Does anyone know is chaeto will flourish in a freshwater refugium? Thanks

I agree with Eaglefan. Get yourself and Icecap ballast and convert over some NO lights into VHO. My tank took off after I did.

Just kidding. But seriously, I need some help identifying these sacs that appeared in my tank overnight. I am not having any luck. Please check out this post https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/show...hreadid=156089 Sorry for getting your hopes up. :D

Here is another post with a better picture of the same problem. https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/show...19#post1142019

No, they do not move at all. I don't know whether or not I should remove these things. What do you guys think?

I noticed all of these sacs after 1 night. They have not grown or changed in 4 or 5 days. Does anybody know what these might be? There are a total of 11 of these sacs, all individually stuck to my glass, all on one side of my tank. Also, you really can't tell from the pix but these sacs are flat...

I have noticed 2 small blooms of bubble algae in the last month. I have read about taking the rock out of the tank and attempting to remove the algae from the rock with bursting it, but I have not gotten around to it. I will remove the bubble algae today, but how should I handle these sacs...

This is my first attemp at posting a pic. I hope it is clear enough. I'm almost positive these were not here last night. There are 7 of these "sacs" all on the same wall of the aquarium. Are they snails eggs? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I recently just purchased an Icecap 660 ballast off ---- and I am eager to hook this baby up. I have the multi-colored harness that hooks up to the endcaps but how do I get power to this sucker??? I see the 4 prong female receiver. Is this a standard harness I can buy at Home Depot to hook this...

DO NOT use a nylon net just big enough to scoop up your porcupine puffer when he is uninflated!!!!!!!!

I currently only have an Emperor 400 and a large canister filter in my 110 FOWLR. I am looking to add a protein skimmer and I ran across these Ecosytem Miracle Mud filters. They say you don't need a protein skimmer and they are only a little more expensive that the Berlin Turbos. Which way...

My water company at work provides steam distilled water. Would this be ok for water changes? What would be the benefits of using RO or RO/DI water instead? Thanks

I started my FOTWLR about 2 months ago and everything has went great. (knock on wood here) I have a 110 xhi with 100# of live rock and about 50# crushed coral for a substrate. Should I convert to a DSB. From everything I have read on the site, it looks as if it is the way to go. If so, do I just...

Javatech, That is probably silica sand, which is 100% silicon. It is used for sandblasting and for an additive to driveway sealer. Not exactly what you are looking to put in your tank. Just guessing.

Thanks everyone. So no shrimp. What should I get to clean? My maid says get lost. She doesn't do windows, dishes or crushed coral. ;)

I hear that the spotted hawks eat crustaceans. Will I have a problem with shrimp? My other fish are 2 percs, lawnmower blenny and a lunar wrasse. I have a 110 xtra hi with no cleanup crew as of yet. What are some other sugestions for keeping tank clean and also for other fish? Thanks for any...
