I also had the remora pro with the prefilter box. That thing was incredibly efficient. Excellent skimmer!

The "downside" is asthetics. I just looks kind of ghetto. When I give "the tour" people always seem to want to see my full setup. I try to keep everything showable.

I don't know if you're getting the prefilter box or not but that was the biggest thing I lost when I put it in the sump. It just wouldn't fit. The only other downside is that you'll have a device hanging off the side of your sump. I did end up going to an in-sump skimmer just for the greater...

If you have a hood you can build them into it. That's what I did. Worked like a charm.

I also did this.. Just got a longer tube for the pump! It worked just the same.

I had a prism and it didn't do a very good job. I replaced it with a Remora pro which was incredible by comparison.

I love those yellow tangs!

I had the same problem ... It took me a long time to get a handle on things. In the end the 2 things got it under control. A.) Water changes with RO/DI water B.) Upgrading my protein skimmer. Upgrading the proteing skimmer made a HUGE difference. Within 2-3 months my phosphate are no longer...

Just curious what methods you all were using to add this to your tanks. I was planning on giving this stuff a try for a one time calcium level raise. Thanks, Dan

Nevermind... I got my answer!

I'm getting ready to do the plumbing for my sump and I was curious if there is anything special (brand or type) I should be using to bond the pvc together or will the standard stuff do? Introducing chemicals to the aquarium always frightens me! Thanks, Dan

correct me if I'm wrong .. but don't many types of urchins feed on corals ?

here is a front on of an emerald mithrax

I would also venture a guess that you aren't replenishing trace elements present in salt mix when you don't do water changes ... That is unless you are dosing.

I had a similar problem I narrowed it down to the food ( or maybe like 80% sure ) .. I got five emeralds this time around and one of them I saw grab a shrimp pellet and he was belly up the next day. So I stopped using those and I have been fine ever since then. Although keep in mind that's...

i noticed that too... The link to dry goods on the main page goes directly to the message board... What's up with that ?

the first image you attached is definetely it by the way

thanks for the info ... they look pretty creepy .. i was getting nervous for a minute there!
