You going to start correcting his spelling too?

Curious Killafins... What do you have for gph for a refuge?

I hold the door for elderly and handicapped...everyone else is open season on the door in the face...if they look like real d*ckheads...I make sure it gets 'em....

Nitrate is a negative ion...how a particular company developes a test for that is an individual "our test is better" type of issue...but the Nitrate is an ion.

It is ok...rinse the cermic in saltwater so as to preserve the bacteria...as for the carbon...just replace it.

What I am looking it is pretty much smack dead center of the photo...looks like something live to me...one of the added benies of live rock...watching new things you didn't know you got, grow. BTW, how is the slime algea problem working out?

Thanks bang guy. Elan...I'll bet you haven't seen alot of things diving...like glass partitions...acrylic partitions, etc...It is equally surprising that you haven't seen alot of captive fish or overflow boxes either...

Buy a better quality level...then place trust in it...

Overflows... The Tidepool SOS is rated at 600gph...it is dead quiet...and it is very efficient. The LifeReef single is rated at 700gph and is extremely noisy...it too is very efficient... Between the two (I use both) I like the SOS due to its size, quietness and the manner in which it works...

I wonder why someone wouldn't just use a level to check the level of their tank...they are not that complicated to use...

The ghost shrimp in which I am aware of are freshwater... To enrich brine shrimp...put some in a small container and add liquid vitamins to the small amount of water...let it sit for about 30 minutes or so. You do not need to enrich the shrimp at every feeding...about every two or three is my...

Glass does naturally filter UV...

Something to consider..the smaller the tank..the more difficult it is to maintain steady water chemistry...a skimmer would be a huge plus in maintaining a little consistency... Also...the 500 is a very large filter...we are talking 12 inches long and about 6 inches deep...I have all of the...

I wouldnt think 1/8inch is too much...1/4 inch and more maybe... As was mentioned...use shims if it concerns you that much... Another way to view the perfect level requirement from the manufacture...imagine if they didn't make any level requirements...people being how they are...would let it set...

You can also try raising your lights a little bit off the tank..like 3 inches or so. It is odd why your tank would suddenly heat up...I wouldn't think it was due to the powerhead...try unplugging the powerhead for a couple of hours and see what that does...

Bang Guy... I would be interested in hearing as to what leads you to believe bio-balls would hinder the nitrate process of the DSB? Thanks

Yes the fan would help...also have it blowing on the sides and front as well... What kind of heater is it and what are you using to measure the temp with? Also, what kind of lighting do you have and how high above the water level are they?

It was not a slam...apparently you didn't understand the purpose of the airstone...so I attempted to explain it to you... I still do not think you completely understand the entire purpose of the stone...aggitating the surface was not the intended purpose...

I think it is a gimme on the undertank refuge....

I cannot speak for everyone...but I myself was not judging you and indicating you should or should not take any advice from anywhere or anyone. If I came across that way I do apologize...it wasn't my intentions. It is your tank, and therefore you have the sole right to decide its course and any...
