I leave any that die on me too. Crabs and my herd of nasarious snails always have it clean in a day.
I havent used a mag inline in the past. The times I used inline pumps rather than submersable they were Little Giant pumps and I never had one...
Keep in mind if you use a spraybar that those tiny holes get clogged pretty easily with things growing in or over them.
How do you normally lower your Nitrates? Do you have a coil denitrator or a fuge? The debris on your balls could result in nitrates but only as an...
You could always just use crummy tap water to top off your tank. In a couple weeks you will have all the algae they lawnmower can eat... ..
I'd just set it up too. I noticed when I setup my tank that the dry base rock never got the same algae that the live rock did.
I have a normal thermometer in the sump of my tank. Those stick on type really dont work well. It is in an area that gets water directly out of the...
I use Coral Frenzy also. I feed a bit less than the recommended and I just dump it in near a power head. It seemes to be working well. Tough to...

I have mine sitting on a flat rock and it gets what the other fish get. I can say that mine doesnt like temps above 82. It didnt open up and the...
That is a neat design. I would add some support into the stand around the bottom of the lower half and at the acute angle you have in the L. I'm...

Get either a piece of egg crate or just some undergravel filter. Cut it to fit the area the chaeto is getting through and your done. A true...
Surprisingly it works quite well. The skimmer is 5 or 6 inches from the return pump and I get almost no bubbles in the DT.
Just a word of warning. Overflows will eventually collect air bubbles at the top of the U tube. If you pay attention or have an aqualifter you wont...
As you can see from this next picture I used the built in fittings for the uplift tubes to support the pieces of filter. I did have to cut the...
