Thanks for your advice. I'll look into getting an RO/DI unit in the near future. It certainly can't hurt any! Any opinions on the refugium? Do you guys think a small 5 gallon fuge would do me any good on my 80+ gallon tank?

I just double-checked the water right out of my tap, and it looks good at pretty close to 0 ppm. Definitely less than 5 ppm (I'm using this test kit). This is why I never invested in a RO/DI unit when I first put the tank together, since it didn't look like my tap had much nitrate in it. Could...

Hi folks, I've had my 80-gallon up and running for about 7 months now (specs can be found in MyInfo). I'm currently stocked fairly light because of the Volitan Lionfish who currently resides in there. My problem is that for months now I've not been able to get my nitrates much lower than 15...

Good deal. I think I'm gonna go with the 950 and just throttle it back if need be. Thanks for the help!

OK, that makes sense...you only wanna pump back in as much or less than what's getting drained. Thanks to both of you for saving me from making a huge mess! LOL I'm not sure what my overflow is "rated" at, but it is a hole drilled into the bottom of the tank that accepts 1.5 inch diameter pipe...

I'm looking into getting a Mag Drive pump to put in the 30-gallon sump of the 80-gallon tank I recently purchased. I was planning on ordering it from Drs. Foster and Smith, here. I wasn't sure which model would be best though. From what I've read on these forums, for a reef tank you want a...

Hm, I suppose a way around that would be to lay down new substrate in the big tank, and then only bring over a few cupfuls of your old sand to seed it. That way you won't be breaking down the entire bed, and the new substrate will eventually seed via the cupfuls from the old tank plus the...

Hi there. I recently purchased an 80 gallon tank to upgrade from my current 30 gallon tank. The 30 gallon is pretty well-established (up and running for well over a year now), with 40 lbs of live rock and 30 lbs. of aragonite-based sand. The bio-load is pretty small, just one oscellaris clown, a...

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but if you're looking for an alternative to iTunes, and you are familiar with Winamp, then you might want to look into this plugin for Winamp: http://www.mlipod.com/index.php I've been using this instead of iTunes for the past 7-8 months...

Oops. I can see that the answer to my last question was already answered here: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=69073 Sorry about that.

Hello all. I have been lurking around this site for a couple of months now and have gathered a ton of useful information from everyone's posts. I had a question about the infamous "ich" parasite. I've searched through the forum archives in an attempt to answer my question, but have been unable...
