I don't think it is electrical current, since I do use a ground probe. And I don't think it's my blue leg hermits - I have plenty of shells for...
I noticed over the past week or so that 3 out of my 12 astrea snails have died (just stopped moving for several days). My fish and hermit crabs are...
Nothing wrong with that, unless you are getting noise from large air bubbles, bubbling up from your drain pipe through the water in the sump. If you...
Currently I have a phosban reactor in my sump with mostly carbon, but a bit of phos-lock. I ordered a second phosban reactor so I can run carbon and...
So I came home from work yesterday to find that, all of a sudden, there is green hair algae all over many of my live rocks. I got over the diatom...
As stated above, the DT level stays constant. Depending on how your sump is set up, water levels in your return pump area will decrease, depending...
Do I need to dose any chemicals/elements for soft corals? Should I be checking Ca, Mg, I, etc? Or is that only important with hard corals?
Thanks to everyone for the replies. My heater is set for 76 degrees, but I guess I will turn it off for a while to be certain that it is not...
The ambient temperature in my house is about 73 degrees F (with A/C on). Yet the temperature in my tank hovers around 80-81 degrees, in spite of...
Hmmm, ok, so I will try the 3 day 20%. I only asked the question because I wondered whether, with all the filtration and bag of carbon, whether...

Thanks for the feedback about my flow. Actually, one of my koralia 4's is on the lower right corner of the tank, pointed downward. It's sole job is...
How often should I change the water in my quarantine tank, and what percentage should I change each time? It is 10 gallons, with a sponge filter,...
I'm using a maxi-jet 400. It is rated to pump 106 gallons/hour, which is slightly more than the phosban reactor is designed to handle. But the...
Hi all. I am very new to having fish in my DT. The flow in the DT is quite high, with the corner overflow and return plumbing, 3 Koralia 4's, and 2...
Does anyone here use a filter sock in their system? I was thinking of adding one to the water entering my sump to filter out any particulate matter....
They are at 2260 Kingston Rd in Scarborough. Very high prices for equipment (so I would stick to Big Al's for equipment), but very good marine...
I do have a Big Al's not too far from my house, which I will probably check out first. I also know of a place called North American Fish breeders,...
Exactly - the skimmer was off when I took the pics 2 wks ago. But now that I have added the fish and the cycle is done, the skimmer is on.
