    Can a hammer and a frogspawn be near each other

    What should the distance be between the 2. Since they are from the same family I would think they would not send out feelers and have a war.

    sun corals

    light has no benifits, so you can put them in total darkness, they like alot of water movement so they can catch food. I feed bloodworms thru a turkey baster with pumps off, this way gets at least 4 or 5 bloodworms to each polyp. You can even feed silversides or krill almost whole.

    Red Chili Coral????

    I found it easy to take care of, keep it out of direct light, I have mine hanging under a cave. I put a rock on top of a finger to hold it and it overhangs the cave. It will attach to the rocks. Give it moderate flow so algae does not adhere to it. It filter feeds from its polyps and it...

    Need ideas for vent on top of canopy.

    Go to HD and go to the vent section, they have grilles that are used for bathroom vents. Then you could cut out the canopy top and install this for a clean look

    RO/DI Installation

    I have responded to this before, as long as you have access to the supply valve under the sink and can shut it off, replace (if needed) the hose/pipe that comes from the valve and goes to the faucet with a pvc line. Takes about 15min. Then you can attach the piercing valve. You can leave the...

    Tapwater filter from Aquar. Pharm.

    It really is a stop gap measure. It works well but goes fast. I used one to start my 45g tank. After 3 filter changes in 9 months I decided just to get a ro/di for $150 airwaterice 100g day unit. More money up front but savings down the road. Better water and faster. I know money was tight...

    RO/DI unit from airwaterice

    It could be 2 things, one that it does have sediment so maybe flush the system and two, it depends on temp of water. All units are rated at 72 degree temp as optimal. Every degree less you lose 1.6%. My water in the winter right now is 52 so 100g/day unit is now 68g/day
