months with a two inch sand bed.

Lol, yeah I just was thinking of something cool to stare at down in the wet/dry. I have a low powered light above my wet/dry because I just added some type of green plants that some guy pulled out of the wet/dry at the LFS. Not sure if it needs to be planted in the sand bed or not, im pretty...

Alright rather than posting a new thread with pretty much the same question here is my next thought. After viewing a lot of full tank shots I notice on the majority of them two very large powerheads, one in the top back left corner, and one in the top back right corner of the aquarium. Seems...
