Did you cycle the tank after you set it up? When did you do the tests for the params you posted? Have you done them again recently? Did you switch...
Is your rock sitting right on the glass on the bottom of the tank? Any chance it is a fuge light or something being lit from the bottom? Very...
You want it on the return line, the clear vinyl line running from your pump back up to the tank. So you can slow down the flow back to tank. Your...
You'd have to put a ball valve in your return line then so you can throttle back the return valve.
I personally wouldn't mess with the overflow. They work well as they are. And if you remove it you have to plug up the old holes and that's just one...
According to Marinelands website, the corner overflow is good for 700GPH, so you are definitely going to have to dial back the return pump. I would...
This sounds like you have a return pump pumping more water than your overflow can return to the sump. Try dialing it back, either on the pump if it...
If your nem is hosting your clowns, then your clowns will bring food back to the nem at feeding time as well. It's the price the clowns pay for the...
You can go to any hardware store and pick up some 1/4" line, a 1/4" tee and a 1/4" valve. I prefer push fittings as opposed to compression, just for...
What are you collecting the water in to test the TDS? You could be contaminating your sample. You need to thoroughly clean the cup or whatever with...
The very first tank I had I used a floating glass hydrometer, still have it and use it today!
I don't own an AIO myself but just reading Mr. Bills post and his concern with a dead spot to trap detritus seems like it could be a problem. I don't...
I've always found that if I let it grow in the fuge then it stays out of the DT. I'm in the camp with those saying to leave it.
I have the same thing, I'm ordering new bulkheads that are slip instead of barbed.
I also wanted to say there is only one fireworm, but I wasn't confident that my memory was correct lol.
And If I remember correctly, pointy claws are a bad sign (an old rule of thumb)... as in might eat corals, etc...
Only sure fire way I know of to know when to replace filters is to monitor incoming and outgoing pressure. As the filters clog up, pressure drops....
I would run it on the opposite schedule as your main tank lights. So when tank lights turn off, fuge lights come on, and vise versa. This will help...
Looks like a normal bristleworm to me as well. Bristleworms can be a great addition to any clean up crew. Also if you see one, there are many more...
I think you have it covered. Will have to raise the skimmer, and will have to top off more due to the smaller return section. Will be a little more...
