I have white settlement (looks like fine grains of sand) coming from my return hose on my wet/dry system. Does anyone know what type of filter do I need to use on the top in order to stop this from happening? I also have sentiment on the bottom of the return chamber, which seems to be the...

I have a Eshopps Wet/Dry 75 Sump Filter that I can't seem to get running right. No matter how much I clean the containers it continues to spit out white sentiment. I am considering replacing it with a canister to keep this form happening. Any suggestions before I take the plunge and replace it?

Because the anemone feeds off what the clown doesn't eat and it's poop...haha...No better way to say it:)

Cantareadio, It is my understanding that if the anemone isn't paired with a clown, he receives very little nutrients. The Anemone is a living organism and needs to feed just like anything else. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Mac, You are correct it is a Sebae Anemone and is about three inches across. It's a new tank with only live rock, one clown fish and several turbo snails. I wanted to buy something my clown would like hanging out in, but as of now the clown hovers mid to high in the tank and the anemone is on...

So I bought a white send anemone and he seems to be doing great but I have a question regarding care/feeding and movement. Do I actually feed the anemone and if so what do I feed him and how often. I am also curious to know if they are supposed to be moving. He seems to moving about the tank...

Does anyone know where I can buy heads of various mushrooms in Oahu? I know, I live in a marine paradise but can't manage to find quality aquarium pieces.

I have a 55gal SW tank with a Eshopps Wdcs 75 wet/dry Filter and a regular filter for additional filtration. Do I still need a protein skimmer and if so, what type are the best for a tank which will have some coral and fish. I just put new live rock in the tank and allowing it to cycle for...

Well I went snorkeling and picked up some rock for the tank. Not too sure about my set up, will probably change in a while. I also picked a couple of new critters along the way. I was able to capture a brittle star fish, and two tiger cowry. They are really cool looking, I hope they will...

Well I decided to keep the sand. I have a wet/dry system (came with the tank) and a power filter for additional filtration so I don't think filtration is an issue with sand. I also sift the sand while I do water changes, so the fear of gas is minimal and I am getting better at cleaning the...

Ah, Clean up crew? Makes sense. I guess I can wait to buy some when I get rock in the tank. Tough time trying to buy good sets of CUC here in Hawaii, believe it or not.

Jems, what is a CUC? Sea Cucumber?

I currently have sand in my new 55 gal tank and was wondering if crushed coral wouldn't be a better option. I was cleaning the sand and found it very difficult to keep from sucking up a lot of the sand particles in my tube. Are there any down sides to change my sand out for crushed coral? I...

My Two tanks OK here are my two tanks. The 55gal is the empty one and the other is a 14gal nano SW tank, which is doing great.

Just finished with a 10gal water change, off to the water pump to fill my 5 gal jugs back up. I will post photos of both tanks once I get back.
