Krusk ... Im trying to do that. I noticed it gets REAL quiet when I tape the hose closed. But Im confused... One end of tube to pump.. other end to stone... where do you put the stone? Inside the chamber or inside the collection cup?

Loud. Great customer service though and easy enough to use.

No, unfort. they prob wont help. You need to correct the source of your replacement water. Tap water feeds this stuff. RO/DI water should help but even that wont eliminate the stuff. Good news is it should pass in a month or 2 and give way to exciting and more challenging types of algae...

If I get a sand sifting star in a cc tank, will he turn the crushed coral?

I use tap water too, but I was going to buy the RO/DI unit (new on ---- $170). Now that I hear that doesnt rid the problem, Ill hold off 6 months. Im getting a cleanup kit in a month, maybe that will help.

Hi. Im looking at the same setup. Havent gotten out of my cycle yet, but in a 72 bow... flame angel (no other pygmies) 4 catalina gobies (is 4 a good number for 70g?) yellow tang. 2 true percs (buying a young pair from ***** $13@) cleanup crew (lucky horseshoe package) maybe a bat, but they get...

Sounds like this may be the brown algae diatom bloom that Im going through. From what I hear its normal from about 5 weeks to 3 months and then goes away. I just wipe it off the inside of the glass with a rag and mix up the cc a bit and catch as much as I can with a net or a siphon. Hopefully...

I think that if you give your tank more that 10 hours of light per day, youre encouraging algae growth. 8-10 hours is good.

Most important is to make sure that nothing is going to topple over (or be toppled over). Broken glass is probably the worst thing that can happen! Heavier stuff and 'clumsier' stuff should be on the bottom.

One thing about the prizm is they have the BEST SUPPORT IVE EVER SEEN! I called to get the new impeller and they shipped it out. When that didnt quiet the prizm down, they sent me AN ENTIRE MOTOR ASSEMBLY FOR FREE!! They didnt even ask for the old one back. Cant go wrong with that!

Ive got a 5 week old 75 gallon tank with cc, 5 damsels, and 10lbs of live rock. I started it with a fluval 304 (rated max 70 gallons). Yes, I should have gone with the 404. Question is would I benefit from running and second 304 along side the current one, or should I just cash in and exchange...

I have a fluval 304 on my 72 gallon (new on ----, $70.) I WISH I could go back and get a 404 instead.

choc chips are carnivores, not detrivores. They will eat other starfish (fishes).

RIP Slinky the Blue Linky Never add a blue star at the 2 month mark. Doh! He lasted 3 days. He was even active for 2 of them, but when his stomach comes out of his mouth, its time to re-assest your patience-in-fish-buying skills

Choc chips stars have been known to eat at least blue linkias

Well, dont keep us hanging! What is it? I got "the bloom" 3 weeks in but it vacuumed off my cc ok.

I had no probs with a 12 hour acclimation of a blue star and today I added 2 brittles stars in 2 hours. Im sure there's a safe way to do things, but I decided to go for it after 12 hours. He seems happy. He even went for a walk across my 70 gallon tank within 15 minutes. No offense Tang, I...

Does a sand sifting star do any good in a cc tank? Would he even live?

Thanks Deuce- Great name, im jealous! I bought 2 serpent stars today since i loved the blue so much! I sat there and just watched him for an hour! He even budged!!

Please tell me more about the calcium deposits... Why do I need to add calcium, how much in a 75 gallon tank for 1 blue star?
