I have a bicolor angel in my fowler (220 gallon) and he is the biggest pest on the tank. He nips my lionfish and angler fish. If I thought I could catch him, I would.

In remember having the same penguin filter on my freshwater chiclid tank in the 90s when I was a teenager. I now have a marineland 350 (still a penguin) on my saltwater QT tank. It has 2 biowheels but the design hasn't changed. If it was a gimmick then it wouldn't still be around after all these...

Do you find it too loud being above the water level? Do you still use the skimmer?

I'll try that with the elbow under the water first. Thanks for the tip

Oh, good idea. Does it get clogged up over time? And you have the elbow under the water?

A couple pics of the return

So my new 210 Aqueon has been running for about a week and a half, and I am having a battle with microbubbles. I upgraded to the 210 from a 150. I bought a Reef Octopus XS 200 4 years ago when I upgraded to the 150. Since then, I have always noticed that the skimmer puts out some...

It's not the ones on the glass, it's the ones floating in the water

How long did it last for? Today looked better than yesterday.

So I just set up my new 210 tank. New 225 Gallon Build | REEF2REEF Saltwater and Reef Aquarium Forum It's been up and running for about about 5 days now. The fish seem to be doing well and my water parameters are good, but I keep getting micro-bubbles which is getting frustrating. Now, I...

I did a tank transfer over the weekend and due to the stress I lost my beloved dwarf golden moray. I had him for 4+ years. When I got him, I had a 75 gallon so I didn't want to get a full size eel. I've since moved up to a 150, and now to a 225. Now that he is gone I need to have another...

So I just got my 225 up and running yesterday. After I turned the lights on, I could see that there were bubbles all over the place. The bubbles were coming out of the left side return. I know that it has something to do with the siphon break, because I can hear a sort of...

I just ordered a 225 gallon reef ready tank and stand. Does anyone have the Aqueon stand? I assume it is strong enough to support the tank it is made for. What are the internal dimensions? It says it is 28" tall, but how high is it from the "floor" of the stand to the bottom of the center...

So in the near future I am upgrading my 150 fowler to a 225. Years ago when I bought a complete set-up, the guy gave me 3 Rubbermaid bins of "live" rock. I used alot of it in my 150, I gave some to friends (no regrets, lol), and the rest has been in my attic. Yesterday, I pulled the rest out...

Do they have timers or is the timer separate? Can you do realistic sunrise and sunset?
