Anyone out there have a via aqua cc25 1/4 HP chiller? I got one on ---- for cheap, and I can't seem to get it to work correctly. I followed the instructions, that weren't very useful, but I can't get the temperature settings to change in either mode.!:help:

Thanks for all the info on ich! Could someone please address the bio-load issue? How many inches of fish per 55/gallon reef tank, and do the inverts count in the equation? Thanks

I have had my 55gal reeffish tank going for about five months, and recently had a bad outbreak of ich. I think it was due to temperature fluctuations and pH fluctuation. Can a bio-load that is too high(too many fish) cause pH fluctuations? I have had four fish die in the last few days, so...

I want to install a refugiumsump under my 55gallon tank, but I can't drill any holes for bulkheads in the glass. Anyone have a good resource for information, I might build my own or by an acrylic kit. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated because I don't know much about them. I want...

Thanks for all the info!!

Thanks for your help. I guess I got some bad info from a LFS, I have a flourescent lighting fixture with a 50/50 bulb and a actinine blue bulb and they said that was fine for my tank. They sold me two other anemones, and some soft coral. So I guess from your last post I need metal halide...

Im pretty new at the saltwater aquarium thing. The tank has been running for 3-4 months, and all of the water conditions are good except for a high level of phosphate that I'm working on. I have good lighting. I don't know how to tell if it's been eating though.

Last night my white sebae anemone detached from it's rock and floated to the bottom of the tank. It is contracted all the way and has whit fuzzy stuff oozing out of it. Whats going on?

I have a white sebae anemone who detached from his rock last night and floated to the bottom of the tank. He is contracted all the way except for a few tentacles that are larger than normal, some are clear and some look like they have exploded and fuzzy stuff is hanging out of them. What's...

Thanks for your help!

I think the logic behind no water changes is so the bacteria you are building up aren't lost. So should I add the LR now, or wait for the cycle to be finished?

Okay, I'm confused now. My 55gal tank has been running for 5 weeks or so. All my levels are high except pH which is low, 7.8. My LFS is saying I need to do major water changes, but everything that I've read on this forum says nopt to do any water changes during the cycle. I haven't seen the...
