I have run a JBJ 1/3HP chiller for 3 years without issues. This past week the chiller blew a fuse, changed it and started fine. 24 hrs later noticed chiller was out again. Repeated process, did basic service (cleaned out with air compressor) started fine. Following day, same issue, now out...

I believe my problem originated from phosphates in bad water supply. I have since changed all filters and done several 20% water changes without success. What else can I do to get this problem under control?? New lights in Dec 06 No changes in feeding or new additions.. Time to buy a UV...

I recently added a grow out tank for my overpopulated reef. What types of lighting (w & k) do you use and what timing schedules? I am experiencing a pretty bad green algae outbreak but the display is fine...... 250W-10K for 10 hours, opposite the display lighting......

My reef tank is being over run with frags and corals....anyone interested in helping out by trading for some frags. I am fighting contant battles and need to do some weeding..... thanks

I posted a few months ago regarding this infestation of orange flatworms. The best advise I received was to let them take their course and they would die out. Well, they are not! I can't find any solutions to ride my tank of these things. They are so thick in spots that they cover the...

Anyone ever had this happen? I bought a rather large green carpet anemone (8 in) last week to add to my 2.5 yr old tank. I have had this marroon clown (2 in) for the beter part of two years. As soon as I added the carpet, the clown left his leather and took residency in the carpet. This...

I have a noticed a small problem getting worse. I have these orange little squares collecting on my live rock and glass. If i hit them with a power head or current they come loose and float in the water. I have been watching them closely, they don't seem to be alive or moving. They are...

I was not aware of this before purchasing my 1/3 JBJ chiller. It states that the unit must have 1 ft of space in front and in back to run efficiently. In addition, air entering the chiller needs to be fresh (low temp & humidity) and circulated. How do you guys do it? You obvioulsy can't put...

My GSP are getting out of control and are beginning to touch most of my corals. I have noticed that my devil hand leather is really pi$$ed off about this invasion of space. It seems to have a couple of finger tips that look like they have been stung. All shriveled up and deathly looking...

My tank is coming along great with the exception of excess detrius buildup. I was wondering if anyone had an creative ways of dealing with this matter? I only have 4 1200gph maxijets running right now but plan on adding a T1 closed loop soon. Can I DIY a closed loop system that will help...

I have had a colt coral for about two weeks now. It has had fully extended polyps and vibrant coloration all this time. I did one 15gal water change over the weekend and now the colt looks like it has slime/mucus sluffing off it. It is fully retracted and polyps closed up tight. All water...

I rearranged my rock work over x-mas. (I was not very popular when the quests arrived and it smelt like... you all know) Anyways, I placed my prized Hydnophora on a new perch next to a well established rock with 30+ shrooms on it. Apparently I put the hydno to close to one of the shrooms. As...

is this the standard waste to pure water production you guys experience. 3-4gal to 1gal pure ????:eek: what to do with all that extra water ????:notsure:

just received my RO/DI unit from Walt, courteous of Santa. I got it all set up and am currently running through the setup cycle. I was planning on setting up the unit under my tank stand to do auto top off directly into the sump. Problem: I didn't realize that there was so much waste water...

I will incluse a pic once I figure out my new camera. I have whitish stuff growing out of one spot in the tank. It looks like cotton and is growing under the intense light of MH and VHO's. Growing from small base to spreading out with soft edges around the top. Not much detail, I know. Try...

I am designing a closed loop system and want the return lines to control direction as well as pressure. I have been looking online and can't find anything with saltwater specs. Can anyone direct me to some info. Thanks pleboeuf@mindspring.com
