    Am I missing something to quiet my filtration

    I have a 74 gallon bow front tank with a protein skimmer and filtration system. The water filters down a hollow tube about 8 inches wide and as deep as the tank. The slits in the plastic at the top and the middle allow for filtration of the water into the tank below with the "bio" bag. Being...

    Thanks for all your input. Trying not to spend any more money since the dude who was supposed to be the expert jacked us up so bad on the front end. The wife is not wanting to spend ANY money we don't have to to get this right. As it is, since we live in the Keys, we collect our own fish and...

    Purple and Green Hairy algae

    This has probably been addressed so forgive me if I'm rehashing something, but I'm now getting purple hairy algae all over the sand, and green hairy algae on the live rock. We've had the tank up since the first of August and all has been well. We're not putting anything new in uless it's been...

    What made you want a REEF aquarium?

    My wife and I live in the Florida Keys. We're always on the water, in the water, snorkeling, taking pictures, catching lobster and shooting fish and it's something we can do together. In 2001 I took a 55 gallon tank that was sitting in my storage shed and decided that since we live on the...
