No, that's all you you need. That must be new. When I bought mine about a year and half ago, it only came with one clamp. I wrote a letter of complaint - maybe it did some good.

It comes with only one clamp (at least mine did). That is inadequate! Eventually it will slip off the hose if you don't add another clamp to the other end (or glue it as someone else suggested) and you will have a mess of water like I did. Buy a plastic clamp, and you may have to modify it by...

I have several loose mushrooms in my tank, which have released from their former rock. I've read about using superglue to affix them to a new rock to result in a nice new piece, but I've never seen details. So, please help if you can. Here are my questions. Do I take the target rock out in...

It is also important to buy two plastic hose clamps. Lock one each on the spot where the hose meets the remora inlet and where the hose meets the powerhead outlet. Trust me you'll be sorry if you don't. Water splashes everywhere as these tend to come loose with the vibrations. If you have...

Do you feed a blue linkia? or just leave it to the algae?

I did triple my bioload and I also added a bunch of hermits. I need to check my log book about interim tests. I'll respond with specifics when I get home tonight. Thanks.

No, but now that I'm thinking about it, the yellow tang & royal gramma were put in together 2 weeks ago (perhaps a bioload problem?). When I came home today, the royal gramma was dead, but the ammonia readings had dropped to 0.3 (nitrite still 0). I went to the lfs and picked up Prime - just...

Ammonia reading has been high - measuring something like 1.0-1.5. Before this, highest reading after cycling was 0.1. I did eveything I know of - changed 1/2 the water; added carbon - no change. Tank is a 55 gallon with 72 lb lr & remora pro skimmer,, all up and running for 3 months. This...

I add 10 ml per day of a calcium chloride solution I bought from a guy on ebay.

Is this correct? I thought you're supposed to clean out the neck of a skimmer twice a week with a paper towel. It gets very dirty quickly I have a Remora pro.

That ebay ad for the Hanna model says no need to calibrate. Is that true?

55 gallon tank established with fish for a month. 72 pounds live rock, 2 fish (clown, royal gramma), starfish, hermits, crabs, snails, 2 shrimp. Here are the test results: ammonia is 0.1 (this is definitely correct as I just got a new and better test kit for ammonia) - is it too high?; nitrite...

Ebay - very cheap, good selection. Mine came very clean

Use all uncured since you're cycling your tank with lr anyway. No need to mix, uncured has more life in it and I think the uncured would mess with the cured lr bacteria causing it to cycle anyway.

You should cycle with the live rock, like I just did with my new tank (based on advice here). Worked out great. In my opinion, it just doesn't make sense to add any fish that yoy don't intend to keep for the long haul.

I know that water flow is important, so I have 4 powerheads (2 hagens, 2 power sweeps) in a 55 live rock with fish aquarium. Three had those sponge prefilters, one had a plastic grill attachment. First a small common starfish got killed in a powerhead by getting an arm stuck. Then another...

I finally added my first fish to my first saltwater tank, a newly cycled 55 gallon (72 pounds live rock and remora pro skimmer). The gold banded clownfish has been in there for a week and doesn't eat, so far as I can tell. I've tried Formula 2 flake food, the wet food that is mostly daphnia...

Thanks a lot. Does anyone know the answer about the drain fitting? Also, do you need to turn off the pump during water changes? This is really a good place to get help. I appreciate it.

Based on advice from this forum I just bought the Aqua C Remora Pro with skimmer box and Mag 3 pump to replace a Prizm on my new 55 gallon (live rock only so far). I plan to set up the skimmer this weekend but am confused and seek your help. It appears that there is no connection of the box to...

I just received my Remora Pro with the skimmer box. I'll set it up this weekend, but am confused. It looks like there'es no connection to the tank or to the skimemr itself except for the tube connecting the skimmer to the pump. Is that right? Also, it looks liek the box fits snugly around...

My Prizm leaked, and so I just bought a Remora (haven't set it up yet). Based on my experience, consider avoiding the Prizm.

Based on advice from this forum, I'm going to upgrade to this skimmer also. Did the box come with the skimmer? or did you need to buy it separately. Where did you buy it? How much? Thanks.

Thanks. I'm using a liquid test, not strips. It's called something like the Master Test Lab (can't recall the brand - I'm typing this at work). I think I will leave out the chromis then. Clownfish, royal gramma and flame angel along with the snails, crabs, starfish & shrimp will do very nicely.

Thanks. I was cycling with the live rock. I bought it from the lfs but they said it was mostly uncured. Maybe cutting back to 3 chromis is a good idea.
