+1 Switched to the open line for my UGF before powerheads were available. The only noticeable difference was far less salt creep.
Matt did the same with great results. He started a thread on it several months ago.
Wow, really? Even I gave up air stones. :D In the early days, air stones provided some circulation, surface agitation, and fresh air "under the...
Typical scenario with low Mag. I'd double-check the numbers on that.
Yes, perfectly normal. It may take a few days or so to fully acclimate itself to it's new environment, but afterward, will still deflate occasionally...
Congrats on the upgrade. Reef Octopus is one of the better skimmers on the market. BTW, don't think the Berlin will do much for a Koi pond....
I agree that skimmers should not be counted, as the flow rate is misleading. A 300gph pump mixing air with water will produce far less flow than it's...
The only crabs I've seen with claws that small are female Fiddlers. Here's a pic of one from Borneo... Borneo Fiddler Crabs, Sabah,...
Well, that changes things. FWIW, I have 2 HOBs flowing across the surface, and 1 powerhead (running the UGF) pointed toward the front glass at an...

FYI, according to those that sell them, so are skunk cleaner and peppermint shrimp, sally lightfoot and emerald crabs, and purple reef lobsters. In...
Sounds like my kind of luck. lol "That order was placed a month ago. Believing it had been forgotten or dismissed, I've acquired one elsewhere....
Ask him to explain the millions of successful tanks around the world that also do not have his rock. lol Of course he's lying. It's a "pressure...
While I agree that live sand provides major benefits, only a small amount is needed to seed dry sand. You could save a few dollars by using dry and...
I'll bet he has the perfect skimmer for you, too. ::) With the proper balance between bioload and maintenance, a skimmer is not an absolute...
FTR, most epoxy adhesives are safe once they're cured (usually 24 hours). Here's a link to a thread showing a few......
No. There is no such thing as "one size fits all". Reef cleaner packs are designed to make money at the expense of the critters that will starve in...
It is documented that CBS do not kill fish, but rather, are the victims of anecdotal observation. :D While I agree that each individual has it's own...

+1 As for dosing Potassium, I would say the same for the Strontium and Iodide, and do you even know what is in the KZ? Seawater is a delicate...
