I have a 6ft long 125g reef. Been up and running for almost a year now. I have drilled overflows on each side that both term into a dual sump located on the right bottom of the tank. Both Dorso's have a pin hole in the top of them. They both seem to be "suckinig" water efficiently. The one...

Can I place it directly on the sand? It has about 7 heads/branches. It was thriving for about 4 months and I redid some rock work and now it doesn't come out as strong. Thinking it's maybe the low flow now?? Anyhow I want to move it to front of tank on the sand. This ok?

I came home from a 3 day vacation and my skimmer isn't working properly. See attached pic... i have a very basic skimmer but it always worked great. I would never be able to open up the airline all the way or water would pretty much shoot out the top. But now with the airline open all the way...

The instructions say to add 1 drop then shake... this should turn water blue. Then it says to add 1 drop at a time while shaking tube during each until the water turns yellow. Two questions: When you count the drops to get to the total KH - do you count the first drop (the initial one...

I have a 34g tank that had been up and running for almost 2yrs now. It had about 45lb's of LR in it...... recently i upgraded to a smaller tank and took all the live stock out of the 34g. I also took all LR but about 10lb's out.... My question is --- if I take all the LR out, is there...

Do I need to remove the molt from the tank? Will it hurt anything? Some research indicates i should take it out because of "iodine" and then other dictates that it doesn't hurt anything if I leave it in. How often will he molt? Anything special I need to know about the process?
