I want to put a bulkhead in an acrylic sump. It calls for a 1 7/8" hole. I can't find that size hole saw, but I have a 2". Is that close enough? Any thoughts? Thanks.

Any harm or benefit from putting a lot of bioballs in the bottom of the sump, not just in the wet/dry part? Would they cultivate additional beneficial bacteria? Thanks.

Now I'm confused. The company emailed me that it, the Model 375, at least, does not. The last thing I want, though, it to hook this thing up and start pumping water through it with no o-ring, if it needs one, and have water spewing all over my floor. Any suggestions?

I read a whole bunch of threads on ich, and it's fairly clear that the best way to treat it is remove all the fish to a hospital/quarantine tank with hyposaline water for 3-4 weeks, then quarantine all new fish. I got that. However, if someone wanted to take a shot at treatment in the fowlr...

Sorry I asked about an obvious FAQ. I feel stupid now. Thanks.

With 5 large (6-7") aggressive fish in my 150, they tend to make a mess when they eat. The Humu chews and spits part of it out. They tend to eat in big chunks, and not mess with little bites. So, and this wasn't planned, I also have 4 damsels and 2 small clowns in the tank. For some reason...

Potential problem. Yesterday I started this product, and with only 20-40 ppm nitrates. I used the low dose start up method, adding 6 *drops* to a 150 gal fowlr with large sump. This morning, most of my fish are breathing heavily at the surface. The literature/website for it says this is a...

Originally Posted by gliuomo Golden Puffer Sort of traded out, then? I think I recall when you were in getting it, too. I like the golden. At first I thought he was ugly, but then he grew on me. If I did not have the spotted puffer, I'd like one.

Can anyone I.D. this wrasse for me? The LFS said "banana wrasse," but looking around, it doesn't seem like it. Thanks.

Thanks. I'll try not to lose some skin in the process. ;-)

Hmm. He came down. He must have been faking. Might be good to know anyway, though. Thanks.

My puffer apparently gulped some air and is stuck on the surface. Any ideas what to do? Thanks. He's shown on this page: http://www.midcalracing.com/fish.htm
