did you build the sump yourself or buy it?

thanks.....what about the sump makes the water params better than a canister? (sorry if a stupid question)

I have a 90g with a corner overflow. Reef with soft corals. I am currently using an eheim canister filter and a hang-on-back Remora skimmer. Everything is working fine, but I'm wondering if I should upgrade to a sump. What are the advantages of a sump vs. a canister filter? Is it worth it to...

I have 2 pistols and 3 cleaners...for about 2 year. Never a problem.

the line runs north / south and between Rochester (Pop) and Syracuse (Soda). I think the line is somewhere near Geneva.

definitely stick with the brittle and serpent stars. the linckia stars have a mortality rate in captivity that is horrendous. IMO it should not be sold in the hobby.

I have a handfull of both pepermint shrimp and 'dusters....never a problem.....

I purchased a CBS a year ago and in the first night he killed both of my cleaner shrimp. aggressiveness must be different by individual specimin.....

i concur

the sea stars should be more worried about the pistol shrimp than the other way around. I have 2 pistols and a few serpant stars....when the star gets a leg too close to the pistol's cave, the shrimp snaps at it and the star moves away quickly.

cheap clip-on fan across the top

I had high temperature problems last summer, so this summer I bought a cheap clip on fan and ran it over the top of the tank. It does the trick!

I have a green and a yellow one.... They eat anything that floats near them....flake, pellet, frozen...

The only thing that I noticed (which prompted me to check my salt) is that my xenia's don't look too good...they are shrinking up.....

I neglected to check my salt level for a while in my 90g reef. I broke out my refractometer last night and it registered 1.029! I checked twice. How should I bring it down to 1.025? Slowly over the course of a few days or ASAP? Thanks....

no love for Canadian back bacon?

the shrimp is blind or nearly blind... watch closely and you will notice that the shrimp always rests one of his antenae on the goby when he is out of the cave. if there is "danger" the goby will twitch his body signaling the shrimp to dive back into the cave.
