The mollies are OK, depending on their size in relationship to the lionfish. Specific tankmates would include: Waspfish: Ablabys taenianotus...
FWIW, we're running a QO 4000 on one of our setups and it's pretty quiet. Could your plumbing be transferring the vibration from the pump to the...
To be honest, anglers really do best in species/specimen setups. They can swallow prey up to twice their size, so it MAY try your fuzzy out, or...
With a remote DSB, such as a bucket or Tupperware tub, it can be taken offline and reworked, whereas an in-sump or in-DT DSB would require a lot more...
Are you saying the crazing is new since you've had the tank, or it was always there and now you're wondering about it? IME, other than being...
You're on the right track in terms of researching a varied diet for your fish, however, none of the foods you have listed will sustain a dwarf...
If you're "re-purposing" a chiller, you need to be sure that the heat exchanger coils and all the fittings that will come into contact with SW are...
IMHO, if you're gonna run a DSB, run it in a separate bucket (remote DSB) that can be removed from the system when it crashes (usually takes a couple...
If you add some live phytoplankton to the tank every so often, it will help boost your pod production. However, don't use Nannachloropsis, as it has...
Basically, you want the froth in the skimmer to come up to the bottom of the necked-down skimmer throat where the collection cup sits. Let it run a...

I've seen Pyramidellae infest large Astreas as well, and they do indeed kill the snails...not outright, but it doesn't take long. I tried to find...
If you're running a chiller AND a UV, and you want them on the same pump, add the UV on the intake side of the chiller. The reason being that the UV...
Try using some Weld-On #3. It's thin and is used to flow into tight cracks via capillary attraction. If you like, you can get a few pieces of...
DD = Diver's Den (the premium arm of Live Aquaria)

Sounds like the skimmer is sitting too low in the water...raise it up a bit...more like 6"-9". Many skimmers are picky about water depth. That being...
I agree with Mr. Bill...it's not tuff to DIY one. If you have a table saw or router, you can cut the teeth easily (or use a Dremel as mentioned)....
I agree with keeping it simple. To that end, lose the check valves...they give you a false sense of security and can fail due to snails/gunk in...
If you have a built-in overflow box, just run with it. When I design our custom setups, they all have the standpipe holes in the tank bottoms inside...
