    Fish in overflow

    I have a pink tipped anemone that has done that twice. The amazing thing is that it is going through a strainer , then through 3 feet of ribbed pool hose, then into a 3/4 pvc tee, through a reducing elbow and then through about 18" of 1/2 pvc pipe and finally through a 1/2" pvc tee, where it is...

    New design for sump

    I've decided to build a bigger sump/refugium using a 30 gal tank this time. One reason for using a sump is to get the pumps, filters, heaters and what not out of sight. Since I have an iron stand that is open at the bottom, you can still see all those things. So I decided to build the sump...

    Is there such a thing as a snail without a shell?

    Bought some new live rock tonight. It was rubble rock to do some fragging. I had the rock in a small fishbowl to keep wet for the time being and I noticed some movement. I looked closer and saw what I first thought was a snail. It is about 1/2" and moves slow like a snail, it even has a brownish...

    Darn It!!!!!!!

    A 1" bulkhead has a drain rating of 600gph. If your overflow box has 2 bulkheads, then your overflow would be 1200 gph. You would need a pump with less than that, something around 1100 gph. If your pump has more than that, just put a tee in your returnline with a ball valve on the tee going back...

    is my sump too small?

    Go to your LFS and buy a filter sponge. They are usually white. Rig the sponge up somehow so that the water has to pass through the sponge before it gets to the return pump. Also make sure that the sponge is sticking out of the water. Bubbles will not pas through a sponge. They get trapped...

    Is my mushroom doomed?

    I have a mushroom that is about 3/4" in diameter. It came loose from its rock and fell back behind my live rock. Will it be able to work its way back into the light or is it doomed?
