id throw one of those micron filter socks over the inlet on there, thatll help catch any larger debris coming into the sump. Other than that, sumps should be dirty thats why they are there, to deal with all the ugly things we dont want to see in our displays!!

try splitting the return line into 2 or more return heads, that way the return flow is divided up plus now you can cover more of your tank in different directions of flow with just about the same total amount of flow. Im running a much higher gph pump, but ive divided mine into 6 return heads...

i have a anemone crab and a clarkii that share the same carpet anemone, and have done so for about a year now. never seem to bother each other, but i think i got lucky honestly. As for with a shrimp, id imagine those are more docile than a spunky clownfish.

got a pic of him?

Yeah my male cost me $400 after wheel and dealing haha, and the kitten female cost me $700 after more wheel and dealing. She is breeder grade also but i managed to get her really cheap for her quality. Her parents were champions show cats! For those unfamiliar, bengals are a hybrid breed of a...

you got everything right except for your spelling of "right" haha, jk. As for sand or mud, the mud is expensive but is nice because it leaches nutrients into the water like iodine and others. A deep sand bed is a great alternative, i personaly have about an inch of mud then sand on top of...

tangs took care of my shaving brushes for me....

i think that mantis is gonna find food for a long time in that tank, longer than you would probably want to stick all the valuables into a smaller tank. Why not put fish in small tank, and begin the hunt for the mantis going rock by rock, and drain water into a cheap plastic tub as to not give...

speaking from personal knowledge, i started with a canister filter, and never could really get nitrates to stay down even with alot of maintanance, switched to a sump/refugium with skimmer(previously no skimmer) and havent looked back since, tanks alot more stable and nitrates and other unwanted...

i have a semi small one, tenticals probably 3 inches long streched out in a 15 gal tank and i havent had any problems since i got it about 8 mths ago. Awsome looking creatures though, i think they are worth it

haha wow, i thought i had a problem with bta's splitting.

ive never had problems with mine and ive had it for a year, but i guess i got lucky. All the fish know to steer clear of it now.
