I used the overflow version of the unit and there wasn't a sponge that went there... The fish are doing better one of the Chromis is still stressed and the Yellow is coming around. Corals/Inverts seem to be alright. I'm in the process of cleaning my stuff. What should I be doing to clean out...

Levels in the QT are at zero - Its been up and running for little over a year. I haven't kept fish in it at all times but I used it to grow some pods/caulpera. All of my LFS is out of the tank aside from my 2 cleaners and any scavenging red legs. The Yellow for a longtime was laying on its...

I ran out of Carbon and didn't replace it. So no, I'm not running any carbon. I pulled a peice of LR out and it looks like the parts that were white from getting no light even are turning an orange/brown. Its nasty in there I took a few pictures I'll post them when I have it all fixed. Crossing...

Yeah - I'm using tap water to mix up salt so I an try to get the LR and Corals into something. My QT isn't big enough to hold all my rock and that. I need to know how to clean out tubs and my skimmer, Water and Vinegar? This only happened in the 6 hours I was sleeping so I hope that what is in...

I think if my past reading have been correct. The Tang is on the bottom of the QT breathing heavy and he is hemroging (Spelled totally wrong) slightly. I have been told when the Tangs (Yellows especially) start to show red through their scales it is due to lack of oxygen. He tried to swim a few...

Hello - My Phosban Reactor been running for the last few days everything was fine. I just woke up to find my entire fish tank Brown.... It looks like mud and the Phosban stuff is on everything. My fish are skimming skiddish atleast the ones I can see........ My Yellow Tang is in my QT laying on...

Alright Kip thanks. I'll split them. I'm gonna steal your rack idea and go with 4 30 gallons. Gonna run 2 ES5-3s, I suppose then 1 Calc Reactor on the 2 SPS Tanks, Debating if I wanna go MH for both. I've gotten mixed answers on whether or not I will notice significant softie growth using a MH...

You run it seperate why? Soloely for the purpose of protecting the SPS from the Softies?

Yeah I read it. If I had 4, 30 gallon tanks that should be more then enough room to grow out frags, nothin would ever touch. My concern is under what conditions would a softie release toxins. If it is only if it is getting defensive it wouldn't be a problem. I am more concerned if some sort of...

I've been planning to set-up 2, 55 Gallon Prop Tanks. I am stealing Kips idea and stacking them up. To stack the 55 over the other I am worried that their may not be enough support for the top 55 if I didn't run a Center front brace up from the floor.. I decided it almost maybe better to set-up...

I'm on Veeshan. I have 15 level 62+ characters I've leveled or been given from my buddies who have quit over the years.

I just got back from my LFS. First time I ever went to this guy, very awesome guy to deal with. After doing some measuring there was no possible way that the ES6-2+ was gonna fit in my sump so I had to get the ES5. I'm turning this 55 into a prop tank so I'm gonna let this ES5 carry over to this...

Right now the tank the skimmer is gonna go on is a 55. I'm bumping up the tank size for my display very soon and turning the 55 into a prop tank. This might be a way you want to go here. I talked to my guy at the LFS this morning and told him I was looking for the ES5-3 and the CS6-2+. He told...

Thanks, I actually bought a box in Feb thinking it might work and tossed them in so they've been in the sump a few months now. With the baffles etc they can't move far from where I have them at. I'm looking to set-up a nice size QT in the up and coming weeks along with a few other fish projects...

If I took a box of Bio-balls dumped them into my already established tank (IE the Sump) where they just floated around in there would they grow the beneficial bacteria on them? Thinking about doing that so I have them for future applications where I could set-up a QT without having to cycle.

I've been doing alot of research on the Euro-reef line of skimmers the last 3 days. It should handle a 75 gallon reef no problem. Most places say it is rated for 90gal. Alot of people with 55-90 gallon tanks who have a Euro-reef seem to have this one. I am going Friday when my LFS is open for...

Any of you guys play Everquest? What server you play on and your level?

Hello - Is this possible? The fish had over a dozen spots on his body last night, 24 hours later he doesn't have a single one. Seems weird all the Ick would abandoned ship all at once and nothing would reattach. Can a fish stress out, get ick but then immediately fight the ick off?

Yeah - It sounds to me if your gonna really assure yourself of not getting ick you let anything your about to put in the tank sit for 45 days and and new fish get Hypo. I find it hard to believe if this becomes a new trend that people will have the patience or beable to afford second set-ups...

Hello - Just some history here - Year and 2 Months ago my tank got Ick. I had no QT at the time. For the sake of my fish, I simply returned them all to the LFS and he took care of the situation, nothing died and I let him sell them all while my tank sat. My tank sat _fishless_ for 45 calendar...
