you can get the Jaboa wp40 or wp25 for not much more than the Koralias. they come with their own controller. I have one on my 120 gal. and love it. you can set it to go to half power when lights are off. they are powerful pumps.

he never said anything about nitrates. he mentioned nitrites and ammonia. something is wrong but it's not because the skimmer stopped working. many people run skimmerless tanks. it has no effect on nitrites or ammonia.

people do it all the time, but imo, those tanks are too small for any trigger. six foot minimum.

I put 140 lbs. of live rock at the start and my tank cycled in ten days. I ran my skimmer just to break it in. you don't have to run it since there is nothing to skim.

I converted my 120 gal. discus tank to a fowlr. you don't need filters. live rock, skimmer, and powerheads are enough. tank looks good. remember, if and when you add more live rock, you may start another mini cycle. even though people do it, a 75 gal. is too small for any trigger. these fish can...

fw dip will do nothing for ich. the only proven methods are hypo-salinity, copper, or tank transfer. all done in a qt.

it's hit or miss. my auriga bf made short work of all aiptasia in less than a day. raccoons are known aiptasia eaters.

I have a 120 gal. and there are a lot of fish I would like but won't get. a 75 is much too small for any large angel. stay with the dwarfs.

my unit reads 002 in and 000 out. I used a hand held tds meter and my tap is 140.

thanks Ivan. I'm getting a little brown water. I'm a bit confused as to how high or low to put the cup. I have it pretty high right now. I had it lower at first, but it seemed to fill up with too much water.

I have just turned on my bh 2000. tank is in the last stages of cycling. every review I have read on this skimmer says it produces micro bubbles for a few days. I wonder if I have mine set up right because there are absolutely no micre bubbles coming into the tank. the skimmer seems to be...

thanks for the reply. I'm asking because some say that salt crystals will stick to the substrate and can give false readings on salinity. my tank is now about half full and I still haven't added the sand.

first fish are in my qt. 2 clowns and a royal gramma. ready to start my fowlr dt. quick question. I hate the thought of adding sand to 24 inches of water. I'm planning on filling the tank directly from my ro unit then adding salt. is it really a bad thing to put the sand down first? it will be...
