I started with treated tap, switched to RO and now am using treated tap again temporarily because my lfs is closed due to a fire.

DO NOT put the sand over top of the crushed coral. The sand will eventually sink to the bottom and you will have the CC on top.

My tanks is a 45 gal and I also have another 25 gallons of water in my sump. I usually do a water change every month changing about 12 gallons of water, which would be 20%. Recently I am trying a different approach. Instead of doing a large change monthly, I will be doing smaller changes weekly...

I also dropped my lights into my sump/refugium. It's a good thing that I have everything plugged into a GFCI.

I have a refugium in my sump with plenty of macroalgae growing in it, along with pods and other goodies. Every month or so,I would harvest half of the macro and sell it to my lfs. Unfortunately there was a fire 3 stores down from them and the water from putting the fire out, flooded the fish...

Scub, if you reread Megs 4th post, you will see that he/she already bagged the sand. That is why I think he/she is going to have another cycle.

The thing you are forgetting is that he had the tank set up and running for three years. He originally had a filter in the tank but removed it after the tank was established. You have now moved the tank and disturbed the bacteria colonies that were living in the sand. You are starting all over...

Buy some live brine shrimp, he will eat them also.

I have a small bristle worm in my tank. I think its only maybe an inch if that. It is in a hole in a small piece of rubble rock but it never comes completely out of the hole. The rock was in my sump/refugium but I took the rock and put it in my main display tank. I'm hoping to get a better look...

I have a section of my sump made into a refugium. There is a piece of plexiglass over this section of the sump and there are 2 flourescent lights on top of that. Because of that reason, I dont see the top of the refugium. Anyway, I had the top off the refugium today and noticed that the top...

I just bought a new pump for my tank. It is rated at 700gph. I want to construct a swaybar and hook the pump to it. I was wondering if anyone could post pictures or diagrams of spraybars they have built? I was also wondering what would be the best direction to aim the spraybar?

I have a yellow tail damsel that was very aggresssive towards my other fish. I captured the damsel and put him in my sump/refugium. He has been in there for about 4 or 5 months now. The sump/refugium is lit 24/7 and I was wondering if the constant light would be bothering him? I was considering...

one word mermaids :joy:

When you replace thatheater, make sure you replace it with a titanium one. They cost more but you will never have to buy another heater again.

For once, your LFS was correct. Just feed your fish before you leave on Saturday and they will be fine when you return on Tuesday.

Some people just drop the cube into the water and let it melt there. I dont recomend that. Others place the cube into a glass of tank water and let it melt in there and then pour it into the tank. That is what I used to do. Now I place the cubes into a brine shrimp net and run warm water over...

How big is your tank? Do you plan on using your wet/dry as the sump or are you using a different container?

If you have enough liverock in your tank, then you can just remove the bioballs and use your wetdry as your sump/refugium. If not, then you will have to slowly replace the bioballs with more liverock. Your bioballs and your liverock contain your bacteria which is beneficial to the survival of...

The mushroom actually moves on its own. It disappears into a hole in the rock and then reappears out another hole on the other side of the rock.

I have a small piece of liverock with Xenia on it. There are a few stalks of Xenia on it and 2 small mushrooms. I want to remove the mushrooms from the rock and put them on another rock. Is there any way that I can do it without hurting the mushroom? I am afraid that eventually they will sting...
