Is it OK to have the calcium reactor running while the return pump is off for 10 min.? I'm not sure if it's dangerous that the effluent from reactor is going to drop ph and raise alk. to dangerous levels in sump. I suppose it will get diluted back to normal once return pump is running again. The...

My cleaner shrimp hides for almost a week total during and after molting.

Thanks everyone!

It's been growing... it's not hard, it has the consistency of an anemone. Any ideas?

Thanks everyone!

Does anyone know what this is? And is it good or bad?

Your RO unit should shut off when it senses back pressure... mine is connected to this float valve.

This is my setup... left brute is RODI water. Right brute gets filled by left one on demand via pump and by turning ball valve. Right brute also serves as a heating/salt mixing tub. Left brute gets filled automatically by RO unit(there's a float inside). Pipes going up are for sending fresh or...

I keep reading that a RBTA should be introduced to a mature tank of at least 6 months old. I am upgrading from a 29G to a 75G... does this mean I have to keep both tanks running until the 75G matures? Any suggestions on how to do this transition properly would be greatly appreciated!

The bottle I poured in is made by Reef Nutrition. The name of the product is Tigger Pods... It says "Large Red Copepods 250-1700 microns." The species name is "Tigriopus californicus." I did not turn the lights off when I poured them in. These pods were easily visible due to they were red and...

I need help in seeding a fuge with copepods. I have a fuge setup for a month now. I bought a bottle of copepods and poured it in, hoping they would multiply and I'll have a supply of pods for months to come. They didn't last a day... not sure if they died or got all sucked up the pump to my main...

Ok, I'll use an extra canister filter I have. Is a skimmer needed?

When I upgrade to a 125G, I will have a 29G that I would like to have seahorses in. Question is, can I connect it to the 125's sump/refugium or should I use separate filtration for the SH tank?

Ok, I like the Marineland Pro setup. Are the bulbs it comes with good or should I change them to a better brand?

Thanks everyone... that's exactly the info I was looking for!

Soon, I will be upgrading to a 125g tank. Is there a good fixture that has MH/T5/Actinic/Moonlight? I understand this will probably be pricey, but I like the idea of everything in one fixture. Thanks in advance

Wow, thanks everyone for all the info and replies. Sorry for starting a mini war out there. Ok, so unfortunately I just got in from work and I don't have RO water on-hand to do a water change. Before I left to work this morning, I cleaned the glass and put a couple of bags of phosban in and to...

not that i know of... i havent used any medication.

Ok, so it started with both of the feather dusters crowns getting short and thin... then they fell off. That was a week ago and yet to regrow. One of the dusters is showing his head but no crown. Then, my bubble tip anemone is not bubbly anymore... it looks thin and sometimes really thin and...

I guess it could be. I've only had it a week. It ate three days ago. Maybe I'm just panicking to quickly. I have to get used to its normal routines still.
