    Shrimp Cycle

    Ive done the shrimp method numerous times to cycle tanks. Always worked fine with no problems. Well, 2 weeks ago I added a shrimp to my new 125 gallon tank and its still not decaying. Very weird as it has always started to decay within a week in the past. Anyone else have this happen? Any reason...

    Threaded or Slip for Durso Standpipe?

    I've always used slip bulkheads to insert the durso standpipes but was wondering if there are any benefits to using a threaded one? Will a threaded one prevent any leaks back into sump when system is shut down?

    Microbubbles

    Just recently started getting a lot of microbubbles in my tank. I originally thought it may be the skimmer but its not. I ran the tank skimmerless for a while and I am still getting them. I guess it could be my return line. My return output is only about 2 inches under the waterline and...

    1.020 Salinity

    Like an idiot I never calibrated my refractometer when I got it. Just did it today and realized my salinity is at 1.020. The fish and cuc are doing fine, so it seems. Could this be a reason why there seems to be a loss of coraline algae in my tank and not much life on the live rock? I was...

    Sedra 3500 pump too loud?

    My Sedra 3500 pump that came with my ASM G-1X Skimmer is way too loud. It vibrates the heck out of my acrylic sump. Anyone know of a good replacement pump for this skimmer?

    Adding live rock to cycling tank

    Been doing a fishless cycle on my 75 gallon for about 4 weeks now. Using pure ammonia for the cycle. I am using a wet/dry filter (not running my skimmer yet) and the tank is filled with base rock. I am going through the nitrite spike right now. I stopped dosing the ammonia 2 days ago and added...

    2 inches of sand

    I have my 75 gallon FO tank cycleing right now. I used 80 pounds of Caribsea fiji pink sand so it gives me about 2 inches of sand. A tad bit more in a few places. Is this too much sand? Ive never had a problem with this much sand in my freshwater tanks but this is my first saltwater and I just...

    Lace rock from freshwater tank

    Looking to use my lace rock from my cichlid tank in my new fowlr. I soaked the rocks in boiling water for about 30 min. Should I go as far as power washing them to get them clean or should it be fine? They do have a little bit of green algae on them.

    2 HOB Overflows for 75 gallon?

    I'm running an Eshopps PF-800 overflow on my 75 gallon fowlr tank. I have another one thats not being used and was wondering if I should put this on the tank as well. Would this be overkill? Should I even bother?

    Switching to Saltwater

    This is my first post so I want to start off by saying Hi to everyone. Finally going to make the switch to saltwater and I just have a few questions. For starters, I've been keeping all types of african cichlids for the last 15 years so I'm definitely not new to aquariums. I also know quite a...
