I'll try to get a picture of it tonight. It looks like the eye is pushed forward in the socket. The only way I can tell there is an eye in there is that it moves when he looks around. There is no visible pupil. Just yellow up front and a small opening in the rear. However, the eel appears...

I just purchased a Snowflake Eel 2 days ago. When I got him home I noticed that one of his eyes was off shape, and pushed up towards his head in his eye socket. I’ve done some research, and found someone who posted a similar problem, and the solution given is as follows… "Probably a bacterial...

I use Marine Biosediment from Kent Marine. It costs $12.99 for 6 lb. When compared to $40 for 5 lb of Miricle mud, this is a steal. and my calpaura is growing nicely. I copied this from Petsolutions.com... Marine Biosediment Biofiltration substrate for Refugiums, Mud Filters and marine...

I have a Rio 1400 (I know, crappy pump), and it is pretty loud. Are the Mags supposed to be quieter? The only reason I would shell out the cash for a Mag right now is to get a quieter pump. The Rio seams to work OK.

Regular, EYE, HQI, or pulse start ??? What are the differences in these. I'm in the market for lights. found some nice prices at http://oceanencounter.com/Merchant2/...&Store_Code=OE . Just need to know which type is best. Thanks.

Here is a link to a DIY for a Coil Denitrator. Looks completely different from the one you guys are talking about. I'm having a hard time following the instructions on this. Any opinions? http://saltaquarium.about.com/gi/dyn...denitrator.htm

The rio was only $20. When it breaks I'll buy the mag. After I pay the shipping costs it wouldnt pay to return it. I keep hearing bad things about these Rio's. I guess you get what you pay for. I'll go with the venturi valve. I have one more question. This is the pump I use for the...

I bought an 18" Fluorescent over the kitchen sink fixture at Home Depot for $8. Comes with a bulb. But i'm ordering a 15 watt, 50/50 combination daylight and actinic bulb for $15. I believe this will work well.

I'm just doing research on making a DIY skimmer. I was looking into buying a venturi valve. I noticed that the Rio 1400 that I bought recently for my sump came with some type of adapter (small rubber hose) that is supposed to make a steam of bubbles on the output for use in a skimmer. I...

I've had my tank set up with damsels for 5 weeks now. I must be close to completing that cycle. Still waiting on the amonia to go down. Recently I bought some live rock for use in a sump/refiugm I made. The problem is, I don't see anything live on the live rock, and it has been over a week...

That does explain a lot. This will save me a lot of time and trouble. But this brings up another concern. If the siphon breaks while I am not home, the water in the sump will overflow into the tank. And as a result, this may cause the pump to burn out. If this is correct, is there some sort...

Originally posted by beattyr Guys, Also how can I balance my input to the sump with the output flow from the pump? Rob I was just about to start a thread asking this same question. My DYI sump is almost at completion. I've been going over the circulation of the sump water in my head, and I...

Has anyone out there tried this product, or have an opinion on it. More info on this can be found at... http://hdltd.com/products/p_rightnow.html They claim that it can cycle a tank in 24 hours.

Thank for the advice. I am very new to this hobby. I haven’t even completed my cycle yet. I have CC in my 72 Gal. tank right now. I am undergoing a project to build a sump with a refugium, which incorporates a DSB. Soon I will need to decide what substrate will go into the sump. I'm using...

Could I use sand aquired from my local beach? And would this be the same as LS?
