You have to make the determination of size if it fits in the mouth of the lionfish you buy it will eat or try to eat it

I agree with Bang, I have never read any repeatable info as to lionfish eating coral, but I would think that they could be detrimental to any coral they perched on

Dean remember water seeks its own level so you are not going to get the differential in water that you show in your diagram I would make the baffle all the same height. Make sure you add couplings to disassemble the system as needed the two holes you see on internal overflow boxes are for the...

Scott It was with great pleasure I read about what you had to say to the people at Coral magazine in reference to what swf is doing about the Lionfish situation. Perhaps you can post what is going on at SWF to the members that do not get or have a chance to read the mag.

This may be a good time to post a detailed diagram of your complete piping setup from DT to sump/refuge and back to dt along with valves and couplings One thing you must take into consideration IMO is that with going with a strainer on the influent side of the pump you pipe it to a position...

Quote: Do they grow outwards??? why of course my love. Oh you mean the coral, yes they are encrusting

yea if he is just putting in a bulkhead as a return with out an overflow box he has to drill it very close to the water level or bad things can happen

Having not seen an Australian Echinophillia for a while at my LFS I decided to buy the one which was advertised on SWF as an “eye it buy it “ the coral arrived this morning shipped in the usual excellent manner. This is the coral after temp acclimating for an hour. I will take some pics...

Quote: theoretically you'd never drill the tank down low for power loss, and the first thing that comes to my mind is the bottom is tempered..... He should be able to tell if the bottom is tempered and can you explain about the power loss

Just a note on ick and the gills of the fish. The ick parasite in of itself does not kill the fish. While the parasite feeding on the fish both body and gills weakens the fish and makes it susceptible to infection and secondary diseases. The primary reason for death do to ick infestation is the...

This is the prefiltration system I use, and one I would recommend. The pics are self-explanatory. The perforated plastic tube fits into the bulkhead in my overflow box I place that in and then place the sponge over the tubes and push it to the bottom. When the water level gets to the top of the...

I run this type of prefiltration in my two overflow boxes I will remove one tomorrow and take pics and post

I would put a prefilter in your overflow box You can get a perforated plastic pipe that fits into the bulkhead of the overflow box and around that you put a foam collar that is your prefilter it’s a simple and universal method of filtering the water before return pumps I can post pics if you like

Quote: He suggested to increase the intake and output on the pump to generate more water volume movement. Let’s not confuse turnover rate with water motion the amount of water you are returning to your display tank is not as paramount as the movement you have with in your DT via power heads. In...

excellent Henry excellent

its on my wish list, how the hell are you my old friend
