    Rapid overflow help

    All of a sudden my rapid overflow has stopped working. I have searched the threads and gone thru the motions with no luck. The aqua lifter appears to be working, it will suck in and pump out water. I have cleaned all the tubes and even took the whole thing apart and reasembled as if it were...

    Dang LTA!!!!

    Stupid Fish!!! That is exactly what my wife said. She really likes the LTA. I told her we could keep it, but we wouldn't buy any more fish. Instead I would just throw $20 in the tank.

    Dang LTA!!!!

    I have been losing fish quite frequently over the past few months. Two Lyertail Anthias, a Blue Reef Chromis, and a Coral Beauty in about 6 months time. All were in great looking and acting shape but simply vanished literaly over night. My water param's have always been great and I couldn't...

    Weird hitchhiker. Calling the experts.

    I found this on my glass tonight (up close to the top). It is about 3/4" long and 1/2" wide. It is not round, shaped more like a sea shell. It doesn't look like it is hard on the outside. If I had to describe it it looks like a soft clam. It hasn't moved and appears to be stuck to the glass...

    Have you heard of Hydor Koralia Pumps

    They are awesome! I put a #3 in my 45 tall and it is doing great. Previously I had a MJ900 and an Aquaclaer 70. The single Koralia does better. I also noticed my temp dropped a degree or two so I think the two pumps were heating up a little. The price is very good as well.

    Koralia 4 too much?

    Would one of these (1200gph) be too much for a 45G tall? The tank is 36" long, 12 inches wide, and 24" tall. Right now I have a MJ900 (235 gph), an Aqua Clear 70 (400gph), and my sump return at about 600gph. I would remove both existing powerheads and replace with the single Koralia. It is...

    Sump Design

    Thanks for the couple replys to my last post. I got the sump/fuge running pretty good but after only two days the $#@% thing cracked down the middle. I think one of the baffles was a little snug against the glass and once water was in there is put too much pressure. I siliconed it so it...

    LTA is moving LR

    I have a LTA and a few weeks ago he moved to a spot at the base of a piece of LR. Over the course of time it has pushed it's foot further and further under the rock where now the foot is showing on the other side and it has lifted the rock up. I wouldn't be worried about it except that this...

    Fish scared of HOB?!

    Has anyone ever had their fish scared of a HOB filter? I added two clowns this weekend (first fish, YEAH) and they will not go near it. If I turn it off, within minutes they will be swimming all over the place. Turn it back on and within minutes they are as far away as they can get. It's a...
