I've been fiddling but so far it isn't working right. I see the little tornato in the bottom and it bubbles up the top part but then goes back down the way it came. Humph

hum the didn't have foam in it. Will the white foam stuff work. I don't know how to adjust the air flow, I'll play around with it.

(History I bought a house and 170g saltwater tank came with. The pervious owner left it a mess. I had to rip the tank a part get rid of the gravel, scrub the tank[seriously u could barley see in it], replace the gravel with live sand and all new water. All the levels where crazy but after all...

Thanks, its been quite the task but I'm getting there

oh as for sand I have 80lbs in my 170 but thats actually low. You'd probably need at least 140 lbs I'd think

Other people will know much more then me as I'm fairly new to this too. My experience with the fresh water tanks has been let it cycle with nothing(in saltwater with the live rock/sand) for at least 2-3 weeks, then add just a couple hardy fish and let it cycle another 2-3 weeks before adding...

I moved into this house with the 170g tank. I've gotten most of the sump cleaned up and had to replace the side filter altogether but used what material out of the old for the new as I could. I'm now ready to deal with the skimmer but I've never had one before so am afraid to pull it a part to...

I believe the diatom is from the new sand(I switched out the gravel that was in the tank. I moved into this house with the 170g here but it needed LOTS of work) The lights are Life-glo T5 HO Premium Full Spectrum and Marine-glo T5 HO Actnic Blue Marine There's two large ones that are blue and...

Whatever the Chromis is that I have, it chases and nips my clown fish and tries to get the diamond goby. He is so going to be leaving soon. My three stripe damsel isn't bad and has lots of character. The only time I saw him bug anyone was for a very short time the first day I added new fish. He...

Well I have some 5 Mexican Turbo Snails that do an awesome job on the glass and keeping the aglea under control on the live rock. I got two black turbos(didn't want to get more until I saw what they do) and so far(5 days) they haven't done much. I thought they were both dead untill one moved...

You'll know it's to loud when your rocks/corals start to fall *lol* I'd think as long as nothings touching the tank to vibrate it, it should be ok.

Sorry forgot to ask in last post about this. It looks like the anemone is growing a second mouth, could be wrong but thats what it looks like. Could it be splitting? It moved at the begining of the week too.

I have a diatom(sp?) bloom going on and want to keep the lights to min. How much light doesd the anenome really need? I've had the lights on for about 9 hrs(11am to 8ishpm) but it gets a bit of light too from the window in the room(A cross from tank). Will day light then just 6hrs with the...

I have a LongNose Butterfly in my 170g tank with a yellow tang and sailfin tang and it's doing fine. When the lights go out though it's more active and sometimes swims upside down

Well I got the glass out but didn't cover the whole tank. The middle is open and I can't get it right to the sides because of the filters/heaters ect... so there's lots of beathing room, hopefully covered enough that no one gets out. I'll try the mesh when I can get some. The remaining goby is...

Thankyou SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! This is the info I needed right now. My tank looks like a brown sea :(

gggggrrrrrrrrrr I woke up to a goby on the floor. Now I have to figure out how it got out of the tank. It could have gotten out the back possibly but then it would have been inside the cabnit still not on the fllor out front. Of course Hubby buried the back top behind boxes in the basement.

Its a large/long 170g tank which gives me a little more play but I can always take one back. The guy did advise I don't get more then the two. I do feed a froozen reef mix but they're getting froozen mysis shrimp soon and I plan on picking that up to get a bit more varity into the diet. Opps it...

I'm lucky to have a really good fish store close to me. They take wonderful care of their tanks/fish ect.... Everytime I go in theres some one cleaning/attending to the upkeep of ALL the tanks. Unlike the only other saltwater place close to me(use to be good but has gone down hill). Anyway I...
