i can remove the bio balls slowly, but i wanted to get rid of the bubbles injected by the wet/dry. i found the pwrhd and 330's alot cheaper over the internet, so it would take awhile b4 i got the new filters. how slow should i remove the balls(how many balls/day)? thanks.

my tank is a 120gal. i was thinking the same thing about removing the bacteria build-up. i may be wrong, but isnt there alot of bacteria in the 125lbs of live rock? i guess i could introduce one 330 and later add the other one later.

i would like to replace my existing wet/dry filter with two marineland 330's. i also have a remora-pro hot skimmer and about 125 lbs of live rock. my sand bed varies from 3" to 4 or 5"(about 40lbs are live sand). i have one good powerhead and one not-so-good(which i'd replace with a better...

thanks mike!!! i used too fine a picture (too many pixels on original snap shot). its kind of hard to see any detail. the original came out alot better. thanks again for your help.

i'm sorry folks. i'm new at attaching pics to this site. i thought i had it, but obviously not.

try pic again

well...that didnt work. can anyone tell me how to add pics to my reply? thanks

heres a couple pics of my tank, first time, so i hope this works. the dots below the skimmer box on the left side are the coralline algae spots.

does it add any other benifits other than looking cool?

yep, that appears to be what it is. i took some pics w/my digital camera, but the batteries died. once they're recharged, i'll take some more and see if i can post them here. i'm new w/the camera, so i'm having trouble w/close-ups of the coralline algae.

hi folks, i noticed a light violet colored growth on my power hd and on the glass. up close it looks crystal-like. does anyone know what that is?

could this be a featherduster worm?

i just brought some more live rock home and while adding the rock, i noticed something that came out of the rock. it looks just like an earth worm, except it has a fuzzy orange plume at the tip. these orange plumes extend out to be tenticle-like feelers that reach about a foot or more in...

does anyone have any experience with the coral trout/jewel bass grouper? he's a beautiful color red with blue spots.

i may have made the cardinal sin of marine aquarists!! i took the word of a fish store worker. he said this grouper would be okay with a fox face, volitan lion and a future huma huma trigger. the grouper is red with blue spots. he's about 4 to 5" long. when i got him home i looked on the web...

now that i can see his back, i see a patch of skin about the size of a nickel missing. he seems alot more sluggish, but he's still hanging on the glass. i didnt notice any of the fish picking on him and they're all fairly docile.

my bahama starfish is still on the glass of the tank and slowly moving, but he has alot of stringy slime oozing from his back. what could this be and how's it caused?:(

ifound this bulb on marinelands website. ZOO MED FLUORESCENT LAMP 24" REEF SUN 50/50. i'll have to write them to see if it would fit in my fixture. or i could look in a lfs. it's 17 watts. i guess the fixture can only handle 18 watts.

no hood. just two thin black encasements that sit atop the glass covers.

when i first got my blonde naso as i was acclimating him with the lights off, after a couple hours i looked briefly with a flashlight and mine had those white spots all over his body. by the time it was ready to turn the lights on, they were gone and mine is in perfect shape.
