    duncan issue

    nevermind... I found the cause. My foxface who is a hair algae eating machine has found a liking for the taste of duncans . I guess I'm going to have to decide if his cost outweighs his reward lol. I moved the duncan so hopefully he'll be distracted for awhile. Maybe I'll get lucky and he'll...

    duncan issue

    I just bought a whole bunch of LPS frags this week, and for the life of me I can't figure out why the duncan is being so stubborn. Everything else is fully extended but he looks almost like he's melting. I bought him on the 23rd and he's only opened once and now continues to receed. I'm not...

    finally got everything up and running (stuff kept leaking). Can I add a clean up crew, macroalgae, and live rock to this right away or do I need to let this sit and cycle?

    sump

    Anyone else give up when they were setting up their sump? I cannot get the GPHs even from the pump to the tank and from the overflow to the sump. I keep adjusting the valves and I cannot get it even. Im assuming it has to be even. Eventually ones going to get so far ahead and you have a...

    copperband and coral

    I'm mainly looking for a reef safe butterfly (lol there has to be one that exists)! Does anyone have a copperband in their reef? I mean I'm sure you can keep him well fed but picking is always an issue. I had one of these amazing fish back before I had coral, but the powerhead I purchased was...

    Lionfish?

    I have a radiatta. awesome fish Ive had it for a long time and Ive never been stung. Just dont be careless when in the tank. I usually just trap him in a corner by blocking him with a net. He just sits there until I finish. Such an awesome fish. He'd eat out of my hand if i'd allow it lol.

    fire shrimp and coral banded shrimp

    sump/refugium

    thanks guys I got it. On my overflow box the drain to the sump isnt on the bottom its actually on the side is this going to cause me any problems? Also if I add an auto top off system to the sump will it actually affect the water in the DT tank or only effect evaporation from the sump?

    can these two fish be in one tank ?

    I've done it, and the copper ended up being more aggressive then the yellow tang when it came to feeding time! Just make sure the coppers eating well prior to purchase and I'd say you have no problem. This was in a 75 gallon tank.

    sump/refugium

    i've had my tanks for about 3 years now, but ive always used hob filters. I'm setting up a sump. My question is how do I prevent my tank from overflowing when I have a power outage since my drain pipes are running based on syphon how do I not overflow the sump?

    Anyone ever attempt a tank of Cnidarians?

    I had a buddy whose parents owned an acrylic shop. So he built his tank for cheap. What an awesome set up it was. He ended up selling it along with the jellyfish for triple what he payed for it.

    Red General Starfish eating W/ PICS!!

    I remember my general starfish... what an awesome creature mine just happened to be browns colors. First thing i put in my tank (aside from 2 clowns). I loved him. If I do another fish only tank I'd get another one in a heart beat! Even saved his remains when he passed, he was big.
