You don't need much to build a fuge, but it sounds like you are wanting to put the fuge in a sump. So you need an overflow box for the main tank,...
I would say you have some type of an obstruction in the plumbing or pump. You have checked the pump, but have you checked the rest of the plumbing...
I have seen a lot of it used in over the years. To be honest I do not like it for live rock. It is not very poris for denitrification. For some...
Anything by Randy Holmes-Farley is great for chemistry, and he has written articles for a lot of online mags. But other stuff on reefkeeping.com is...
I would suggest trying some fresh shrimp from the grocery store. Kim
I have never been very impressed with either one of those. You can get a octopus NW-200 for just a little more and it is 2 to 3 times better skimmer

If you can capture them easly, I would say going back to quarantine would be the best way to go, so you can treat when needed. Kim
In general Aquamedic makes very good products. I have no specific experience with that fixture though. Kim
No you do not need to dose with DT's, xenia are not known for eating, they can absorb nutrients out of the water. On the pulsing. To be honest,...
