The coral was opening durring the day when I first got it, but then it quit inflating. I checked on it at about 12:00 A.M. last night and it still wasn't inflated. I have tried to feed it, but I can't figure out a good way to do it. I think I am going to get a bulb and pipette from work and blow...

I already posted this question in the Coral forum, but there seems to be more on trading there than the kinds of answers I am looking for so that is why I am double posting. I hope someone can help. I bought a new green Fungia coral about 1 week ago and now it is not expanding. For the first...

I bought a new green Fungia coral about 1 week ago and now it is not expanding. For the first couple of days the coral was expanding very large and was quite beautiful. In the last couple of days it has been expanding less and less and now all it does is puff out it's tentacles and doesn't...

Since my sump just has a couple of filters and a bio-wheel could I just construct a fuge to hold these items? Then the water would still be being treated in basically the same way that it is now while allowing the different oraganisims to grow, right? Once the organisims are growing well in the...

Rapid Frog Thank you for the help. Your explanation was exactly what I was looking for. What you have is basically what I was figuring on putting in, but I just wasn't sure if I could completely remove my sump or not. I do have another question though. Can I just put together a refugium one day...

I messed around with the connections in the back of the tank and I think the air was comming from the zip tie being lose on the hose. I don't know why JBJ did such a hoakey job with their connections, but I think I am going to glue the hose or just use stainless hose clamps. Thank you for the...

I currently have an 80 gallon bow front tank with a 15 gallon sump. The sump consits of two different size filters then the water flows over a big biowheel. I also have a Turbofloator 1000 protien skimmer in the sump. After the water is treated it is then returned to the tank. I currently have a...

I understand that the air has to be comming from somewhere, but I sure can't figure out where it is comming from so I am hoping that someone has an idea. Brandon

I recently set up a JBJ 24 gallon nano in my bedroom and have had it running for a while. I currently have some live rock, 2 damsels, an anemone, and 2 mushrooms in the tank. Everything is doing great and is cycling just fine, but I have recently ran into a problem with my pump, I think. A...

What are the units of measurement for calcium? I know that the calcium levels should be around 450 ppm, but 450 ppm of what? I have a TDS meter, is there a conversion?

I've been looking at the retrofits, but I'm not sure how to make one work without buying a hood as well. Thanks for replies, any help is appreciated.

Doesn't anyone have an opinion, I could really use the help before I purchase.

I am going to replace my lighting for my 80 gallon bow front reef tank. I can't quite afford metal hallide so I am going with pc's. I've been looking around on ---- and there are two that sound good to me. One light is a Jebo 48" 4 X 65 total of 260 Watts for $122.99 plus shipping and the other...

Thank you for all the responses. According to the company that I bought the rock from, the rock was pre cured, but it sounds like they miss informed me. So far I have done the water changes and put the carbon online. I have also added a product called Cycle that is supposed to add enzymes to the...

I just added 66 lbs of live rock to my tank and my ammonia levels have jumped out of sight. I made sure to wash the rock good before I added it to my tank, but for some reason I still have the spike. I already had 1 fish die and my others aren't doing very good. I also did a 25% - 30% water...

Thanks to both of you that responded to my post. I ended up building and installing a durso standpipe. The new stand pipe works perfect and I think it wil do exactly what I need it to do. I am amazed how big of a difference it makes and how easy it was to build and install. Just thought I...

I've recently set up my new to me Marineland 80 gallon Euro with a Tidepool 2 filteration system. My problem is how noisy the overflow of the tank is. All the water goes down a tube in the tank to the Tidepool system in the stand that the tank sits on. As the water flows into the overflow, the...
