7.2 watts/gal over a 20 long

Corals release toxins and carbon can remove some...plus I never had negative results from using carbon only positive ones...so why not...let me guess, b/c it cause trates to raise. <img src="graemlins//eek.gif" border="0" alt="[eek]" /> <img src="graemlins//mischievous.gif" border="0"...

Try: <a href="http://www.flyingfishexpress.com" target="_blank">www.flyingfishexpress.com</a> Never order from them personally, but I've heard and read many good things about them and I plan on giving them a try sooner or later. <img src="graemlins//freak.gif" border="0" alt="[freak]" />

Where did you get the LR from? More than likely the tank DEFINITELY still needs to cycle, but if you bought LR that was already in an established aquarium, it could contain all the necessary bacteria you need (Nitrosomas). So beware of that, and test regularly to see how fast your ammoinia...

Having a naso in a tank that small is not good, but it depends on how big the Naso is...I've seen them as small as 3 inches. So how big is your Naso?

I am relatively new to this board so if this topic has been beaten to death, then I am sorry, I feel like beating it a little more. I see so many post about how people all of sudden are losing all of their fish even though all their water paramters are solid - It's called a parasite and I'd be...

No problem Terry! One additional message to demodan...you may know this, but I will assume nothing for your sake. The UV light your running will only kill parasites if they pass thru the unit and should be looked upon as a preventative maintenace, the likely hood that a UV light would cure a...

I am not Terry but I have some experience with this stuff and here is MHO If you used copper in your main tank with live rock, you probably killed a lot of the oragansims that makes live rock so popular. I wouldn't add this rock to a reef your planning on setting up under any circumstances. Here...

20gal long reef 4 36 watt power compacts- 2 10Ks and 2 Antics Total of 144 watts ~ 7 watts/gal The unit is JBJ and I paid about $230. I love the setup for the price.

I haven't dipped since the initial dip, too risky. The fish's health has been improving which may be a sign that his immune system is adapting to the desafin. I did just perform a 75% water change on sunday, but I added --again-- a very low dose of desafin. The only reason I was adding the...

Basically I've been treating my flame angel for some type of parasite-ich, brookynella etc...with hypo and Desafin. I think I've rid the fish of the parasite, but now the fish has severe equlibrium problems. He is now starting to breath noramal and inspite of not eating for about 12 days, his...

deita- Does the skimmer your refering to have a hang on option, or is it for the sump only?

LordoftheReef- Did you come in from the top of the collection tube where the foam comes out, or did you come in the side some how? I can think of a way to do both, just wondering if you tried it....also how big an aipr pump do you need for it to be effective?

I think before you can really answer this question, you first need to determine what your goal is... If you want to use the sand bed as a denitrafication (reduce nitrates-I can't spell) tool, then I think it's impossible to use only 3 inches b/c more than likely oxygen will provide respiration...

Anyone have experience with Red Sea's Prizm skimmer? Is it loud and how effective is it? I use Supreme's Skilter on my 20, and a 24" venturi on my 75. The skilter isn't bad, but like baechbaby's problem, the skilter is also very loud and I want to find a quiet one for the 20. My venturi driven...
