Hey, I've read a lot of forums and done my research but I can't seem to find any info on the level of the CPR skimmers. Does anyone have any input they can share with me relating to that skimmer? Good and Bad. Thanks

Hey, need some advice on which skimmer to buy. I've been running a Prism skimmer on my 55 gal FOWLR tank. It's been ok but i'm looking to upgrade to something better and hopefully quieter. After reading a bunch of forums i'm just not sure which way to go as one very important thing to me is...

I currently have a 55 gallon FOWLR tank. I would like to purchase a Bak-Pak skimmer. Which one would be best for me to purchase in the long run? The 2 or the 2R with the biobales? Thanks. Can I assume that these skimmers will be quiet?

i have a singapore angel in a tank with a Porc Puffer, maroon clown, and a lavender dottyback. The angel does not appear to be eating like the rest of them do. I have been feeding a pinch of flakes, 1 piece of krill, and then a 1/4 cube of frozen brine shrimp/algae/etc cube once a day. Is it...

Sorry for the length of this message but, I have been getting a lot of great answers here and have now decided to do something a little different. I have a 55 gal FOWLR (80lbs), with 2 maxi-jet 1200's turning over my water, with a 3 inch DSB. I was going add a HOB skimmer (CPR), but, after...

How do most of you go about cleaning the glass on your tank? My back wall gets the most of it, and with the live rock its very difficult to clean off without disrupting the rocks, etc. I was wondering if you guy can share any secrets with me, or, what the key is. Should i turn the...

Looking for opinions on placing 2 drawf angels in a 55 gallon FOWLR tank. Looking at a Coral Beauty and then either a Yellow Angel, Lemonpeel, or Rusty Angel. Live aquaria says use caution, LFS says given the types i am looking at says shouldnt be a problem, and then i've read on here only 1...

I have a 55gal FOWLR tank, been running about 4 months with a maroon clown and a small pink fish, sorry i dont remember the name, maybe a dottyback, from when i moved from a smaller tank. 2 MJ1200's mounted in the corners are my flow. I do a 10% water change every other Saturday and have not...

Can someone please walk me through the way you have you assembled your Maxi-jet 1200's? I have tried everything and after 3 days these things are still making this humming noise. I know these must be good pumps, given how recommended they are on this site, and since they both are making noice...

I am placing 2 200 watt heaters, (just becuse i have them) in my 55 gallon FOWLR tank. I have a message posted here about my PH troubles, but once those are good, can the heaters be placed horizontally at the top of the aquarium on the back wall? As I finished building the aquascape with the...

Thank you to the 2 guys who responded to my question regarding the maxi-jets. Well i did as you said, seem to be running fine, but the have this annoying hum coming from them right now. So much so if i didnt know better about these i would take them out as is really deters from the tank. Do...

I am placing 2 maxi-jet 1200's in my 55 gallon FOWLR for flow. Since i do not want it to be creating bubbles in the tank which is the best way to install these pumps? Do i even bother attaching the air hose, or should i just plug the hole. The instructions that came with the Maxi-Jet didnt...

I have setup a 55 gal FOWLR, and will be going through the cycling portion now. I have @ 100lbs of live rock in the tank a 3 inch DSB, plan on having 5 or 6 small fish outside of the clean-up crew. Currently i have 2 Maxijet 1200's running on the 2 sides of the tank both pointed slightly down...

I currently have a 29 gal SW tank with @40 lbs or live rock and a 3inch sand base running. There is a Magnum 250, and I have a Prism skimmer running on the tank, the basic one, which i realize is not the best, but when it runs it is barely pulling anything out. There are 5 fish in the tank, a...

I have posted a few messages here and gotten some good advice but this one still confuses me. I will be setting up a 55 gal with @ 50 lbs of live rock, and 50 lbs of "dead" live rock (it was stored in water for 6 months with a temp of 65 degrees). I will also have a 3 inch live sand base...

I think im going to add a canister filter to my 55 gallon tank FOWLV, which filter should i get, a FlistarXP2 or the Fluval 304?

Hello, i plan i starting up a 55gal SW FOWLR tank. I currently have @ 50lbs of live rock cured and ready to go, i also have @ 40-50lbs of live rock that came out of another tank a few months ago, was kept in SW, but only at room temp, @ 65 degrees so im sure it died off. I was going to hook up...

Hello, i am new to the site, and let me tell you this is the greatest thing around. I've already found lots of great information that i will use as i start my tank. I have a question regarding some old live rock. I have been running a 29 gallon saltwater tank for about 2 years, nothing...
