did you increse the light cycle? Are the lights new or used? Used lights will shift spectrum and grow algae.

I had an accident a while back that blew the front off my Reffugium (Thanks hurricane Wilma :mad: ) Anyway, I took the deep sand bed I had and poured it in to a 5 gallon bucket and covered it with water and an air tight lid. It has been that way since last October after hurricane season. I have...

Torn between the Danner Mag-Drive 12 or the Quiet one 5000, which one is quieter? It will be running external in a closed loop through. Aprox. 8' of head. The flow being close enough to equal, as well as the cost, which one would be the better choice for noise? What about longevity? Are they...

I have 2 65w Power Compact sets i'll be using, havent bought the bulbs yet, still open to sugestions. What about using the mud from the LFS live rock bins? I figure it's been "curing" in the vats for who knows how long, so it should be cycled right? running my fingers through it feels like it...

I am in the process of adding a 30G fuge to my system. Currently I am running a 50G display tank and a 20G used for the sump. In the sump I am running 15-20lbs. of live rock in place of bio-balls, a skimmer, and a tray where I run charcoal and phosphate sponge on occasion. I am setting the fuge...

now that you've stripped it down and rebuilt it, what did you use to cycle the tank? Why not start with a basic blue damsel or something and make sure it fully cycles. Remember, the bio filter was on the surfaces you washed not the water your taking from the other tank.

OK what is a volute? it that the same as the impeller chamber? if so then yes it was a bit loose so i tightened the wing nuts as tight as I could with my hands. I re-plumed both the intake and out flow sides. I ran 1.25" intake, and yes I did incorrperate a T at the top with a screw on cap to...

After installing a new little giant pump I am plagued with micro bubbles so bad I can hardly see the back of the tank. I have the pump pulling over the edge of the sump to the pump plumbed externally through 1" PCV, from there I have 3/4"ID clear hose to a SCWD and dual 3/4" outs. Where do the...

I don't know if any of my hermits can get away with shell jacking my mex turbo. Hes probably got at least an inch, inch n' a half, on the hermits. I think he could take em' :-)

Yea they do. Little sherman tank! Has yours started re aquascaping your tank yet? Mine knocks things over all the time. I'm just about to the point where he is going back if it were not for the fact I have a fuge I'm developing. Then it will find a new home in there. Away from my corals!

Wow! you can realy see the change. Its like night and day. How much power was it before and what is it now?

If you do, I may know of somewhere you might be able to unload one of those 150w set up's. :D :D

Custom Oakleys for the tank! Pretty funny, the tanks sunglasses will end up costing more than your own Who's behind those Foster Grant's? :happyfish :happyfish its the fishies!! :happyfish :happyfish

As many people that have this skimmer, no one has an opinion as to which pump gave the best results?

No Nuclear crabs here, just regular ol' blue leg hermits. As far as the crabs going to war with the snails, I didn't think so either, till I saw two crabs ripping a snail out of its shell. I felt soooo bad. Poor little guy didn't stand a chance. Got shell jacked! :scared:
