No I don't have any live rock. I have had the cpr working 10 days. Before the cpr I had a skilter & protein skimmer. I don't believe the skimmer would be the reason, since I have had a skimmer prior to this one. I appreciate your advise and I will keep a close eye. Thank you!

I understand that the lower the nitrate the better. I have had my 40 gal f* o for about 16 months. I have recently put in a cpr bakpak to replace a worn out skilter (used). I have 1 clown, 1 yellow tank, 1 lunar wrasse. My ammonia, nitrite levels are always 0. I can not seem to get the...

I assume that what I am hearing is air noise. Is there anyway to quiet it down? I really notice it when all the kids and husband and the TV have gone to bed. Before I installed this I just had a filter and you didn't hear it at all. Guess I'll have to get used to it. Thanks for your input

Just purchased and installed a cpr bak pak2 on my 40 gal f/o. Question is I was under the inpression that it would be quiet. Was I missinformed or should there be some noise?

Thanks for the info! I will let them be. When I am able to add some new friends, do you have any suggestions?

First and foremost, HAPPY NEW YEAR!. Okay here is the deal. My husband and I recently had to move my 40 gal. f/o because of new carpeting being installed. My fish (1 clown, 1 hawk and 1 wrasse) were in temporary housing for approximatley 30 minutes while we drained most of the water, moved...

I realize that this subject was just recently discussed. However, my questions could not be answered in the previous discussions. I too, had a seaclone skimmer. I have a f/o 40 gal., it was working fine until I had to move tank for painting and new carpet. Went to reinstall the skimmer and...

Thank you all for all of your input!!! That is what we will do!

I have crushed coral. I had an undergravel filter, but I took it out as it was making a mess of the tank. I also just found out that my husband want to replace the carpeting. If I remove appox. 10-15 gal in order to move tank temporarily and then return the water back into tank, will I hurt...

Hello, I have a 40 gal f/o with two powerheads in each far corner. I also have a skillter 250 which I only use as a filter, and I also have a seaclone skimmer. The question is, What would you recommend to upgrade the filtering part of my setup also would I be further ahead to go with a...

Hello, I have a 40 gal f/o that has been up and running since Jan.'00, I have a clown, rainbow wrasse, and spotted hawk. My question is this, I have had the Hawk since March and doing great. However, lately he seems to be hiding alot, and doesn't seem very aggresive when it comes to eating...

I have a 40 f/o it is on a wooden cabinet. We will be painting the room it is in soon. How long can I leave it unplugged (If necessary) and any clue as to how to move it? Thank you for your help!!

Thanks so much Steve and others I will try this and get back to you guys next week. Any suggestions as to what kind of friends I can add. I have had an awful time with Triggers (All died) and went through two yellow tangs. The only ones left are the beginning fish: Clown and hawkfish. Thanx...

Thank you all for you wisdom!!! I will be taking your advice. Steve, you had mentioned that you have a skilter in your tank. What size is it (the filter) I am only using the filter part as my protien skimmer part was malfunctioning. That is why I have a Seaclone skimmer as well. My skilter...

I am curious.....how much does a wet/dry system cost? I realize there are many variables, but I wondered roughly what they run?

How do I do that? Wouldn't I have to start all over again? If I don't have the u/g filter, then what do I do with the power heads? I really don't understand. I am very new to this my tank has been up and running since Jan. I guess I need major help. I was told that the u/g filter would be...

Hello, I have a 38 gal. f/o tank. It has an u/g filter with protien skimmer, skilter filter, two powerheads. My friends are down to 1 clown and 1 hawkfish. All water levels were fine then all of the sudden my nitrates went up to .40 and my yellow tang died. I was wondering if the two were...

I have the same problem with brown algae. My tank has been setupsince November. I have been told it will turn to green, it has not yet. When it does are you suppose to remove it or let it go. If you do remove it, How?

Is there only one kind of these on the market? I have the one made my Aquarium Pharmaceuticals. I have never seen any other kind. It does the job however it is rather slow. Also should I be using any additives? When doing a 20% change on a 40 gal tank, do you need to heat the new water, if so...
