Great, Two hours of work at playing the mix and match game with pieces for my chiller... Thanks for the advice... Now I have to go find some other place besides home depot.

I recently purchased a 1/4 hp Chiller. The In/Out is 1". I had to convert this size to match my power head so I can pump water through it. I went to Home Depot to get the right pieces. Personally I was looking for plastic parts but could not find the right sizes. The pieces that I found are made...

Thanks for the advice.... I am no longer going to get a 1/10 hp chiller for my 100g reef tank. I've decided to get a Custom Sea Life Power Cooler 1/4 hp. Cost is about 650m, a little more than I'm willing to spend but I guess I have to do it. Is this a good manufacturer for chillers? thanks...

So I guess a 1/10 hp is not good for a 100gallon reef tank in the long run... maybe I should go for a 1/5 hp? any suggestions on which models are the best? thanks

This is what I think I am going for: Pacific Coast CL-280 1/10hp.... *Links to other online competitors are not permitted here. Thanks.* This is probably where I am going to buy it. Please advise before I make this decision.

Hi everybody..... It is getting hot here in California....temperature in my 100 gallon reef tank is reaching the Mid 80's currently at 82. I am looking to buy a chiller but not sure if I should get a 1/10hp or 1/6hp. Read some descriptions from manufacturer's web page and it shows that 1/10hp...

My Tomato Clown jumped out of the tank and dried up. I found him a few days later in the back of tank stand dead. I noticed the temperature of my tannk was high, about 80 degrees. So this is what I did. I went to home depot and bought some window screen. I'm not sure exactly what they are...

I have about 10 emerald crabs in my 100 gallon tank. All of them are about the size of pennies, except for one which is huge ( about the size of a half dollars). I hardly ever see them, but I think they are doing their job. I have zero hair/bubble algae in my tank. I do have a few empty scarlet...

50/50 chance? That is enough to scare me away from buying one. I think I'll play it safe and stay away from the flame angel. To bad that is one of the prettiest fish around.

So i went to the local fish store to buy a flame angel for my tank. I think flame angels are one of the prettiest fishes around. I always thought they were safe for a reef tank. So the owner at the lfs tells me flame angels are not safe for reef tanks, that they pick on coral, may eat small...

Done...I did i this weekend. I re-designed all the live rocks in my tank, now when I look at it looks good. This is what I did: 1) Take a look at all my rock and get a mental image of where they will be. Even draw it out if you have to. 2) Get a big tub of rubbermaid to store you life rocks. 3)...

Good idea... Thanks

No Coral.....

Aqua scaping... Yeah.... I just don't like the way the tank looks anymore.... mostly everything is in the front... Yes... I do have 10 emerald crab.. Is that to many ? 1/10 gallons right?

Hi everybody, My reeftank has been up for about 1 year now. Everything looks good. I wanted to do a major re-design of my fish tank, especially the live rock setup. What is the best way to do this with the least harm. Should I remove all the fish or leave them swimming around when I...

Hi Everyone, Anybody know where I can find Filter pads for my overflow system. I am paying $3 a foot. I wish I knew where the LFS buys these filter pad rolls that they are selling for $3 a foot. thanks, Mike

My Reef tank has been up for 7 months. In my opinion it is doing ok. Recently, about 2 week ago I noticed red algae. At first, I tried to scoop it out but that did not work, the red algae just grows back. I trimmed down the lighting from 8 hours to 6 hours on my metal halide. I also bought some...

What does IMO mean? Sorry kind of new to this don't know the acronyms yet. So I am guessing that you are not feeding the hermit crabs just letting them it the scraps. thanks for the response.

I have about 10 scarlet Hermit Crabs in my reef tank (100lbs of live rock). I was always under the impression that you did not need to feed the hermit crabs and that there is enough algae in the tang for them to eat? Is this correct? Also, how many hermit crabs can a 100 gallon/100lbs of live...

I would have to say yes. I have crushed coral on the bottom of my tank. There might be some water movement on the bottom but I am not sure. But if there is water movement , it is not stron enough to move any crush coral around. Hmmm.... maybe there is not water movement at all, I will have to...
