A lot depends on your aquascape desires. Another 15 pounds could provide a nice reef look with some open space, 20 or more pounds with more reef and...
You learn something new every day. I was under the impression this was one and the same thing, basically water passed versus rejected. Thanks for...
The Pukani rock was live at one time, and contains a lot of organic debris that doesn't rinse off. This will cause a spike in ammonia as it...
Frankly, all fish feeders, except human ones, suck. If you need one for a week's vacation, just leave and don't feed. Everything will do fine....
Stop panicking. Wait about two weeks to see how it breaks in on your tank. Tune the skimmer. Use it in a sump with bubble traps. Lots of ways to...
The white doesn't help, but it is a slightly cheaper acrylic than the clear so that may be why they use it. A black would have made more sense to...
Reeflo/Dart pumps would probably be a better choice if you're looking external and lower noise. All the Danner (Mag) pumps are louder, but cheaper....
Often a simple overnight soak in vinegar will cure these issues. If not, parts are available though the AquaClear's aren't terribly expensive to...

+1. You can start with the default bulbs but you'll want to upgrade sooner than later. Reflectors are average but serviceable. If you had cash, a...
Baffles are to keep the water at a specific level in a specific area, such as for a skimmer. if that's taken care of, there's no reason to change...
This is normal, but not good. It's a last ditch survival effort by the frogspawn, hoping some of the dropped material can survive. Jeff Text...
My stand is a four foot steel shelving unit. Jeff Text mangled by iPhone spell check...
Just feed a variety of food and you'll be fine. Not sure what you're talking about with green shrimp though. Jeff
40 breeder with a 20L sump and a 29 as a refugium. Eshopps PSK 150 skimmer, Coralife 48" T5 fixture (Yeah, it's too long...) 4 bulbs. 2 10,000K and...
Well, except that live rock does nothing with Nitrates. :) Chaeto isn't a denitrifier either, it's an export of nitrates and still the best export...
