Check out Digital Aquatics' ReefKeeper.:jumping:

The Urchin is the in sump equivalent of the Remora HOT.

I dumped my Seaclone in the trash when my Urchin arrived.

Successful reefers how often do you change out your MH and PC lamps.

In my experience pistol shrimp get along with other shrimp.

I don't think pistol shrimp are the cause of your problems. However, they will eat dead fish, crabs, etc. Not a bad idea to feed them once in a while too. I feed mine every couple of days or if they come out of thier burrows at feeding time.

Pistol shrimp should be no problem in a reef tank--at least i've had none. Try to get a shrimp gobis to pair up with the pistols.

Had similar problem. Redsea replaced pump at no charge.

You've got something in there that's feeding the algae. You could try 'AZ NO3' and 'PO4 minus' I've used both products with success. They work in concert with you skimmer to get rid of Phosphates and Nitrates. But I'd also try to figure out what's causing the algae in the first place.

Leave it alone. It will fix itself if necessary.

Do you have live rock in the tank now? If not get it now and start to cycle again with some food, shrimp, whatever.

Can't be bad if it's a filter feeder. Consider it as part of your cleanup crew.

ninjamini you are wasting my time. Keep to the subject.

Don't try to get the algae off yourself. Put the sponge in a dark place in your aquarium and the algae will clear up. Sponges normally grow in dark waters, under overhangs, in caves or at depth. Keep it out of the light.

Anyone have experience with Seio M620 super flow pumps? The instructions say not to use a wave timer. I'm wondering if you could use Digital Aquatics ReefKeeper with soft start without problems?

Bob should be OK now just give him and the clean up crew a little time.

Your LFS probably has macroalgae--sounds like it. AZ-NO3 is a product that works anzymically to degrade nitrate in concert with your protien skimmer.

Yes algae can't grow in the dark. Don't try to rub it off or remove it. If you have hermit crabs they could clean it up. But it must stay in a dark place to survive.

Get macroalgae, use AZ-NO3, it works, and continue with water changes while you try to find out the source of the problem.
