That's not good. Was it an all black pro model or the base one?
Maybe the water pouring in from the hose of the ro/di filter stirred up the sand and released built up gases? I also agree that's a lot of damsels...
I have 2 aqueon pros in 2 different setups and a friend has the same, both for over a year in all tanks. I haven't been able to find anyone having...
Off the top of my head, I can't think of a saltwater fish that isn't aggressive to some others (depending on tank size and landscaping). The peaceful...
If you do try, also get one that hasn't been alone for a while. Otherwise you'll have 2 females and the smaller won't be submissive. How big is your...
It's also double misbarred. I usually see ones that only are on one side. I get paid to walk her puppy daily because of her work schedule, so on...
Bought her for a friend's birthday in January. She lost a clown a while ago and has been wanting one and loves misbarred and Onyx ones and this is...
I like the looks of the Mombasa the best, Antennata the second. Can't help experience wise as I haven't owned a lion but definitely will once I get a...
Sharpnose Puffers (ones that aren't fat) tend to get along with other fish well. Not that all of the fat ones don't, but it gets a little riskier and...
I think you're going to have a cycle. The new sand is definitely not going to help and you have very little live rock in there. Keep an eye on...
Haven't read through this, but the beananimal overflow system is great and you learn a lot about overflows in general from the article. DIY Acrylic...

What do you mean by efficient? Power consumption or just actual flow...? The one my friend has seems to be about 800gph and it's only 6 watts. One...
Not sure what the auto dosers are exactly, but if they use power put them on a timer that's set to only go for a certain amount of time or it'll end...
Maybe get a bigger sump and more rock? That's what I'd do. Otherwise you are just transferring water change maintenance to canister maintenance.
What kind of wrasse is it?
My friend has had an 800gph version for a month now without issue. Paid about $15 shipped for it. I did research first and found a handful of people...
Buying a used heater is a bad idea. Not knowing how old it is or if it was abused (on while out of water during changes) isn't good. I've never...
New sand could easily cause a cycle. You won't have all of that beneficial bacteria helping keep the tank stable. I'd just use the same sand and...
True but if the cost is the same, I'd prefer buying stuff with coraline. Since it's so expensive. Also, it's insurance that the rock you are buying...
