    What size Koralias do I need and how many?

    No sump (no room). I have an Eheim 2028 and a AquaC skimmer. The few corals I have are mushrooms and some polyps, really easy to care for critters.

    I want to treat my tank with Phos Ban for a few days and want to use my diatom filter. Will the Phos Ban get hot enough to melt the micron bag in the filter? Thanks

    cannister filter for Phos Reactor?

    Birds are great and it looks like you have your hands full! I will take your advice on the items in the PM and hopefully get this tank under control. I want to get some more Mexican Turbos and my shrimp agree. I think I can read the expression on their faces as "the last batch was...

    Thanks for the help. I sent a PM and I hope I did it correctly. BTW, are those your birds in the picture? I am a bird lover too. I have a blue and gold macaw named chester. I will check the site later to see if you received the PM. Thanks again and the tank is a show stopper!!!!

    cannister filter for Phos Reactor?

    I am currently using an Eheim 2028 on a 150 and everything is great except for the *^&^*&% algae! I am not using chemical filtration now nor have I for about a year. But I now concede I need chemical help so I am considering another cannister for chemical filtration only. I don't have room...

    Can you remove phosphates with a diatom filter?

    Brands to avoid?

    I have an Aqua C Pemora Pro and it is great. Had a small leak in the casing and they sent me a new unit. You might want to check into the prefilter box that hangs in the tank. It increases the efficiency of the skimmer and minimizes the micro bubbles that come from the skimmer. My son has a...
