True. I always figured having a redundant system would be best. If I did it I would use two valves on the return. I have a 75 I am gonna set up...
Or you can just use a check valve.
Copper piping is often used in the distillation process. Since copper is toxic to invertebrates and there is no way to be sure if it is in your...
Well, it has been in my tank for 4 mo's now. I assumed it was happy because the heads are dividing and there are new little heads growing all over...
Things are going well still. The skimmer has been filling the cup every 2 days. The skimmate is the color of caramel and is wet. And the tank has...
Good stuff. Thanks for the tips. Mysis are a staple, of course. I have been thinking about getting some of those oyster eggs people on here are...
I just picked up a small Montastrea frag yesterday. I am not sure which species it is but I suspect M. cavernosa. It looks pretty cool--I'll put...

My skimmer went down for like two weeks. Even though I know people who are having plenty of success w/o skimming, I hated the way my water looked...
I have been running this skimmer for the past six months too and have had no problem with flooding. I should say that it does require some caressing...
Good advice from Curt. Damsels and clowns are two of the most scrappy types of fish you can have so they might just be punking each other out....
I agree with a lot of what you are saying here. It is true that most stuff is way hardier than it's given credit for being. KISS is a great...
