Where the big tube dumps into the diffuser box, it acts like its hicupping. Like it periodically (every 10 seconds or so) dumps a large volume of water, and then goes back to regular flow. Any ideas?

Anyone else?

What are these things? I noticed them this morning. They were not there last night. It's like thin white strings stretching from point to point.

I've got two 600Watt power heads. One is in the bottom left corner pointed up (you can see it in the pix) The other is in the top right corner pointed down. So it sounds like the game plan to fix my tank is re-connect the canister filter with new media (is ceramic a good choice?) and some...

I disconnected the canister filter after reading the 101 saltwater aquarium tips on this site. It reccommends only using a skimmer and live rock for filtration (as I understood it anyway). I top off with RO water and mix with Instant Ocean as needed. I've never used tap water. So you think I...

55 gallon non-drilled HOB Super Skimmer 125 65watt 10,000K pc 2 ea, 600 watt power heads This is my first go round with salt water. I set the tank up in June of '07 and it ran great until December. Then everything went wrong. I replaced my light bulb, added the skimmer (had previously been...

Purchased new in June of 2007. I ran this on my 55 gallon setup until December. It has been cleaned and put away ever since. $100 shipped OBO, or $85 FTF in GA. Unit works perfectly, I just went with a Skimmer/LR setup. Everything is included and in perfect working order. Just add carbon.

My tank is an Oceanic that was listed as a "show" tank when I bought it. The dimensions are as follows: Length=31" Width (front to back) = 18" Depth (top to bottom) = 21" I think I want to go with T5's from what I've heard so far and other things I've read. I'd really prefer a fixture to mount...

anyone else?

Can someone help me please? There are so many acronyms and options, I'm kind of lost. My current setup is a 55 gal. reef (currently have only xenia, but would like to keep a couple anemones for my clowns). I'm currently running a 10,000K compact flourescent at 65 watts. I know I need a lot...

About 4-5 weeks ago I got a Xenia colony from SWF and its doing great. It came on like a 3" circle of white styrofoam-looking rock. I placed the whole 3" circle in a crevice in my live rock. There were 3 stalks on the circle. Two of the stalks have really flourished and grown a lot. The...

Thank you so much for the advice! I just cut the input hose a little shorter and pulled the black sponge up, and, boom, no more bubbles! Thanks again!!! -vblue

I've got the tube set 1-1/2 to 2" from the white at the bottom. Here's a thought...the water flow coming into the diffuser is so great that there's water overflowing from over the top of the box. Is this correct?

I already did a search and read everything I could find on this subject. I found a lot of good information, but I don't feel like it really pertained to my situation. SETUP: 55 gal. non-drilled, so everything is hang-on 2 600W power heads 10,000K compact fluorescent Super Skimmer 125 The...
