Picked up a kit, it reads somewhere between 0 and 0.25PPM. I know it's supposed to be 0, but is this high enough to cause problems? Is it possible I disrupted too much junk under the gravel (I don't usually vacuum the gravel as aggressively as I did yesterday). If this is a problem, what...

1 week ago, I picked up a Flame Angelfish to join my two clowns and yellow tang. He seemed to be acclimating well until yesterday when I did a 30G water change and vacuumed my gravel (which I do every two weeks). Now he is swimming on his side a lot. Can anyone give me advice on what I should...

Thanks for all the help! The system has an old (and I believe) out of commission chiller with a themostat that reads 80-81. So I'm below the critical threshold of 84, but am concerned about the upcoming summer. How about putting a fan in to blow the sump system? The top of the tank isn't...

Hey all, After a good 2 months, I finally got my marine aquarium up and running and wanted to know about chillers. My aquarium is running very warm and I'm concerned about the summer months. Can anyone recommend a good chiller unit that either runs inline with my pump or can attach to my...

Thanks for the photo help! For now I'd like to do FO until I get my feet wet and have a few mishaps that I learn how to deal with before going to LR. The chiller is hooked up in series after the pump, which I'm sure is contributing to the decreased flow along with the large vertical head. Not...

Hope it comes through okay. Wasn't able to upload the pictures directly, but hopefully the link works. Thanks for all the help! I'm coming to the harsh/exciting reality that I need to just sub in a bigger pump on the bottom and a powerhead or two in the tank itself. Any comments are...

What do you mean by "heat it?" Should the sponge, balls, etc be put in salt or regular water? Any advice on the overflow for the pump? Should the system be able to accommodate a larger pump? I wasn't able to find much help with that calculation.

Thanks! Thanks so much for the advice!! The tank dimensions are: Length: 46.5" Width: 15" Height: 27" Overflow dimensions (fixed in a corner of the tank): Length: 5" Width: 4.5" Height: 27" I have ~1.5" of gravel in the bottom. The tank was custom made. The overflow has 1/4" x 2" slits cut...

Hi all, hope you can offer insight/advice. I am concerned about flow/circulation to my setup. In brief: 90 gallon marine tank w/sump system, protein skimmer and chiller (that I don't think works). Water delivery: outlet at the top of the tank Water return: overflow design also at the top of...
