It is my understanding that water changes or a DSB will remove nitrates, but what removes phosphates? I hope this isn't highjacking, I thought it was on the subject. If this is indeed highjacking, please let me know and I will delete this reply and flog myself an appropriate amount when time...

Oh, you could get some Astrea snails or a Lawnmower blennie, which will help. I was kidding about the bleach earlier, I figured you knew that, but you just never know what people are gonna do.

I got one of those floating magnet cleaner things which works pretty well. I thought of maybe trying chlorine bleach, but I was afraid the fishies would get mad at me. :D

How much do you charge for scuba tours of that thing? I know you have heard it, but that tank rocks........I give it 5 cool little dancing guys....

I got my remora about a month ago, it took about 2 weeks to get it broken in. At first it made more noise and made a ton of tiny bubbles in my tank, which drove me completely nuts. After a month, the bubbles are gone and I don't notice any noise. I wouldn't mess with the injector. Just give it a...

I wouldn't sweat it, remember that today was a friday before a holiday weekend, no-one does anything productive. I bet you will hear back on wednesday next week.

ditto here, I sent mine about two and a half hours ago, nothing yet

I would suggest an email thanking them for their time and if there was something in particular you really liked about the environment/company, mention it. I have found being appreciative goes a long way.

I have one and it took a few days to produce anything at all. Mine is relatively quiet, I got the maxijet 1200, I don't know how loud the other pump is. Do you have the pump wedged up against the glass? That could cause some vibration noise. Overall I am very happy, I think you will be too.

I did the switch over and currently have my fish, a bubble coral, and a couple of anenomes in a large tub with a power head, some live rock and a heater.......oh yeah and some saltwater too:D I mixed 20 lbs of live sand and 40 lbs of aragonite sand for the bed. After the change, the water is...

Is that alkalinity level low?

What would you guys suggest as a good hardy colorful coral? Keep in mind that all I have is 130watts of pc light obove my 29, so it can't require too much light. Here are my water parameters: SG: 1.023 PH: 8.2 Temp 77.8 Nitrate 5 Nitrite 0 Ammonia 0 Calcium 400 Alkalinity 2.58 How hardy are the...

I recieved my Remora and I was wondering how long it takes to "break in" I was also wondering how level it needs to be to work, and is it fromt to back and right to left or just front to back? It is creating a whole lot of small bubbles, but I hear that is normal.

I just got my Remora and it recommends rinsing it with warm water, since I don't have a ready supply of warm saltwater, will it hurt to rinse in warm tap?

Hey marine aquarist type people,, When I do my water change, I feel like I am sorta guessing to get a certain specific gravity. Is there a formula to get a certain specific gravity? Does it change from salt to salt? That sounds kinda stupid, but gimme a break, I'm new

It's still a baby, just a month old but I think it is shaping up well

Wait , I said I don't think it will be a problem. That doesn't mean I am right, in fact I am often wrong. Listen to Viper before me.....I just got into the marine aquarium scene and I am still in the phase where I buy impulsively and make egregious errors. I expect it will be some time before I...

It should only be a problem if they are in close vicinity where stinging each-other is a danger. as it is they are a good distance apart and neither has moved, so I don't think it will be a problem.

would it be better to have a smaller sized clown of the same type?

Is the skunk a lot more agressive than the Oscelaris? I didn't know it would be a problem. I don't want to kill fish, if the skunk is going to kill my oscelaris I will take the oscelaris back for credit
