This is a great question for me to! what I do know is that with the egg crate and mesh bottom and live sand on top of that is the berlin method and works very well. And with two large protene skimmers in a sump is one of the most efective filtering systems. the reason for the egg crate is the...

Thanks for the help even though I don't think its going to make it, brown gel is coming from the other side now. but I haven't given up hope, I installed a new phosphate sponge this morning maybe that will help. My p.h. was 8.0 in the after noon I corected that. My calcium is 500ppl. and my...

I beleve that as the shells detererate they release agronite and calcium witch is absorbed back into your reef.healthy!!!

I am still watching this thing and it seems to be just cleaning algae off the rock and very selectivly I might add.I just bought a flash light with a red lense and will try to see what he is up to when it is really dark. again if any one can tell me more, I will thank you in advance.

First of all this is becoming my utmost favorite site and I tend to look here with my problems first. now not long ago I had a huge red algae bloom in my tank and after checking my calcium levels they were 220 ppl now that they are 420 ppl the red algae is almost completly gone and my phosphates...

caustic means chemicaly hot like acid if you let fertilizer set on you yard with out watering it in it chemicaly burns the grass same thing. With kawaser not only the scum on the top is caustic but also the sedament on the bottom try syphoning from the middle of the contianer works good. Now the...

mix in a 1 gal. jug let stand 4 or more hours then syphon with a 14" tube out of the center of the jug [makeing sure to avoid the settelment on the bottem and the scum on top both are caustic]into a container that will slowly drip the solition into your tank any faster than a drip and you may...

I just read a reply from you to gary and I am wondering why you wouldnt touch the worm with your fingers?

Wow sorry for your losses have you checked the ph do you have a rock that may have metals in it like river rock? Or a rusty screw on filter what was the last thing that you added before your problems started?

and always give anything you buy from the pet store a good lookover before you buy it. alot of people are just looking to make a $ and dont really care about you or your tank once your out the door

nitrates, phosphates,low calcum levels?

Not long ago I had a huge problem. I found my phosphate levels very high and used a sponge in my magnum h.o.t. Also after talking to other freinds, the consensus seems to be keeping high levels of calcium to promote healthy growth of coraline algae.I am also starting to use another product...

I just purchased a test kit from natureef for $19.00 the kit contained everything right down to the deionized water enough for 10 tests

sorry i got off on that little tangent about damsels.I'm not familar with your lighting how many watts output?

damsels are a mean little fish and i recomend getting rid of them as soon as your tank cycles they will kill any thing worthwhile or anything for that matter 9 fish is way to much for a 55 gal reef tank 4 should be max especialy with inverts also many people have told me not to mix anemone,s...
