Yes direct replacements which are Coralife wooden stones.
Prodibio is a number of different additives designed to increase biofiltration. Explanation would take to much typing here. Go ahead a google it. This is a test I am currently doing to see if it is all it is touted to be. Came across it doing some research into vodka - sugar - vinegar dosing.
Last question about it, then I will quit crashin the thread with the skimmer q's! Where do you have your bubbles set at? What is the level? Never haveing one I have no clue on the settings, it says above the top of the reaction chamber... but kinda clueless. THX and The pix are amazing that you got for your tank!

Sigh . . . Henry, amazing as always, just wish mine looked half as good. Trying to get it back in shape to post some pictures again. See you're still debating the "money algae"

Take the collection cup off and the tube that comes up the middle, the bubbles should be right even with the top of that tube.
Randy, I actually did put some Halimeda in the tank a while back. Somebody ate it! I was amazed. Maybe the Foxface I don't know.

Nissan, kind words. Thank you. Tis what we all are here for to help and to learn with each other.

Cant remember if it was here or RR that u posted how u made ur screen for the top of ur tank?
Would u direct me to where it was?
Right now I have the screen u know that go outside the windows over it. And it looks good.
I think if I got some of them frames small enough or whatever that go on them it would look good. But idk if they make em sall enough like that

I used something called 3/8" Pond Netting. Available at pond supply stores. then at Lowe's they have plastic screen framing. You buy it in lengths and cut it to size. They also have these corner connectors that join the pcs. together. Then pond netting then goes into a track and you use the spline to hold it into the track. Just like a window screen but the screen has 3/8" hole to allow the light through.

Thanx guys, no duncans Whisk some kind of zoas. Yeah it looks like the hermit had to kill and pick through about 10 or so ceriths to find the shell he wanted to keep. Oh well. Cal, only about a week now. He is doing well eating like a little piggy. They are tiny fish though.

i bought some empty cerith shells at the LFS and my hermits love em. they grow fast, i remember when the shells dwarfed them.

Subie, those are the ever popular "Unknow to me" zoas. Thank you for the nice comment.
Cloves are only a couple of weeks in the tank. Don't know yet the growth rate on these particular ones but I have read that they grow like weeds. That is why I put them low in the front, so I could keep an eye on them and intervene if needed. On the screen, life always seems to get in the way of reefing. Don't you just hate that????
