You're most welcome! Hey...we're practically neighbors...we live in Carson.
Oh...here's the tank up and running... [IMG] The rock is now very purple, and the macro algae has grown-in now...the tank is also home to our...
Dood...everyone has to start SOMEWHERE, so no worries. Let me show you the plumbing of one of our builds...it will help, I think: 100 gal (48" x...
I can actually steer you to EXACTLY how we build the standpipes: HOW TO BUILD A STANDPIPE Pay no attention to the "strainer modification"...it does...
Joe, I suppose that begs another question on my part...are you planning on using rigid PVC or flex tubing to plumb the system? As for the type of...
It might be...I've never used anything other than DIY Durso-style standpipes, so I can't say for sure. Did you add vent hole(s) in the cap? I've...
That's exactly how they do it. If a fish is shedding too often, that's a good indication it's trying to rid itself of ectoparsites such as crypto.
Are you sure your standpipes aren't clogged (maybe a wayward snail)? When you say Gurgle Buster, are you referring to the Hofer Gurgle Buster or...
Welcome! It would help if you tell us what your goal is...will you be doing a reef or a fish only setup? The amount of flow can be quite different...
I've really been liking the Sicce Syncra Silent line of pumps...super quiet and pretty energy efficient. I've replaced a few noisy AIO pumps with...
Actually, that looks like a keyhole limpet, and it may be eating your polyps. However, if you're seeing its gills poking out of the hole, it's could...
I just had a "net buddy" tell me that her 2.5" fuzzy had her 1.5" platinum clown in its mouth and was about to swallow it. She somehow got the lion...
If your tank has only been running a month, it's just going thru part of its algae cycle, and as mentioned, you're seeing a diatom bloom. If you...
I'm running that same pump on our 100 gal setup, and haven't had any issues in the years it has been up. About the only thing that makes sense is...
Back in our reefing daze, I actually tried to remove ours once cuz I was SURE it was dead...LOL Inimicus didactylus: [IMG] Chorydactylus...
It will take more than a couple of days, and I'd try to do a partial rearrangement of the aquascaping to break up any old territorial boundaries....
That's hard to say...it depends on the stand, what filter, and which lamps (do you have brand/model names?). I can tell you that you don't want a...
I agree with Todd...drill the tank. If you must go with a HOB overflow, I don't recommend the CPR style, as they simply won't hold a siphon without...
Snails will stay where the food source is, and different snails eat different algae. What are you trying to clean off your rockwork?
Your best bet would be to visually inspect them, particularly around their operculum and give their shells a light scrubbing with a toothbrush to...
