When I bought my 120gal tank (salt) I was talked into this wonderful filter. Has anyone used this filter, are they happy with it? I have found this to be the biggest piece of junk, and it costs $400.00 with both pumps. Both the top piece of plastic and the filter tray have warped, now mind you...

Here's the deal, the same thing happened to me. I called all-glass they know about the problem and have replaced my tops under warranty. They decided to change glass vendors and ARE NOT using tempered glass!!! They will re-imburse you if you have the glass replaced by a glass shop or send you...

Here we go again guys and gals another snail issue or actually a question. Now that my snails are alive, they are very lethargic and don't move too often. They lay on the bottom of the tank with all their business hanging out! (usually upside down or leaning to the side) My tangs (3 yellows)...

Salinity now at 1.025 - 1.026. Added 10 more snails last night, and after 10 hours they were all laying upside down BUT still alive. They fell off the glass overnight, I just trurned em over and off they went! Looks like that did it! Thanks everyone for their help! Making that drastic change...

Update: LFS says water's fine, however the low salinity 1.022 would kill the snails. Anything below 1.023 will take out snails... hmmm We may be on to something... Salinity has been up'd to 1.025, 5 more snails going on tonight. Updates to follow Comments?

I will up the salinity, have my water tested at the lfs and let you know what happens. I assume the higher salinity level is ok for the fish? The other inverts I have are just fine... Hermit crabs are thriving!

I acclimated these guys for 4 hours last night (drip) and they were fine. which seems really strange, after 4 hours I was sure they would be ok! The water had to, at the least, quadruple

Salinity 1.022 PH roughly 8.4 - 8.6

Yeah I'm pretty sure they're dead. When i put em in the tank there is plenty of movement. It usually takes about 30 minutes and they settle. Over the next hour or so I watch come detached (glass or lr)and usually fall upside down to the bottom of the tank and stay that way for days. 3 days...

No Brass

No copper meds , ammonia 0, nitrates are right around 20 ppm, nitrites 0

Ok, this is very depressing. During acclimation of 4 hours using the drip method they are fine. No issues at all -- The water more than triples -- still no issue. A soon as I put em in the tank (155 gallon, 2 months old, 3 tangs, 2 clowns, 250lbs live rock, all water related tests are fine) They...

I use regular tap water. Perhaps I should try distilled :roll: RO=no Substrate=sand (not live) 100lbs Hope that helps...

Tank 155 gallon Lights 2 110 Compact fluorescent 50/50 actinic 130 lbs live rock tank has been up for a month What the hell is it? If I restrict the lighting to 5 hrs per day the problem goes away. Now yesterday I had the lights on for 10 hours (company) now it's goin brown again! Where...
