Thanks for the input guys.. Don't mean to sound grouchy.. Just frustrating when you need help and no one know... Thanks though for helping

What you would do in this situation is to install a one way flow valve so that water can not get back through... It is effective if you use the right valve.. They are typically available at any of the major home improvment chain stores..

I really feel for ya.. Honest.. I have had such a 'bout with Hair Algae that it makes me want to through everything in the garbage.. I still am battling it even after Phosphate sponge and Phososorb and all that jazz... Mine is even more complex because I am working with Micro Reefs where every...

Come on.. Am I really to believe that not one person out there has anything to say about this...? This is ridiculous..

Anyone know if it is possible to use a Fluval 304 with an overflow? I have been using a wet fry in a micro reef, but the bubbles are driving me crazy... I have tried every method possible to reduce the bubbles and I am entertaining the replacment of the Wet/Dry with a canister.. Any...

Hey Guys, I live in Central CT.. Little south of Hartford.. Anyone know of any great Salt Water Reef/Aquarium stores are in the area..?? Please help me if you can.........

I take it back.. That is no Fire Coral.. I have never seen anything like that before... I will keep my eye open for any information about it though... Good Luck

I might be wrong because it normally wouldn't be in a tank without purposly introducing it but what you are discribing sounds alot like the characteristics that Fire Coral would exibit.. Now it could be something else because it normally grows on branch coral but you might have picked up some on...

That is the same advice I would have given you.. Although I seem to have a tough time keeping Phosphates at 0 I keep them as low as I can.. The things that you have growing around sound like Algae... I would venture to guess you have some red slime algae and some green hair.. Keep working at it...

I don't subscribe to the "3-4 watts per gallon rule" so Let it be known that I view lighting a bit different because I have a 175 MH over a 15 gallon designer tank.. But I think you will do just fine.. If I was you I would take extra precautions to keep your phosphates down and if I was you I...

A Sally lightfoot is a small sized (traditional) looking crab... Center style thorax with the legs off to the left and right.. I had one in my tank for a while.. I thought they were cool looking in the begining but it got to be a pain after awhile.. Mine seemed to get territorial and push some...

If I was you I would put the carbon in a nylon bag first then into that compartment. Along with that.. Keep in mind that most reef keepers are saying that Carbon in a reef is not needed on a full time basis and that a week out of the month is enough.. More then that it will really start sucking...

I started off my Micro reef with mini mights which were good for the time being.. They were also inexpessive.. But now I have a Coral Life dimmable MH with a German 175w bulb in there. I am so impressed with this product (except for the fact that the first one I bought didn't work).. It was...

I am going to go out on a limb and say that all these little critters are one of the most important things in a reef tank.. I am sure that someone is going to disgree with me but that is OK... I have a 15 gallon micro reef with lots of these little guys in it.. Yes originally it was to control...

It would seem at this time that the water in the vertical part of the pipe is the problem.. The water rushing down and hitting the 90 degree turn is somehow trapping the water in there.. CPR recomended it to be more like a soft tube or something like a 30 degree turn.. That would have been...

They said that the noise is not caused by the overflow itself.. It is caused by the rule of physics as it relates to water... In my setup I have used hard PVC piping to keep it nice and neat.. In doing so I had to turn horizontal to go through the back of my cabinet into the sump... This is...

Thank you Crazy.. See KMR that is a response.. I just wrote this whole long response to you but it really isn't worth it.. I am going to let it go.. I just don't have the desire to drag this out any longer... Call me a smart ass or what ever you would like... But something along the lines of...

Yes... I know all about keeping everything friendly.. I did not at any time insult or get angry towards anyone.. I think you would agree.... I know all about maintaining a friendly demenor on BB's and proper chat etiquette. I insulted no one and only did comment on the lack of responses for a...

Gee... Thanks for that helpful post... Take it back.. How do you propose I do that after I have been obviously using it.. Thanks for the creative suggestion

I don't get it.. I try to actively post where ever I can.. Does no one find this topic intresting enough to comment on it.. I thought that many people would want such a monitor. Guess not.. I guess I will have to look elsewhere for help
