In my sump i have some CC that has adopted many pods, small starfish, and probably lots of life I cannot see. Also the walls of the sump are covered in what looks like a gelatin mounds( i.e. filter feeder, sponge?). Should I clean these off or leave them as they may help more than hurt? Also...

Is there any research that has been done in finding if the vibration noise coming from our pumps has any adverse affect on the life forms in our tanks? I can get mine fairly quiet to my ears but if you put your ear to the actual tank glass you can hear the vibration noise in the water. Any...

My angel has a white looking fungal growth on her fin. closest thing i can find is it is a viral infection and there is no cure. they suggest trimming that part of the fin off. it does not bother her any as she goes about just like normal. the picture is in my gallery...

My 180 gallon has about a 15 inch center brace. My water level is up to this brace to where the surface water on one end does not reach the other without going under the brace to the other end. Do i need to lower my water level so that the water can move from one to the other because my...

My pump that came with this skimmer locked up on me and it is almost 2 years old. Does anyone know of the company website or where i can get the same pump. Thanks

After many years of planning and collecting equipment I have been able to fill my tank, sump, and refugium. Here are some pics of the whole operation.

Well the subject says just about everything. I have 6 silver dollars in there with nothing else but rocks and fake plants. What different solutions could assist in cutting this problem down. There is only basic lighting on the tank.

I have a skimmer, sump, overflow, return pump, heaters, powerheads, i know the lighting i want and the ro/di i want. what about the scrapers, tongs, nets, thermometers etc.... anyone that has a tank know of the small items i should consider. thanks

i was looking at the blueline e-ballast 400 watts from www.championlighting.com . also i saw the icecap dimmable 400 watt ballast from out newest sponsor www.premiumaquatics.com . would a dimmable ballast be beneficial? the cost is relatively the same only 5 dollars difference.

my tank is going to be recessed in a wall so that it has a smooth front in the dining room and the back side will be in my tank room. i was just going to get some nice pine or oak to place as a front for the top of the tank. behind the scenes will be 3 400w mh. to reduce any chances of...

Here are the pics of my sump and overflow. i know in the sump pic it is hard to see where my baffles and things are but i can tell you if you like.

I know aquacultured is more environmentally friendly. My question is what is the differences in life forms and the amount of life from the gulf than from say fiji. I know I am no expert by far. But I am looking to make a large live rock purchse in a couple of months so I trying to find out a...

Why does it say as a side note that "Mag-Drive Pumps are not recommended for saltwater aquarium external use." ?

ok here is the scoop: I can get live rock shipped to my local airport through www.themarinecenter.com at 2.99 a lb for premium fiji lr or 3.99 for xl fiji lr. The shipping is dependent on the carrier approx. $40-60 for the first 100 lbs. not sure how much a lb. after that yet b/c i cannot get...

here is my idea, sort of, any further ideas are greatly appreciated.

i was looking at a magdrive 950gph return for my sump. also my berlin skimmer pump is rated at 550gph, was wanting more, but how could i incorporate the air intake that is on that pump onto a magdrive one? and how much can the skimmer take in gph?

I live north of Dallas and was looking for some stores close to me. I have made all of my hardware purchases online so far, but whence I start to make my LR and animal purchases I would like to be able to go and see them first.

Ok, I have many questions overall but I will start with only a few. I am putting at least a 4" DSB, using Southdown my local HD oredered from Pennsylvania (about $11 a 50lb bag with shipping), in my 180 gallon Oceanic. Its shape is 6'(long)x2'x2'. I am not planning on using a sump due to the...
