    Aqua C Remora Pro Protein Skimmer

    If you are using the Remora "pro" you still might be underpowering it with the maxi-jet 1200. The Remora Standard comes w either a MJ 1200 or Rio 800 pump, the Pro comes w either Mag 3 or Rio 1400. Position of the collection cup is the biggest thing with these. There is also a port with a...

    What in the world is this thing?!

    I pryed this off of the stalk of one of my button polyps today, it had a tentacle wrapped around the stalk twice and it hung on pretty well. Its center is about the size of a large pea, it has 2 long tentacles coming off each end and a number of small spines. Its lying on the bottom of the...

    Studies on blue hippos

    Our little hippo responded well to soaking its food in Kent's garlic xtreme before feeding. I assume that garlic boosts their immune systems?

    What powerhead?

    What Koralias did you buy? 2's or 3's? Are they the new (post recall) design? Were the impellers/magnets slamming back and forth every time the pump started?. Putting the spacer over the end of that shaft seems to be working as far as limiting the travel (and noise) when the pump engages.

    What powerhead?

    Couldn't tell you anything about the Seio, they seem like good pumps... Thought of getting them myself. The magnet mounts and ball joints on the Koralia's are a plus for them, you can easily move them around and not have to worry about suction cups drying out and the pump falling down. The...

    What powerhead?

    Well, I finally got my 2 Koralia 3's after putting down the money over a month ago and they run great when they run full time... Unfortunately with my wavemaker (Red Sea Wavemaster Pro) which is supposed to be a "soft starter" the impeller assembly jumped up and down the shaft several times each...

    65 coralife super skimmer need help

    How big are the tanks that you all are using the coralife 65's on? I have a 60 gallon and wonder whether it would be sufficient (you know how the manufacturer ratings go). I know they make a 125 model but it requires 8" between the wall and the tank, I have 6" clearance and moving the tank out...

    Snails and green hair algae

    Thanks guys, I'll check the LFS to see whether they have any Mexican turbos. I had bought a sea hare thinking that he would do it but it ended up eating alot of the red algae that I like (not the cyano) along with some plants that were beginning to sprout.

Everybody seems to like the algaes that I allow to coat the back glass but dont touch the hair algae on...

    lionfish trouble

    Your lion may have been sick when you bought it from the store. Mine was chowing down on guppies the first day. Got him eating chopped raw jumbo shrimp now but thats all he'll take and only if I offer it to him, he won't eat it dropped in the tank. But he is a pig and is growing like a weed.
