    Looking for Protein Skimmer for 125 FO Tank

    I'm looking for a good protein skimmer (and pump) to go on my 125 tank. I know there are a lot of opinions on the best, I need one that will get all of the floating debris out of my tank. Thanks,

    Need Help with Filtration

    I've placed the filter media in the outside overflow (by sponge) I also have filter media in the sump where the water flows down into. It then overflows to the trickle filter with media there and then it goes down through bio balls and some rock before going into the last chamber to be pumped...

    Anenome on Chili Coral

    It looks like the only thing that is actually touching at this point is the base. I could move it, but it's current location is the best for hanging upside down at the mouth of a cave. I will watch it closely.

    Anenome on Chili Coral

    My Yellow Corn Anenome decided to move last night and now it almost on top of my Chili Coral. Will this affect my coral? Should I attempt to move the Anenome off of it? Thanks,

    Chili Coral droop

    My LFS guy came buy and glued my coral to another rock and hung it upside down just outside one of the rock caves. Within an hour it started to open up. So, I guess sometimes they do like to be hung upside down (who knew) the instructions from SWF.com said to just place it in the sand after...

    Cleaning floating debris

    Chili Coral droop

    Thanks for the replies. I'll give it some time. I must say I was quite impressed with the way all of my livestock arrived. They warn about things laying over and looking not quite so good, but all of my stuff arrived lively, The shrimp were all jumping around in the bag, the goby was actively...

    Chili Coral droop

    I purchased a Chili Coral from this site and received yesterday. It still has all of it's color, but the branches are drooping like a Weeping Willow. Is this normal until it gets use to the tank?

    copper

    I added the coppersafe per the instructions on the product. I have been doing regular testing of the water and they are still within the parameter that are recommended. The ICH is gone from the fish, but my crabs and shrimp are still alive. Coppersafe states that it is Chaleated Copper and is...

    copper

    I have been treating my 125 display with Coppersafe going on day 5. Fish are okay, hermits are okay, and cleaner shrimp are fine. I did remove snails and a Red Chocolate Star prior to treating. I know the copper will remain in this system for some time, after the 30 day treatment period, I will...

    FO Tank Question

    The 125 was a store display that had been set up for 8-9 months or so. They are moving to a new location and put it up for sale. The tank has about 150Lbs of rock. Not sure how live it is anymore since it's being treated with coppersafe now for Ich. But I was told the LR could eventually make a...

    FO Tank Question

    The Purple Tang has been in the tank for over one month. The tank is only two months old. The LFS guy said when he installed in he would have it cycled and ready to hold fish within two weeks. And, I suppose he did. The Purple Tang is only about 4.5" inlcuding tail at this point. But he keeps...

    FO Tank Question

    I have been getting several varying opinions on the "qualifing" size tank to house fish. I am real new to the SW scene and need guidence. My LFS owner has bent over backwards (IMO) to help me get started. I now have a 75 gallon reef with a Purple Tang, Maroon Clown, Yellow Watchman Goby, and a...
