    Overflow Help!

    I am trying to decide on an overflow for my 125g. I want to use a tunze wavebox so I was thinking a small overflow would be ok to get the water into my skimmer/sump/refuge. This overflow box would be rated at 700gph and I would get a 950gph mag return pump. The sump will be a 55g with an...

    Question about a wavebox

    What happens to my overflow when I install a wave box? Will it act normal or will the waves break the syphon and cause problems?

    Red slime?

    dont impulse buy live stock

    Especially because fish can be very delicate. Matt2364 has impulse bought 2 fish that were extremely hard to keep as a species. Naturally the LFS didn't say anything of the sort even though they are a really great store they can sometimes mess up.

    Clownfish looks ill

    All params are at zero. I have only been feeding them mysis, is it a nutrition problem? My female looks great and is starting to give signs of hosting my frogspawn.

    So my male clown is looking rather poor lately. He is looking pale and almost whitish along his face and back. I think my female is being aggressive towards him. He always hangs back in a corner.
