I recently purchased a pre-plumbed 90 gallon acrylic tank (with sump/stand) from someone. I noticed that the return line went up through the bottom, back (in the back plumbing housing area). The return pipe goes up near the graded overflow, does a 180 degree turn, goes back down, then goes out...

My order (from fishstreet) is actually scheduled to be delivered today. It took only 4 days vice the 2 or so weeks but the shipping cost was somewhat high since I ordered that heavy return pump and a few other items. Now I have to get on the ball and clean buff out my 90 gallon tank and start...

Any updates on positive/negative experiences with this system? I bit the bullet and not only ordered a WP40, but also ordered a remote controled, adjustable (and colorful) jebao return pump for my soon to be running 90. I'm keeping my eheim as a backup. This tunze legal stance sort of...

Hello. I'm also in the prep stage of upsizing from my 55 to a 90 with LPS and soft. After some research and trial and error, I'm going for around a 1000 gph return and a wavemaker. I just went against conventional wisdom and ordered an adjustable return pump and a wp40. Both made by jebao.. ...

still growing. . .

Not sure what this is growing on the back of my 24g aquapod. I have a pepermint anenome, zenia, kenya tree, polyps, and unfortunately hair algae growing thriving in this tank. Around 6 weeks ago, I noticed a small, soft, "blob" growing on the back and I thought that it was part of an anenome...

Update. Thanks for everyone's insight. Fortunately, I guess that I statistically beat the odds as I came home for lunch, anticipating either returning to a dead fish or returning the clown to his original tank. They all seem to be doing better. The percs are hanging out together, now...

I'm taking down my 20 gallon and putting the false perc and small goby into my 110 which has a 4" maroon clown and another false perc. After an hour, the 110 gal perc started shadowing the new perc and doing a fluttering dance next to it. The new perc was/is breathing heavily and trying to...

i did various unsuccessful methods and discussed them in a thread under corals.

I recommend that you look in your local phone book to find a quality salt water fish store and ask someone (experienced) to come out and look at it. If not, use some sort of network to find someone with similar knowledge. There could be a plethora of things wrong and by the time you skim...

I let mine reproduce for too long then tried various techniques and none have worked so I am going all out this weekend and cleaning my tank which I put in a different thread under corals.

I recommend a refugium or atleast some macroalgae. I currently have a 20 gallon tank that I had quickly set up for a clown fish who was getting attacked in its previous aquarium. Despite having only a H.O.T Magnum biowheel, a couple of power heads, and some live rock, this tank has the best...

I didn't think about that. I guess I will clean out/replace my filters also.

Although my 5 peppermint shrimp are eating aptasia in my 110 gallon tank, they can't reduce the aptasia numbers which are reproducing at a faster rate. Unsuccessfully using chemicals (lemon juice, Joe's Juice, etc) I then tried to assist by removing a portion of the live rock and power washing...

As a followup to the "if anyone cares about fish. . ." thread that someone posted, I've asked myself if it is moral to keep fish in an aquarium, especially after something died in my tank. I don't know if the life expectancy of aquarium fish exceeds that of fish in the wild, but I don't think...

Thanks for everyone's advice. The anenome, which looked unrecognizable when i found him in the morning seems to be doing better and his buddy (tomato clownfish) is currently consoling it and nursing it back to health, no thanks to my ignorance. Needless to say, the intake strainer is currently...

water quality is good, corals are doing well. I just purchased the anenome on that same day. I assumed that it was either hungry or scoping out his new home. The intake has the basic "cone shaped" strainer. I wasn't sure if a mesh bag would help unless it could be expanded beyond the shape...

Does anyone know how to prevent anenomes from getting sucked into filter intakes? Online, I've found the recommendation of using a mesh bag but haven't found a pet store that carries them nor any substitute.
