Was culling some cheato out of my 55 gal refugium and I noticed some 1/8" "worm" like critters wriggling around in it. I have never saw them before. I know it s next to impossible to identify without pics but can someone point me in the right direction as to "keep or kill"? There are alot of...

Arrived yesterday. Spent 6 hours dripping. Currently taking up residence behind my Galaxea.

As my hunt for MH/T5 unit continues I have another question. Right now I'm running a 54wx4 T5 setup (2 daylight and 2 antic bulbs), what if I found a couple of MH pendants and switched the two T5 daylights over so I have 4 antics. Would I want the antics in front of or behind the MH pendants? Or...

I'm in the market for new lighting for 75 gal reef tank. I've been pricing out MH/T5 units. I thought that was the way to go but now it seems that maybe LEDs are what I should be looking for. The problem is that I know nothing about them. I'm looking for a setup that won't restrict what I can...

I have an opportunity to acquire a 250w x 2 metal halide/65w x 4 power compact/moonlight with month old bulbs for $150. I have been eying up a 250w x 2 metal halide/54w x 4 T5s/moonlight for $269. My question is are the T5s THAT big of an upgrade as to warrant the extra $119?

Can anyone think of a reason why a Tetra 1000-GPH Submersible Pond Pump or a Beckett 800 GPH Submersible Pond Pump wouldn't work as return pumps?ww wouldn't work as a return pump in a sump? Beckett 800 GPH Submersible Pond Pump Beckett 800 GPH Submersible Pond Pump

I've fallen for a nice pc of Monti Cap. My tank is a 75gal with 215 watts of T5 over it. Will that be sufficient and if so any suggestions on what level I should place it? Oh, the tanks been up for a couple years and currently has 'shrooms, Xenia, and a nice pc of Torch flourishing in it. I...

Just scored a 5 lbs rock with some nice GSP on it, 2 mini serpents (so far), 2 peppermint shrimp, and a 3 inch yellow tang (with what looks like a mild case of MHLLE-I think it'll be ok) for a whopping grand total of........wait for it........$10.00!!

Would I be better served with a short drain line running straight down and a longer return running up on an angle OR a longer drain line running on an angle with a shorter return line running straight up?

Howdie all, I have a question about baffles. I made a sump/refugium out of a 55 gal and used glass to make my baffles. I got the glass from Home Depot, I think it was picture frame replacement glass. Well the baffle that made up the end of the refugium going into the return compartment couldn't...

Has anyone ever heard of or used this as a return pump?

Im thinking about adding a new coral in a week or so. Right now I have Xenia, shrooms, and a tiny piece of orange Montipora that seems to be hanging on. I really like the looks of Frogspawn, hammer, and bubble coral. Of those 3 which would be better suited in my tank. Its a 75 with 216 watts...

I feel like a newb for asking this but......... Would I be better off reversing my sump? Right now I have it draining straight down (about 3 feet) and flowing from left to right to the return pump. My return line is about 6' long and raises 4 feet with one 90 at the top. Would I be better...

Iv been using a filter sock in my sump for as long as I can remember, but I just read on Melevsreefs.com that he doesnt use any type of mechanical filter. I can't figure out how he removes the larger particles of waste. Any clues?

My Xenia has been thinning out noticably lately and I was blaming my decorator crab. Well last night I witnessed my Powder Brown Tang biting the heads off and just spitting them out. Later in the night I spied my decorator, he has absolutely NO Xenia stuck to him anymore. Has anyone ever heard...
