there is a certain shrimp that eats them right?

Is this the good one or the nuisance one? It came on a live rock I bought a while ago there was just one but now there's five. Which I don't mind since there is really nothing in the tank but a CUC. Thanks

I think I will try that Fluval sp4, thanks for the tip...;)

The Eheim 5000 will do close to 1250 or so. but not sure if that will be enough power.

I am using it as a return pump, looking for something that can do close to 1800gal/hour, but kinda hard to find without spending hundreds or dollars.

Yes my current pump is submerged. I will check into them and see if they have something for a 180gal DT. thanks for your help.

I am needing a new water pump for my 180Gal DT, i currently have a Quiet one 5000, and I have had it only a couple of months but the noise is getting to be unbearable. as for power it worked fine, but i want something else. Any ideas on what size i should have? the quiet one was about...

OK I will get started on that. I have a 55gal drum I am not sure on how clean it is I had it sitting in my garage for a long time. but was thinki could use a plastic drum liner and go to my local RO store and get some good water to start with. would using a trash bag liner be ok to use? I just...

ok, but I have a CUC coming today in the mail. any tips on what I can do to salvage them. I don't trust my LFS would it make a difference if I put all my return water from the DT into the algae part of my refugium? I have the ability to divert the water. I have a small amount of water going to...

So I got home and checked my water levels. They are: Salinaty was 1.027 now 1.023 Ammonia was 0 - .05 now 0 Nitrates was 0 now 0 Nitrates was 200+ now 160-180 And the brown algae is starting to grow again

I am currently using RO water, my tank size is 180Gal tall . the refugium is 75gal of which I have partitioned it into 50 / 25 the 50 side has the return pump and the protein skimmer, the 25 side has the green algae and the LED lights to help it grow.

I had the aquarium for a few years with live sand and live rock, everything was going great till I had several tank crashes. I had the aquarium sitting in my living room for the last 1 1/2 years, just sitting. no life no lights, no water circulation. when the water would start to evaporate I...

Ok so I am back from vacation and now my tank is completely clear. there are no signs of the brown algae anywhere. thou there is some mossy gray stuff on one live rock. looks like dust on the mossy but none anywhere else. Now in my refugium on the other hand is like crazy brown. I have several...

This Saturday I am leaving on a 7 day vacation, I have a 180gal saltwater aquarium that is cycling as we speak, I have no life in it, just brown algae, its not completely gone. I am not sure if I should leave the LED lights on the whole time I am gone or should I just leave them off? Thanks for...

OK sounds good I will check it out, did see some DIY on youtube he used red and blue LED lights. I am looking for a heater for a tank this large (180gal) do that make such a thing. the one I had worked well but I cant for the life of me remember what brand or model it was. it had a green plug...

SO I got some Chaeto, for the refugium, is there any good LED light that you could recommend for growing it?

OK thanks, Now for the refugium I have a 75 gallon divided with glass so it looks like 55gal on one side and 20gal on the other side the glass partition is slanted so it will spill from the smaller side into the larger side. the small side has some sand and a couple pieces of rock. I thought...

It sure does any ideas help. so when I start buying CUC should I base it on the tank being 180 gallons or what I can afford? I mean for 180gl I would be a truck load. but I really cant afford that all at once. those fish you listed, are they all compatible with each other? and I agree I would...

I am new to this Hobby and would like to restart my aquarium. I had this aquarium for apx. 3 years. when I first bought and tried my hand at this, it was a great experience. the aquarium crash 3 different times (fish died or glass seal broke dumping 180 gallons of saltwater on my living room...

Thanks for the advise. I plan is to have more corals than fish, but until that gets going i figured i would get some experience in fish and the problems they have and get more time in with handling the tanks . I really like the coral, but don't know much about them and all the important stuff to...
