Based on what you're saying, I'd suspect that your loose connection is sucking air, assuming it's exposed. What do you mean when you say "it doesn't...
It looks more like a fireworm, possibly Hermodice sp., but not H. carunculata...note the distinct tuft-like arrangement of the bristles.
FWIW, from what I could see in the photo, the fish looked a lot like a thornback cowfish (Lactoria fornasini). Sorry you lost it.
Actually, planktonic-feeding triggers tend to get along with lionfish, altho there are always exceptions with individual fish. The planktonic genera...
Should be fine.
A Chorydactylus, an Inimicus, and a lionfish go into a bar and order drinks. The bartender looks at the lionfish and says "I can't serve you." The...
Vinny is right... It doesn't matter if your lionfish is eating non-living foods...if they get the chance, they can most certainly down damsels...
Drill 3/16" holes...that way, you can add an air control valve if you go a bit too far. When I tune our Dursos, I literally stand there with a drill...
The thing to do is set up the system and aquascape it. Then try aiming your returns a few different ways. If you can get adequate surface...
Do you have a 6' tank or a 4' tank? How many returns will you have, and where will they be? How you aim them is important as well. If you go...
Too many possibilities to hazard a guess...
The rule of thumb when considering acrylic to glass is don't plan on anything that requires structural strength. So, for baffles it's fine, but I...
The macro that "blew" in the NC 12 was C. racemosa, which is one of the "top two" as far as going sexual goes. FWIW, I've never seen C. prolifera or...
Ah...you have the 1" version then. Most of my experience is with the smaller model, but I did install the 1" version on our 210 gal FOWLR (along...
First, are you using low-noise standpipes (Durso, Stockman, etc)? If so, they aren't properly tuned (vented). IME, Durso-type standpipes work well,...
While plants generally favor the red end of the spectrum (as mentioned), your original light should be OK to be honest. It really depends on how...
Some can, but not necessarily in the same manner. For instance, I've been told by someone who should know (a Ph.D. in marine plants of some kind),...
I've used SCWDs for several years with no troubles at all...both the 3/4" and the 1" models. IME, SCWDs really don't lose much flow as long as...
Look into Sorbothane...it's REALLY great stuff. You can get it in sheet-type pieces, but the hemipheres are the most efficient. I use them like...
You can use vinegar and water to remove the deposits. Lay the tank on whatever side you want to clean, then pour about 1" of solution into it and...
