Was thinking of ordering a reef package from here. It includes a starfish but I already have a serpent star in the tank. Can more than one live together? Thanks. Adam

Hello, I have a 28 gallon nano with 150 w hallide lighting. I have a chiller that keeps the water cool during the day while the lights are on. I would like to add a digital heater controller so that I can more closely specify the temperature on the heater. I have had problems in the past...

Salinity has always been pretty constant. The only change would be when the water needs topped off. It is a 60 gallon tank and I usually top off with 2 gallons, 3 at most. I will have a look at the salinity when I get home but I usually check each time I do a water change. As far as...

I have a problem. I have had a saltwater tank for about 4 years now. For the last year or so I have had problems keeping snails. All snails. I occasionally get a few that hang on for a while but most usually die. As a result of my lack of snails, I have been unable to keep the algae under...

Okay. I am getting a little lost. I think you are both pretty much saying what I am saying. Want to make clear that the AirWaterIce RO/DI has an automatic shut-off valve. This gets tripped off when the float valve shuts off due to enough water in the storage tank. When this happens the RO/DI...

Thanks for the responses. Here is the issue... My RO/DI unit is in-between my tank and garbage storage can. The total space between the tank and the garbage can is about 50 - 60 feet and a few walls. So I think I would need to relocate or create a new storage tank much closer right? So how...

Hello, I searched for a bit and couldn't find my situation. I have an Air-Water-Ice RO/DI unit. Currently it is under the kitchen sink and has a hose going to the garage where I have a garbage can that has a float valve(from airwaterice). The garbage can has a spicket on the bottom and I am...

Hello, I have been reading a little about acrylic. I am thinking about using it to modify/build some pieces for a refugium. I have a lot of questions though... Is it the same thing as plexi glass? Where can you get it? Hardware store, online? How much is it? What is the standard thinckness I...

Thanks for the info. TheGrog, I think I am going to go your way. I am in the process of ordering a maxi-jet 1200. I am also going to order some tubing, but I have another question. What is the size of tubing I need to connect from the surface skimmer to the pump. I know I will need at least a...

Hello all, I have had a AquaC Remora on my 55 gallon for about a 1.5 months. I purchased the one with the Rio 800. I was reading that I could get more gunk out of my tank by adding a surface skimmer, but I am a little confused. On one post someone said that you can go to ---- and get a...

No, I also have a AquaC Remora protein skimmer and a Penguin emperor 400 mechanical filter...

Okay, so how do you stock a Deep Sand Bed correctly? I actually coverted from CC to Sand periodically by removing CC and replacing with sand. I first removed about 2/3 of the CC and replaced with sand. I left this combination of CC and sand for about 2 - 3 months. I figured that this would...

Installing a refugium is not an option right now. I currently have a 4 inch sandbed that I switched to about 4 months ago. How often does it need to be cleaned? I have read on here that it should not be cleaned, and that a deep sandbed maintains itself... Adam

Hello, I have had my 55 gallon tank up and running for about 1 year and 3 months. I have periodically added more and more things and upgraded over time. Right now I am at the point were I would like to start adding inverts like anemones and corals. I purchased a flat anemone and a...

Thanks for the info. I will look into the surface skimmer. Also, Do I need to keep running my emperor 400 filter? Can I take it off? Adam
