It's a lot cheaper to build one yourself! I'm sure that's what most people do. They are incredibly expensive through a retailer. Also, a 55 isn't that large. So, you would ideally aim for a tank at least held that size for a sump. I know people that run a 20 long for a sump on their 55 gallon...

I'll trim back the sponge... Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hey you all, any ideas on this sponge? A buddy of mine told me it was harmless. I do enjoy it's look, but it seems to be growing pretty quick and it's almost touching the Hollywood Stunner.. The Stunner was given to me by a local member because it wasn't doing to well in his aquarium. Any...

Well it's a hot summer here in Tallahassee, Fl. It's upwards of 100* each day. My reef tank is a constant 79* F. I only use the heater sometimes in the winter. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Also, forgot to mention it is a 20 long.. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Here are a couple of photos of my sump. It came out extremely well and I couldn't be more satisfied with it. The first chamber houses the skimmer, then you have bubble traps, followed by a refugium(which is currently empty) and lastly is the return. Overall, very impressed with it. Sent from...

You could always go with a Coralife if your low on funds! I will be honest, it's not the best by any means, but mine does a fairly efficient job. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

No, I wouldn't advise running a canister. Definitely go with a sump! It's so much better and houses nearly everything you need. You could do 3 chambers, first being for the skimmer, second as a refugium, and third for your return to the display tank. Also, you do not need to run a wave maker...

You have several options. I'm actually experiencing the same thing. Chaeto died on me as well and my refugium has been empty for 5 months now. I'm thinking either deep sand bed or additional live rock. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yeah I could have done the same, but it would be hard to do that and attend college full time + work. A 40 breeder isn't so bad, and is quite manageable. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I said the same thing.. Start small and do a 40 breeder... I'm over 1,500 total Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Good point! I didn't think of it like that. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yeah that's what I assumed. It's pulling out skimmate, mostly wet. I want the gunk, but my tank is so lightly stocked I doubt I'll reach that goal. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Looks great so far! Can't wait until I graduate college and become more stable. I'm going invest in a huge reef! Ahahah Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

This was me! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Go slow and easy! I remember building my sump and doing all the plumbing for my 40 breeder!!! Lots of work, lots of stress, but hang in there! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Appears to be a Cerith Snail... Totally harmless! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I would try to manually remove as much as possible.. After that, definitely increase the flow. Those should help, however, you need to address the underlying issue. Why is it growing? How often are you doing water changes? How much do you feed? Are you topping off with R/O? Sent from my...

I recently purchased a Sunburst about 3 weeks ago. I must say, great fish. I have a small pod population and only feed the tank every 3 days and mine is doing very well. I keep him on a mixed diet of krill, brine, and Mysis. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Foams gone now.. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

it's starting to foam now.. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Regardless of the height, no foam yet. I'm assuming it will develop in a few days or so. The cleaning must have done something! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
