Just bought the shrimp and hoping for the best.

I moved the live rock around today to create more caves and allow for more water flow in the back. Someone mentioned highlighting the fish vs. the rock, and I agree. This tank is just being redone and there are very few fish. My plan is to add a wide variety of small species, instead of the...

My LFS sells an insertable, acrylic refugium for about $80. It will meet my needs, but it is a little small. I may go that route. It certainly seems easier than buying a piece of glass and fitting it in the sump. It's pricey, but I'm not sure I'm up for the cut and paste route..

Right. I didn't see the overflow going into the fuge. I thought I was just sitting on the side without any flow. So, I guess I need to figure out how to put baffles in the glass tank. Do you have any suggestions? Perhaps I can just put a container, like a large tupperware, underneath the...

Thanks. I did spend some time on Melev's site. It's excellent. It looks like, in the example he shows, that the refugium does not have direct water flow through the fuge. It looks like just a little water flows back and forth at the surface. Is that right?

I have a 150 gal FOWLR with a 20-30 gal sump. (I never measured the volume.) The two overflows enter the sump on the left, and there is one baffle on the right part of the sump. I have a skimmer and a UV sterilizer. Here is what I am thinking as a new set up for the sump: Left side of the...

Sweet! Cool looking tank man

Can you make your sump into a refugium?

I used to try to fight aiptasia with kalkwasser (I understand it's the same as Joe's Juice). After the litle anemones invaded the whole tank, so I went out and bought a butterfly fish. That poor thing didn't stand a chance. He could have eaten for years off all the gunk in my 150 gal FOWLR...

I just got a sixline. Doesn't take up much room, doesn't cost much and it's a beauty. Oh, and they tell me it will eat my bristleworms.

Thanks guys. I will be adding more small, 1-2" fish, of whatever type are compatible. I just want to try something different and experiment. I will probably leave the rock for now, but maybe shift it in time. I think I would need to take too much out to be able to see everything. Anyway, the...

the only other filtration i have is two filter bags under the overflows. the 1 lb per gal. is a useful tip. thanks

kool. but i still cant see my little fish, or my shrimp. If I cut back will I still have enough rock to breakdown fish waste? ie. How little is too little?

Sigh... =(

I have noticed that other tanks do not use as much live rock as I do. The rock was no issue when I had larger fish, but I am switching to smaller ones, and they have lots of places to hide. My water quality seems good, but I hate to throw away good live rock. Am I addicted? Should I cut back?

Here it is. Do I have too much live rock?.... I am going to start a thread about this as well

grrrr. I hate having to type out my tank details everytime =(

How can I enter my signature into my profile? The FAQ says an admin must turn this option on. Thanks. -Jake

I put a Royal Gramma and a chalk basslet together in my tank about a week ago. I run a 150 gal. F/O with over 100 lbs of live rock. The two fish are not disturbing each other, and I want to add more chalk basslets despite the mild warnings I have seen on the shopping portion of this website. How...
