Ich can pretty much only be cured through copper treatment or (my preferred) hypo-salinity. Anything else is a crap-shoot.
A) You are going to want to use new sand. Too many problems can occur with using old sand, as too much detritus can accumulate in the sand. Stirring...
Isn't Danner the same company as Mag? If so, I'd say they are reliable. I've had my Mag 3 for more than 3 years without any issues. Good pump, but...
Yep, Ball tip Anemone. I had one about a year ago and tried to get rid of it since it almost wiped out my entire colony of pink Palys when it decided...
Feed at least one capful per 20 gallons, per feeding. Larger doses can be added by feeding several times per day, or continuously via a drip-feed...

Because of Irene, I lost power for 6 days. Luckily I was able to purchase a generator the day before Irene hit (one of the last ones my local Lowe's...
I have en eShopps PF-300 overflow and it has never lost siphon (more than three years). Even after losing power for more than 24 hours, it started...

I've had a shock buster for over 3 years and it's never inadvertently tripped. This is the one I have: [img]
If you are not going to go down to 1.009-1.010 SG for 4-8 weeks, then don't bother as hypo-salinity must be this low or else it's not effective.
All that heat is getting re-absorbed by the sump sitting in the 100 degree unventilated room. No chiller will overcome that as the heat will just go...
Your only responsibility is to prove that the chiller is working. Everything else is on him. If the chiller is under-sized, in a hot non-ventilated...
Don't use a check valve, as they will eventually fail. Not a matter of if, but when. All it takes is a piece of coralline algae to break off and...
