Hey all been awhile since I posted, I have a 75 mixed reef with a 40gal sump. I am currently running a diablo dc3500 return pump. Here is my issue I built a room in my basement and want to move sump down there. unfortunately my pump will not push the water back up to the display. Don't ask how I...

I had a wp40 in my 75 that quit working. I replaced it with the rw15 and I would say flow seems very similar to the 40 but you have more increments that you can adjust it. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I can't say what is best but I can tell you I just added my pistol shrimp and in less than 12 hours they were moved in together and happy as can be. My goby has been in my tank for several months prior. From what I have read I don't think it matters when they are added.

I have a 75gpd 4 stage BRS ro/di system. Just out of curiosity I checked to see how much waste water I was putting out for every gallon of good water and I was surprised that it put out 5 gallons of waste for just 1 Good gallon. Doesn't this seem like a lot? I am running at about 50 psi. Anybody...

I thought angels were coral nippers????

I have a 75 gal mixed reef and currently my biggest fish is a one spot foxface. I also have 2 clowns, 1 blue chromis, 1 six line wrasse, 1 watchmen Goby, 1 by-color blenny, 2 cleaner shrimp and a variety of snails. I would like to add another fish that would be similar in size to the one spot...

Is this apistasia? I order some joe's juice today assuming that's what it is.

Yep that's what I do. A couple times I got a complete syringe in before it started changing color.

ok thanks. Could be operator error too lol. not a big fan of the tests. Definitely like my Hanna alk and phos testers better.

I was just wondering is there an amount of Magnesium that is to high? I am using reef crystals salt mix and I am testing with red sea test kit. My current readings have been 1700-1800. And no I am not dosing Mg. Just wondering if I should be worried

looks like a zebra nerite. I have a few in my tank

Does anybody know if there is a difference in Arm and Hammer brand and the generic when using it to dose alk?

I check it before I top it back off with straight ro/di water and even after i wait half an hour or so and recheck it doesn't seem like it is any lower. I even checked it with my old hydrometer (which I know are not the most reliable) today and got pretty close to the same readings before and...

I have a 75 with a 40 sump I'm figuring I have a total volume of around 90 gallons. My question is I lose about 2-3 gal every couple days and salinity doesn't seem to change. I am using a BRS refractometer calibrated with the calibration fluid that came with it. Is this normal not to see a big...

Found 2 of these little guys in my sump any ideas? Are they good or should they go?
