I built one. it cost me around $25 bucks total. It takes some time to cycle itself, and it gets clogged up occasionally. I tested the before and after water a while ago, and couldn't tell much difference. It was more of a pain to unhook it than leave it, and I figured it wasn't doing any...

Has nayone used zeolite for filtration. I was discussing this with a company im invested with, and they have a product which is zeolite and calcium carbonate. He claims that it will absorb ammonia and phsphates, and can be used in FW setups. He was unsure whether it would be affected by SW. Any...

I have had better luck with "pack in a crack" method than I have had with glue or banding.

It would seem so, but I am not the expert on this. Although, I don't think this would work for clams.

Remember to plan for the future when you are at the set up stage. Regardless of the direction that you want your tank to go, FOWLR, Reef, etc...you oftentimes will save money in the long run by purchasing equipment that is of higher quality or a little "more" than you need "right now".

Remember the slogan for the sixties "What if they gave a war and nobody came"? We have been mobilizing since the first of the year for the 250K violent protestors expected in our city, and about 250 showed up, none violent. There are more media here than protestors. This is quite an...

I have a 3/4" PVC Pipe that is my return. I have an upper branch that sprays one direction accross the top and another thta sprays from inside the rocks in another direction. I also have dual overflows.

Ask anyone...the one "I have is the best. I made the best choice in buying and my money was not wasted, nor poorly spent." I have a little giant pump that I inheireted. I think that it is OK (because it is the one that I have {the only one I have ever had}) I have to oil it and it's kinda...

somebody sounds like an electrical engineer! Thanks, I'll try it

It is hooked up correctly. It has been working nicely for 18 months or so, but every now and a gain, it will do the constant run thing. After I turn the water off, it stops. Then it doesn't do the constant run thing for quite some time. No, I do not have a TDS meter. My water runs through a...

Yeah, I know about GFI outlets, and should have done so by now. Thanks for the reminder.

Ill save you some time and money here. If you decide to drill the side of that 10 gallon tank, use a hammer to mark the spot where you want the hole. Small tanks are maade with tempered glass and nearly impossible to drill. I drilled two, broke them both, and then replaced the end panel with...

This has happened a few times to me. I hear the RO waste water running in the drain. Just a trickle noise. It does this for a while after I use some ro water. But now and a gain, it will continue running all day....or overnight. Does this mean that the membrane needs changing or is something...

I only hit the glass end, I didn't even touch the reflector.:D

No

Has anyone gotten shocked by these things. I was fishing around in the refugium and my wrist hit the Bulb! H***S$%&#! that stuff is live! It wasn't as bad as it could have been, but I touched the bulb, at the end opposite the wires? Ain't that Odd?

I have two. apurple/neon green and a pink. I have tried to feed them when I feed my other anenomae, but they refuse. they seem to be "filter feeders" in the true sense. I also watche them eat flake food and other stuff in the water column. Mine are both growing and seem to be doing well...

He may be stressed a little from shipping. What other critters do you have in your tank? I had an angel fish that was nipping at mine, he didn't open until I put him in the refugium. Try feeding him when the sweepers come out

I have heard neither good nor bad about this one.

I cut the bottom from a 2 liter bottle, and place it over mine. I then add the food. The coral immediately open and feeds. After a while I "stir " the water by squirting a little in the bottle. This keeps the food suspended for the tentacles to catch. This method seems less labor intensive...
