I have a 75 gallon saltwater with some live rock and 1 lunare wrasse in it. I am running a coralife skimmer off the back and most of the time it works great. I can set it to filter what they call dry but every now and then out of the blue it starts pushing foam into the collection cup and...

thanks, Comes out to 54# of sand. What would you recommend for powerheads?

I am setting up a 75gal reef and would like 1 inch of sand in the bottom How much would that take? Is there a calculator for that Also what would you recommend for powerheads? I have a corallife super skimmer I plan to use. Thanks for any help!

you will be happier in the long run to do it right the first time. Level it a precise as you can get it. The water level will be better level.

yoyo's or clowns I put 3 yoyos and 3 clowns (1 died) to keep my snail population under control. I no longer have a snail problem. In fact I never see any snails. I do clean them out of my cannister filter and fed them. I really would like to find a supple to feed them.

I am in he process of accumulating stuff to set up my 75 gallon salt water reef tank. My question is do I need RO/DI or can I use tap water that has been aged. I know that I have to make sure that the salinity and temp are the same for my water changes but to initially set it up will I need it?

Thanks I will try it. Does it sink or do you have to weight it down?

My redtails like to chase my green tiger barbs also. I figure the barbs annot them.

thought about that but how much of a mess is it?

just wondering what everyone else feed their fish. I use flake food, Frozen shrimp brine, Frozen blood worms, freeze dried tubiflex worms, freeze dried blood worms, algae wafers, and an occasional leaf of lettuce. I have tetras, angels, pleco, loaches, and algae eaters. Thanks for all that respond!

yoyos My yoyos are very active also. As they get older they get more timid tho. I also bought mine to contol a snail population. Now I need a supply of snails to keep them fed. Anyon e have any extra?
