awe man that is boring stuff................i have a skimmer built for a 300 gallon (was told the more gllons for a smaller tank the better), dunno how to make a sump (not ONE clue), and i have a biowheel/ canister filter........also u seem like you would nko...........algea on my sand keeps turning red and bubbley BUT its hard......not like normal algea

ne clue? thx

Yes...boring. But based on some of the threads you have started here I think you can reduce your problems/fish and invert loss/and save money long term by investing some time and money in preventative measures...Good luck.

Purple Firefish are cool, I love mine, low maintance too, but they sometime carpet surf I have been told. No issues with mine YET, have had him about 8 or 9months.
Look into having a pair though, seems like I remember reading somewhere, one or at least three. Issues with with pairs one dominating the other badly unless it is a mating pair????....... Warren

Yes....Visit melevsreef.com. He has excellent DIY plans for sumps/refugiums to fit just about any situation. based on his plans I have built 4 different sump/refugiums. Certainly an excellent way to increase total water volume and move heaters, skimmers,
etc off or out of the DT.
The ones I have built: 3 for reef ready tanks and one for a 32 corner that has very little space in the stand underneath the tank.
Good luck...It can be done for surprisingly little expense. If you do not feel you are up to build ones they can be purchased at several of the on-line 'dry goods' stores.

well i have some money left for that sump.....................i bought 12 coral and pink tail trigger........i couldnt help myself

well the trigger isnt mine mine......im holding it until my freind can stick it in is 300gallon fowlr tank because its really small and would probably get killed......but no worries will look good for like 1 month lol

Happy for you. Good luck with the sump and QT.

well my qt is small but will probably work once setup.
now quik question i noticed that my wrasse gets pretty close to sharp edges of rocks and im afraid he will cut himself NOW HE DID NOT get cut yet but i heard garlic helps in immunity building should i give him some? if so do i just mulch up garlic and put it in the turkey baster with the food?
