Hi guys I come for advice..... I have a porcupine puffer in my 125 gallon fish only tank..Tanks paramaters are all perfect, well established with a 20 gallon sump and a total of 100+ pounds of live rock. Its day 3 still havn't gotten him to eat. i know its not a large concern at this time but I...

Ok heres what baffles me, I have a 55 gallon tank with a 800gph over flow and a 9.5 mag return pump on the return i have a tee that i can open to have less flow to the dt and recirculates it to the first compartment of the sump. That said i have to have that valve almost all the way open to keep...

i say if u dont have a large quarantine tank get a large Rubbermaid, mix up some water in there put a heater and a couple of power heads in there , and place lr,inverts and anything else hypo kill kill in there and do hypo on the dt tank for 6-8 week, thats enough time to kill ick in the dt and...

when mine got stuck in my koralia #3 power head, i took a pair of wire snips and cut the plastic slits out of the power head (that he was stuck between) and let him do the rest from there, power head still worked afterwards and he made a complete recovery

i'm not telling you it will work.....but i do have both in my 55g (flame & coral) been in there for about 6 months now and they have never bothered each other yet. Got a 125 ready to go for when I move to my new house in May so they will have a bigger home before they get two big. oh yeah i...

flame angel or a coral beauty, any of the dwarf angels have that eye popping color

yeah i'm wondering if i should just remover the pre filter, any one know how hard this is on the pump to run it without the prefilter?

Here is my question I know people say that if you have a sump full of pods that some will get sucked into the DT. By giving them a safe place to multiple and no predators will eat them that you will be able to substain a decent population..and so on So I have 55 DT and a 20 gallon sump full of...

i could be wrong but, if you run the water through the 100 gpd membrane and then through another 75 gpd membrane you would be wasting more water better to just go with the 75 gpd membrane and leave it at that

i'm a skinny guy, and so was the guy who helped me load it and we did just fine, tank was 125gallon long

I've use a j-style overflow and have never had it fail to start up after i turn off my return pump daily to feed, in fact i think i will always use hob overflows, don't like all the wasted space that the reef ready tank overflows uses up, just my honest opinion

so what you are saying if the bacteria that breaks down nitrate most grow slower that the bacteria that converts ammonia into the final product of nitrate, because it they were the same growth rate then we would never have a nitrate problem, thus trying to justify your believe that the bacteria...

take a piece of airline tube the 1/4 in stuff and stick it down the drain and move it up and down, it will take some time to find the sweet spot that will make it run silent another thing to try is the hofer gurgle buster, i use this on my eshopp over flow and its completely silent not sure if...

I've turned the skimmer off for piece of mind in the past if i was worried about a flood, so yeah if you want turn the skimmer off if you want, for the filter are you talking about a HOB filter? If so I would just let it run they very reliable and would be very unlikely to cause a flood.....imo

in my sump the first compartment is the hieghest as the over flows fill it it overflows into compartment two which is not as high, as it fills from the overflow from compartment one it cause it to overflow into the last compartment which is were the return pump is and is being feed by the...
