I saw that not too long ago. It looks very nice. I've always liked fluidized beds. In the past, I just used a mesh bag in the sump or canister....
Hi: I'm in the just in case mode. I have a CBS and 2 Skunks in my 300. Thus far, life is peaceful. Every time I see one of the Skunks cruise by...
Very nice. :)
Phosphate tests are notoriously unreliable. I've got an old thread on it somewhere. When the readings from distilled water ran higher than my RODI or...
I don't know why, but I'd rather smell burnt race fuel.;D
I think that sounds about right. I think I recently paid about $30 for 70lbs.
Yeah, I get that in the basement when I'm near the sump. Not bad, but like the ocean. It was stronger when the tank was cycling. Any algae outbreaks?...
Or put some activated carbon over the skimmers vent hole. At my office I run the intake hose for the becket into the collection cup.
Lionfish in the wild are primarily Invert eaters (shrimp). Goldfish and guppies are supposed to mess up their liver. Eventually, (3-5 years) it's...
Got me hanging as to when or if it will reappear. I got mine last January.
Goldfish or guppies. Just don't get him used to them. They are not good for the long haul.

That is a great price on IO and there is nothing wrong with it. IMO, it just dissolves a little slower than Oceanic. It shouldn't. Oceanic should...
Of course, if I was starting from scratch I wouldn't go that route. Have you considered a DIY sump? For a 55 they are really pretty easy to build...
IMO, for a canister filter 404s are not that bad. I ran one on my old 130 FO for years with no problem. I have one on my 72. I use it for pure...
Well if you do get a little extra Phosphate I see it as a great excuse to get some Giant Clams. :D They like phosphate and remove it from the tank. ;)
You might want to check your nutriant levels too. A new tank growing lots of algae can be high in phosphates. Keep skimming for all you are worth...
Interesting read, but did I hear the word Phosphate?
A whole lot more than that!!! ;D
