I've actually got two feeding questions: I picked up a 3" Naso last week and so far the only thing he'll eat is Nori. I'm not that concerned because he goes thru 2 3-4" sheets (in the clip) per day. But I'm wondering if I should be soaking it before putting it in the tank? It obviously...

Anyone ever tried to modify a Remora Pro skimmer for use in a sump? I posted a thread a few weeks ago about attempting to hang a Remora Pro off a sump, however after taking a look at the Urchin's I've realized the two models really aren't that different. For instance, it appears as if the Urchin...

I'm currently running a 90g which has been up for almost a year. I have a 4" DSB, Emperor 400 filter, Remora Pro hang-on skimmer, and 30-40lbs LR. I very interested in incorporating a sump and/or refugium into my system...to increase efficiency, water volume, grow macroalgae, and get the...

Hey everybody, I know the correct procedure for acclimating a new fish (mixing tank water with the new fish's bag water, etc.) but I'm a little unclear as to how to acclimate when employing a preventative dip. In other words...if I purchase a fish and plan on QTing him for 2wks (either with or...

Hi, I have a question. When my 90g finished cycling about 2wks ago I added 2 small false percs and a bicolor blenny. About 3 days ago I noticed the blenny diving into the sandbed (not headfirst, more with his tailend) almost as if he were trying to scratch himself. At about the same time I...

I know I've seen this question dealt with before, but I can't seem to find it in a search. I have a 300gph powerhead in my 90g. The powerhead has a venturi valve which intoduces air into the powerhead water flow (with the valve open, the powerhead produces alot of very small bubbles...almost a...

Can somebody explain "dry foam" to me. I just finished cycling a 90g fowlr and purchased an Aqua C Remora Pro skimmer. From what I've read about skimmers...they all need adjustment and the trick is to adjust them so you get a nice..."dry foam". But what the heck is..."dry foam"? My particular...

I just finished cycling my first saltwater tank. The specs are: 90g, emperor 400 biowheel powerfilter, 15-20lbs LR, 4" sand bed which is approx 25% LS and 75% oolitic, cycled with raw shrimp. Here's my question...the tank appears to be finished cycling but I'm getting a zero/minimal nitrate...

I'm interested in getting one of the species of goby that forms a relationship with a shrimp (I believe a pistol srhimp). But I'd also like one that sifts sand and is fairly hardy (I'm new to this hobby). I see that someone else recently posted a similiar question, but without the shrimp aspect...
