Instant Ocean is the way to go for me as well.

Just remember to feed them at least twice a week as well. Most anemone deaths are from starvation...

I purchased 3 of them the other day and they are great. They are very reef safe and do a really good job on bubble and other nasty algea. enjoy~

Well, I kind of agree with Sam. My ph is a constant 8.4 and my alk has dropped to 1.5. That's pretty low!! I used to have a nice constant alk level at 3.5. "I can't keep it up" <--- no pun intended!.

I just purchased 3 that are about 1/2" body length yesterday. They are neat to have if you have trouble algae or bubble. That one that you were offered, I wouldn't consider putting in my 55 gallon let alone a 16 gallon. But one that is small first. My 2.

Bummer, I was just about to get two of them. Is there any other power head on the market that will do the sweeping feature? It is a shame, I would rather be able to use this feature than have to spend a hundred on special powerheads and a wave timer.

I'll tell you what, the HD here sells only South Down stuff. All garden rocks, small and large as well as 2 different kinds of sand. I guess that we "east coast" people are just kind of lucky. :p

For all those in the Northern VA/Washington DC area, Home Depot in Sterling has tons of Southdown for 3.49 per 50lb bags. I just picked up 300lbs for under 25.00. Woo Hoo!! Just an fyi.

I have purchased, in the past, about 3 anemones. 1 long tent. and 2 seabeas. I am able to keep them for about 3 months then they seem to just die. I have a 55 gal standard with 257w worth of light. 2 96w PC and 1 65w PC. This is 4.6w per gallon. All testing is done on a regular basis. The only...

Would this be a dual 65w 48" light. I have 2 36" 96w csl retros in my 55gal. with just these two i have several different types of leather corals doing great. granted that i have just a little more wattage than yours but you really shouldn't have any problems. one more 48" retro would be great...

Damn.....get a new calcium test kit and re-test. that sounds scary.

I have used Kick Ich and it worked very well for my tank. Thank the all mighty, I only had to use it once. Follow the directions and complete the full cycle. This is important. Good luck. naso~

I have recently dismantled my 37 gallon reef and moved most stuff to my 55.I have a lot of the live rock from the 37 in a bucket with a powerhead and saltwater. These rock have a lot of aiptasia on them. I understand that copper will kill inverts and anemones. Do you think that I can medicate...

Currently have a Naso @ 5", a Purple @ 4" and may be looking to add a Regal when I move up in size.

I am looking to upgrade my tank. I have someone that is getting rid of a 150 gallon tank that is close to 48"x30"x30". It is a nice "cube" looking tank. When you rate your 5 gal per inch of fish, is it the volume of the tank or is it length that is better. In other words, would one provide a...

I got a backpak 2 that i think makes no noise. + it is a great skimmer in my opinion. what size tank?

I have a 6" wide U-tube external overfow system with a 1" bulkhead as well as a 1" tube to sump. I am curious as if i can add another u-tube to this to increase flow rate to the sump. Has anyone tried this? I know it will work but will the 1" bulkhead be able to withstand this? Thanks all.

I just replaced my Magnum 350 Pro with a 10 gallon sump that I put together. Sonny is right, the Magnum is a nitrate factory. I could never keep mine down. Also true about teh bio balls. If you buy the wet dry toss the balls out and just use it as a sump. my opinion.

I have the same skimmer with the rio 600 pump and have not had any problems with it yest. It has bee up and running great for about 5 months. It does take a couple of days for it to start kicking in. Stick with it. I would like to change the 600 for an 800 though. If you do make sure it is the...

This is more of a gripe than a question. I bought an Acrylic Creations external U tube overflow with a 1" dia. drain and the LFS that sold it to me said that it has a 800 gph rate. He also told me that a rio 2500 open full with no restriction would be fine. Well, I have it all set up and I will...
