Okay, the answer is yes, the flow is reversing and coming back down the return line. How do I stop this? Is there some kind of one way valve?

Okay, so I filled up my refugium with saltwater, made sure everything was sealed tight and then started my pump. It works, water flows through the overflow box down to the refugium, back up the pump into the tank and it starts all over again. However, when I turn off the water the refugium...

I was told that this was an aiptasia, but when i look at pictures of them online they don't look like this guy. Can I get a verdict?

New bulbs, replaced them over 2 weeks so as to not shock my one soft coral (this was about a month ago with new bulbs). I run them for an hour before and after white light to simulate dawn. But i had been running them before from 10-12 and 8-10 instead of 10-10 and have always run my whites...

Hi! 1. I had been running my actinics for 4 hrs a day, 1hr before and after white turn on and 1 hr before and after white turn off. I mis-read some posts a while back lol (this was about 4 years ago, I've been running them wrong since). Now that I'm running my actinics the whole span of the...

sepultian: I'm trying to decide on what type of refugium to buy, also thinking about building a phlenum like garf suggests and reconstructing my tank with it, but that would be a lot of work and probably cause me to re-cycle my tank. I dunno if that's the best idea, but I want the best for my...

Hi, I have a 55 gallon "show" tank (wish i had a shorter one, but sometimes you learn things too late) with 110#'s of LR , 55#'s of LS, 1 clown, 2 spotted cardinals, 1 damsel and 1 scissor tail goby. Throw in a few snails and blue legged hermit crabs and you now know my entire tank. It's been...

I have now, no less than 5 times, left the water running when I went to work while filling up a 5 gallon bucket with my 40gpd system. The real kicker is I'm on the top floor and so my downstairs neighbor's computer room gets my very nice ro/di water down its wall. Neither my landlord nor my...

DIY is definitely not for me...i've been down the "oh DIY is actually quite easy" road too many times, does anyone have a suggestion on a good non-HOT refugium, premade for me to buy? Thanks

So, I've decided that I should add a refugium to my 55 gallon tank. It will: a. increase water volume b. give me a place to grow macro algae c. add more live rock to my tank d. move my skimmer to the bottom of the tank e. other things that I hope you guys will share with me From my research...
