I want to add a cooling fan to the sump (berlin 125) of my aquarium to pull it down a degree or two. Is it as simple as just aiming the air flow down into the sump? Also, do most only use them when the lights are on, or all the time? I suspect I will run it as much as necessary to get my...

Thanks Guys!!! I guess that settles it....gonna leave it and enjoy watching them do whatever they do with it! Thanks again, Jeff

Hi all, I recently purchased an arrow crab to help with my bristle worm "infestation"...it's worked like a charm. However, the rascal just molted and as it's my first crab, I'm trying to decide what to do with it. I've read on here, and the general consensus seems to be to leave them in and...

Thanks, Kurt. You hit the nail on the head......I'm struggling with changing anything as it's worked well for the fish for so long. You're right...the nitrates are pretty high, and I don't seem to have much problem with algae. I am concerned about how large the worm population will grow if I...

Thanks for the quick replies... Two replies and they both are saying the same thing.....too much food. If it helps, the tang is about 4 1/2" long and the clown is about 3" long. Please keep the advice coming!!!

Hi All, I'm relatively new to the saltwater aquarium hobby, but did acquire a 55g tank from a friend that is complete with live rock and two fish ( clown and yellow tang). He has had the tank (and same fish) for right at 15 years...so I am just continuing what he had been doing as it...

Just added a little more water...going to try your suggestion...it makes perfect sense. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Jeff

Following your suggestion.....closed it up a bit and it did seem to begin making smaller bubbles......watching it to see if it improves. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Jeff

I did as you suggested last night. I have my water level as high as the slip-fit fitting will allow. Over night the column of bubbles made it to the top of the small tube in the collection cup....it hasn't rolled over the top of the tube and run down in the cup yet, but it is close. I guess I...

Yes, that is an adjustable valve that I replaced. I have it wide open. Thanks!

Thanks for the response! The skimmer has a slip fit type fitting on the discharge port...I can raise it up. I adjusted it to put the level at the "level" mark on the tube. Should I just raise it up a lot higher? Any idea how high?...till the foam is at the base of the collection cup...

Hi all, I recently acquired a "seasoned" 55gal aquarium from a friend who was moving...he's had it for about 15 years. It has two fish....a clown and a yellow tang, as well as lots of live rock with what I'm told are watermelon mushrooms on it. When we moved the aquarium, we used approximately...
