Just wondering which protein skimmer people use with a 28g nano cube. I currently have the stock skimmer that comes with the tank and does not seem to be doing a good enough job. The skimmer uses the limestone air diffuser. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I have a 12 gal nano tank running now and just received a 28 gal nano cube. Is it okay to transfer old sand to new tank and add inhabitants that quick or would it end up cycling over again? What is the best way to accomplish this task? Thanks

Has anyone ever heard or seen peppermint shrimp eating corals. I believe these are not camel shrimp either. They are almost translucent and their body lines run parallel with their bodies. But the reason I ask is this morning I noticed my birds nest coral was completely white and one of the...

I'm curious to what some of you mix in your top-off water. I have been looking around and found that people mix kalkwasser or salt with their top-off water. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I had a quick question about R/0 systems. I have a reverse osmosis system not a R/O D/I system, does anybody think this could have any effect on excessive algae growth? I believe the de-ionization part takes out the phosphates which help algae grow but I Need a second opinion. Thanks
