Tropic Marin here - never a problem with water chemistry - at least so far.

I have had a yellow tail damsel and a marroon clown together for over a year. No trouble at all. The clown is about 2.5 inches long and the damsel probably around an inch. I also have a coral beauty, a firefish and a six line wrasse. No aggression problems what so ever.

Christine, thanks for your reply. Lots of good advice. It's a shame that there is not more support availaible from the manufacturer or distributor but figuring things out ourselves can be fun too.

So Santa brought me a Turboflotor 1000 with the Aquamedic Oceanrunner pump. My plan is to build a sump so i bought a Lifereef overflow siphon box that has a one inch output. The skimmer is designed to take water directly from the overflow into a half inch input. I don't want to restrict the...

Is it 4X36 watts or would that be 4X96 watts?

The 20 long was my original plan but my stupid 55 gal stand is only 10 inches wide. Maybe I'll build an new stand while I'm at it. Of course it might not be the most healthy thing for my marrige........

New Ideas as always. The two tank Sump/Refugium sounds like the way to go. Thanks for the help

I've had 3 Aquaclears (2 402's, 1 802)running in my 55 gal non stop for a year now. I've cleaned them twice so far but it's a simple job. They are still going strong! I highly reccomend them.

I've been trying to figure a way to get a decent sized sump under my standard 55 gal stand. Obviously the problem is that the width of the stand is only 10 inches or so at it's narrowest point limiting me to a 10 gal sump if I use a standard size glass tank. Now for the Crazy Idea... Has...

Thank you - good to know the Nautilus works well. I think the Rio and the Magdrive are both recommended but now I'm gonna check to be sure.

Ok so I'm finally gonna get rid all the ugly stuff hanging in and on my tank. The plan so far is to buy a 20 gal to use as the sump - a Lifereef Prefilter/ Overflow - a Nautilus t3 skimmer with a Magdrive 7 - a Magdrive 9 as a return pump. I'll follow one of the many DIY plans I have found on...

I have a 55 gal FOWLR and am in the market for a new Protein Skimmer. I have a Prizm now but am going to upgrade to filtration to a wet/dry sump. Problem is that I have about 24 inches of clearance under my stand and need something that will fit. I was looking at a Berlin Turbo. The Dr...

I have my 55 gal FOWLR up for almost a year and want to add my last fish. So far I have: 1 Firefish 1 Coral Beauty Angel 1 Yellow Striped Maroon Clown 1 Yellow Tail Damsel All seem to get along and are happy. I havent added anything for about 3 months (the Coral Beauty). Anyway I was thinking...

Hi all. With Christmas comming up I want to add a few aquarium items to my list. I currently have a 55gal FOWLR with a prizm protein skimmer and a fluval 403 cannister filter. I've been wanting a sump for some time so I can hide some of the ugly stuff hanging on my tank and to increase the...

Thanks for all the help. Based on some pics I was directed to it is in fact a spaghetti worm.

Hey Mo Mo - Best thing you can do is spend some time reading about fish and learn something about compatibility. Then after you figure out what you want add them SLOWLY!!!! Maybe one or two a month till you've completed your plan. I'd hate to see you spend $$$$$$$$ on a bunch of fish that will...

I got home from work today and found an new SOMETHING comming out of my live rock. Basically it looks like 20 or so white strings about the diameter of sewing thread. The strings are up to 6 inches long and seem to have spots (or are they stripes) ever 3/4 of an inch or so. They all are...

HI all. I'm looking for some advice on compatibly. I have a 55 gal FOWLR with 60lbs of live rock, 24 Nassarius Snails, 12 Bumble Bee Snails, 12 Scarlet Hermit Crabs and 4 large Trochus Snails. As for fish I have a Firefish, a Yellow Striped Maroon Clown and Coral Beauty Angel. I was thinking...

I have a 55g FOWLR with a CC substrate that has almost completed cyclying. Nitrites are beginning to drop so I figure another week or so till its' done. I'm getting some hair and diatom algae on the rocks and the glass and am looking for advice on cleanup critters. I'd prefer for snails that...
