I have a 2 1/2 gallon CPR hangon and a five gallon coming off of my sump in a 75 (lack of space under the tank - needed to custom build it to fit) and my nitrates rarely go above 10. I would say with a 20, you can go small and still get good results.

It just sounds like growth from the description, but a picture, if possible, would help. If it looks like it's 'flaking' (sort of like sunburn peeling off), it is probably just growing. My sheds its base in the same manner that it sheds its crown. It just seems to take a lot longer for the...

You will need to transfer the picture from you camera to your computer. I'm not familiar with that camera, so maybe someone that is can help you out there. Once you get the picture transferred: When you post a reply or a new message, there is a box at the bottom of the screen that reads "Attach...

That depends on what is in the tank and if the bubbles are settling on anything. Best to stop the bubbles. Try a sponge or a bubble trap. Better yet, if you know the source, take care of it and you won't have to worry about the rest. Certain additives will cause an increase in micro-bubble...

The 2R will return fewer bubbles to the tank, but I need the bubble trap on both to completely eliminate them, even with the modification.

Originally posted by jcsurfn What is the modification for the 2? I have the 2 with the blue bio media in it. So I was just woundering what the modification was to it? In place of the biomedia is a baffle tower that drops into the return side of the skimmer. I'm assuming that this is what...

I used the 2 with the reef modification and it worked fine. I later purchased the 2R and it works a little better, but not that much better. If you have no other filtration and are using a fish only tank, go with the 2 and buy the modification later. If you have other filtration and plan on...

Originally posted by reefaddicted YOU'D BE AMAZED AT HOW MUCH CAULERPA A TANG CAN EAT!!!!:D Yep! I have a 10 gallon that has macro in it and a 75 that has it in the refugium. The 10 is used to grow out some soft corals that have spread for trading with the lfs. The conditions in both tanks...

Red Sea Sailfin Tang ( < 15% likelyhood based on articles I've read) Fox Face (mine eats some of it but not all of it) Emeralds will eat certain types of it low in the tank, but won't climb very far - at least none of mine do. Although I have no experience with them, I have read that Sally...

Steve Do a search on the Internet for "curing live rock" (use the quotes). You will find a lot of articles on it. Your basic logic is correct. The articles will finish it for you. And please, kill the cap lock. It's tough on everyone'e eyes.

As described by URI for their bulbs: Actinic Bulbs The Super Actinic R is a lamp which is an excellent source of long wave ultraviolet radiation, peaking precisely at 420NM closely resembles that of the blue chlorophyll absorption peak utilized in photosynthesis. It's benefits at 7100 Kelvin...

OK Dan. I'll go out on the limb and tell you to check the powerheads as you originally suspected. Maybe clean them. I have a wavemaker on mine and if they 'pop' when they turn on, it's usually a piece of something that got into the impeller. Make sure the impellers are in the slots at both...

Some time ago (somewhere around June, I believe), I was going to make the same statements concerning a hex tank, and then someone with a 27 gallon hex reef posted a picture that was awesome. I don't remember who it was, but that would take care of any and all of your questions. I would agree...

If it's red around the base of the fins or the anus is red and swollen, it is most likely a bacterial infection. If that is the case, he may need to do a 25% water change and improve the diet (yellow tangs are grazers and should have a food source available at all times - nori, macro algae...

I'm not sure of how accurate the test kits are. I was getting a reading of 0, which in my situation was absurd. My nephew's wife works in a college lab and she brought one of their test kits and the water was saturated. The Salifert test kit gave a 0 reading. Later I purchased a Red Sea kit...

There's a place in Indiana that sells it at a relatively good price for mail order. Leave your e-mail and I'll send you the website.

Easy for a butterfly, but not easy. Definitely not something that should be put into a tank until the tank itself is mature (that means 6 months to a year). They also can reach 9 inches. Butterflies in general require excellent conditions and peaceful tankmates. Once the tank is mature, it...
