Well. here's an update. The Yellow has eased up on Little Blue. In fact, his fin seems to have become normal again already. He is eating well and swimming the whole tank. They even swim side by side. I realize a 55 is debatable for tangs but I don't have or want as much live rock as most do and...

I just got a small Blue Tang. Beautiful and healthy for now BUT my fairly small Yellow Tang is hammering him. He nips the Blue and tries to swat him with his tail. This is the 6th hour since adding the Blue. Is this normal? Will the yellow get mellow and finally accept my new Blue? He nipped a...

Very cool. Thanks!

I bought a pair of very small ocilleris clowns at the same time as I know you must buy in pairs. Well, one died after one week but the other is healthy and strong. He's been doing great for the past two months. Can I add another one at this point or will they kill each other. Also, on the topic...

Thank you all for saving me $30 and some grief. I think the box is designed to add a sponge for bubble reduction. I just added a sponge to the return. Works pretty well.

I am new but I also had a nasty brown algae problem. If it continued, I probably would not stay with it. Our water here in Oregon is very pure and clean and was told by more than one LFS that Ro or distilled water was unnessesary. Well, my tank has now matured three months and it has...

Same here. I notched a round sponge and it stays put on the outflow w/o rubberband. The bubbles are still there though and it bugs me because I know the tank would look even better without the bubbles that do escape. I have had mine running for two months. I also don't want the box. I read in...

My yellow tang hardly leaves anything for his mates. He eats more like horse. Thanks for advice on clip w/ Nori. Tweetie will be happy!

I have a AquaC remora and had/have the same problem. I don't think mine is adjustable. After two months, it still gives off bubbles but I fit a sponge at the outflow and it pretty much took care of it.

I just used 30lb cured live rock, no shrimp. My 55 cycled in just over two weeks.

What kind of sponge should I use? Do they sell them at most LFS? I gotta try this. Loganj...How long did it take for the bubbles to go away for you?

I was about to get the pre-filter but I don't know now. I want ALL the bubbles gone. Did you use the sponge inside? Have you seen an improvement? My tank is a 55 and I would prefer to use it 24/7. I think I need to contact the manufacturer. Perhaps I have a dud. Most people rave about it.

I am quite interested in this pre-filter box. It states that is for a "Mag-3". I don't know what that is. I have the AquaC Remora w/Maxi1200. Will it still work,i.e. Will the MJ1200 fit in it?

Good question. Can you use it intermittently? I don't like the noise and me and my fish hate the bubbles.

I have a Remora C and have been unhappy with it. It pours out billions of micro-bubbles. Suppose to be normal for first month but they won't go away on mine. They sell a $42 prefilter box to eliminate it so consider that with your cost for this unit.
