    On a bright side I am so happy that with me feeding every other day now, bigger sump, and shorter light times I am getting a hold on the cyanobacteria. It's finally starting to recede.

    Why is it crap always happens when your like 2 days from fixing the problem? I went away for a couple days to visit family and came home to my powder blue no longer with us.

    Yeah. I am so lucky we dont have carpet. The tank is on tile. I would have been dead if it was carpet. I ended up telling her and she just laughed (more at the fact that my first reaction was not to unplug the return pump but attempt to hold the water in. Amazing how conveniently the brain shuts...

    Way of cleaning filter sock

    I was just came on to post a thread on this. How convenient. So this verifies my question. So it sounds like a lot reuse their filter socks. If you wash them in the machine doesn't it collect the chemicals in the tap water? Hope that isn't a dumb questions.

    Sump help

    I posted this in my reef diary with not much response so I thought I would ask here. So I ordered a new sump tank. It's a 30g show. 36x16x12. I am gonna try my hand in putting in the baffles. We'll see how it goes. I added a picture to show you my idea on where and what I am doing. First baffle...

    HollywoodDiver's 60G reef diary

    Well I like the UHE system but in no way can i afford that. I can pay maybe around 250 with pump. I was looking at the Kent Marine Maxxima 24 GPD RO/DI System. I looks like it doesn't use a pump but I dunno. I like the buck eye unit but have never heard of it so I'm sure if I see some reviews on...
