I FINALLY got my overflow, sump and refugium set up! All comments, suggestions, and GENTLE critiques will be welcomed!

So,... It's been two weeks since I've added a sump and refuge to my Biocube. Do I cut the power, let the tank drain, then do the water change from my sump? Or do I cut the power, let the tank drain, mark the water level on the tank, and then do the water change from the tank? What's the...

Hi guys! Has anyone ever heard of "Activate?" I went to my LFS and asked about the grime that is lining the inside of my vinyl tubing on my return and overflow sides. They recommended to me the Activate liquid. They said it'll help prevent any build up and is beneficial for the biofiltration...

Hi guys! Well,...I've FINALLY got all the parts to my puzzle. I have a canopy that was made for my biocube 29 so I can have LED bulbs mounted inside. The only brainfart that I'm having is figuring out how/where to mount my HOB Eshoff overflow box... Any ideas of how to do it or pictures of...

Hi guys/gals! Here's my story. Five days ago I treated my 29gallon biocube with a Tropical Science red hair algae and Cyanobacteria additive and phosphate pads. I followed the directions to the "T!" It worked like a charm. My problem started two days ago.... My frogspawn is not what it used to...

My canary blenny is not doing to well. I brought it two days ago from my LFS. It hasn't eaten since and looks thin. ANY advice would be appreciated... Thanks!
