WOW! I just came on here to ask the same exact question!! The head just fell off my duster. I suppose I need to remove the head/feathers from the bottom of my tank?? I haven't tested the water in a few days...I will do that now.

Welcome!! This site is BY FAR the most helpful I have found!! I have learned soo much by reading all the posts on here. Also, a good book is helpful. I got (because of many recommendations on here) The Conscienctious Marinine Aquarist and it is easy to follow and very useful...Good Luck!

Thanks for your help! The skimmer and powerheads were my next two purchases, anyway...sounds good!!!

I was wrong, I have an Emperor 400 (with Biowheel), not 800...do you still that this would work on a reef tank? Thanks!

I have a 55gal and currently run an Emperor 800...I only have LR in the tank now and some damsels. I am looking to make this a reef tank with coral and just 2-3 fish. I am considering a wet/dry. I was looking for a post on the benefits of this system and could not find one. Would a wet/dry...

Thanks! Will the lion be OK in the tank through a small cycle? I really don't have much choice but to put him in there...

Hello and welcome!! I am new to SW, also...I have 2 tanks that just finished cycling. My advice would be to read as much on the message board as possible. I have learned SOOOO much from reading the threads on here! I only wish I had found this site before I started my tanks! I would also...

I currently have a 20 gal tank...I was under the impression that this was a 30 gal until Sunday when I saw a 30 at LFS and noticed it was a bit bigger than mine. Anyway, LFS told me a Volitan lion would be OK in a 30gal, so I bought it 2 weekends ago. Now that I found out it was only a 20 gal...

The lionfish is in a seperate tank that really was finished cycling when the LFS told me it was(surprise;) ) ...I did a water change and all has been fine since--that was a few weeks ago. The tank cycling now has had 0.25 ammonia for past week with Nitrates at 20 and Nitrites between 0.5-1...pH...

Thank you, that was really driving me nuts!!

UH-OH!! I saw the crab that came in my LR the other morning...I have only seen it twice, but I know it definately has a lot of hair!!! I should get rid of it!?!?!?

Again...LFS said damsels would aide in cycling. I have CC instead of LS since LFS (I am beginning to really dislike them) said either would be about the same. Will LR and CC work the same in cycling as LR and DSB??

LFS said since the nitrates were high, it was done cycling. A water change should lower them and that was it! So, my nitrates and ammonia should go to zero by themselves with no water change?? Also, I have 20 lbs LR in the tank (I bought it under the impression that after the water change my...

Only caution is to get as many of the red crabs out of it that you can now or you'll be sorry down the road. WHY!?!?!?

I have a 55 gal, LFS said was finished cycling last Friday and all I needed to do was 50% water change and I should be good to go. I did this and tested water, Nitrites, Nitrates, and Ammonia were still very high (unfortunately, do not have the results). I changed 20 more gallons and my levels...

What size tank is your Prizm for?

In SW, biggest is better...:D

Thank you! Looks like back to the LFS I go!!

Awesome, thanks!

What would you really suggest to do with the damsels...I have considered the the toilet, but I just could not bring myself to do that!
