    Living phytoplankton

    Should I turn off all my pumps when feeding my invertebrates and filter feeders? I am using living phytoplankton, I am not sure whether to turn off all my pumps or just my protein skimmer.. Thanks..

    Reactor?

    I would like opinions on my reactor media. I have limited space in my 305 Fluval filter, so would like to combine chemi-pure and Dr. G's phosphate & silica remover in to my reactor. Someone at my lfs told me to try it, but I don't trust the dude. Is it a good idea to combine the two different...

    Broken pump

    I have a 45 gal fowlr and my Fluval canister filter pump broke yesterday and I'm going to buy a new one ASAP. Is my tank safe for a few days without one? I have a phos-reactor and two power heads moving water around pretty good. If I change water every day, am I safe? Thanks...

    Bad lobster!!

    Does anyone know what I can use as a good cuc, because I have a Reef Lobster that ate ALL of my hermits and seahair. Ugh, costly mistake again!! I have a terrible nuisance algae problem that regular pwc with RO top offs and the removal of phosphates with reduced lighting doesn't seem to be...

    Is this normal??

    I think my lobster ate most of my cuc. 10 Hermits and a medium size sea-hair. The lobster is small, normally shy and timid. But it is the only thing I can think of. Maybe it was my bicolored angel or my clowns? I don't think so....

    Clean up crew?

    I just got a sea hair, 10 turbos,10 red legged hermits, and a lawnmower Blenny. Expensive cuc, but I think it'll pay off. Any acclimating hints?

    Clean up crew?

    I've had hermits, snails, emeralds in the past. Now I have nothing. I understand the importance of them, just looking for some advise. How many and what species? Do they eat coraline algae? I have a 48g and just recently battled a hair algae problem. Looking for all the help I can get... Thanks.
