    Automatic Feeder for large acrylic tank

    I think this one would work for you: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=4456&N=2004+62741 Check out the others on the site..

    help all fish died overnight

    You did a 98% water change? Kind of extreme don't you think? .25 ammonia is a footprint of a problem, no matter what you need to get this resolved. It is probably a key to what happened.

    high nitrite. What gives?

    That is a lot of fish for a 4 month old tank no matter how big it is.. IMO..

    Can this be right?!?!?

    That quoted price is only for the socket.. The ballast is not included (read the text of the item you add to the cart). The socket is by far the cheapest piece to buy :)

    Am I a Cruel Owner? NEED ADVICE QUICK

    Will probably stress her out a lot in the net for an extended amount of time. I would get the biggest bowl/container I had and clean it out nicely put tank water in, add the fish and some type of bubbles or something.

    Where to buy coral?

    I go to: http://reefcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=98 and buy from others. It is so much cheaper and lots of good people there to buy from.

    Nitrites/Nitrates..

    Please read my follow-up reply. it is 1ppm & 4ppm respectively. I quoted how Aquatest presents the number, I did not convert them to ppm... Sorry for the confusion..

    Nitrites/Nitrates..

    It's 1ppm (10 is the reading from aquatest), Nitrates would be 4ppm... So not that bad :) Thanks for the quick concern though..

    What the hell is that noise?

    You are probably correct, now the hunt begins...

    Nitrites/Nitrates..

    Had a reading of 10 for Nitrites and 40 for Nitrates last night.. I believe my bio-balls are turning into a breeding ground for them.. How dangerous are those levels? I know 0 should be optimal.... I believe I am going to convert my wet/dry with bio-balls into a refugium, I just need to figure...

    What is your preferred flowrate..

    I have a 600gph sump pump & 3 Maxi 160gph heads on a wavemaker pro. This is in my 46g bowfront.. Curious if I should upgrade my Maxi's to the 240's... I keep fish, LR, and corals.. What is your preferred gph?

    Kenya Tree falling over..

    Anyone else had their Kenya Tree slump over? It used to stand up nice and strong, but lately it appears to be bending at it's side and slumping down. Is this a sign of problems? My last water test on Friday showed no issues across the board. I will check again this evening when I get home, but...

    MarineDepot return policy..

    No my total is still over $175 after the product was counted out of the total, but they still want the additional 10%.. I'm fine with paying the shipping back, but the 20% charge on top of that is a little extreme imo...

    MarineDepot return policy..

    Horrible fees. I got a CPR 90 overflow that I want to return, it is unopened and I just want to ship it back (I pay for shipping). However they want: 10% restocking fee ($8.90) 10% shipping reimburse since I ordered over $175 and they want it back ($8.90) and $11 for me to ship it back...

    Is it good or a pest?

    I had a similar one like that break out in my nano. Started small and dust like then over a two week period it turned into a thick sludge that started to take over everything. Had to manually remove as much as possible to get it back under control. Hopefully yours doesn't get to that...
