    Marine plants

    Howdy, I was wondering if I add a certain type of marine plant to my tank, will it help control algae? I didn't know what specie would be best and wouldn't take over the tank?

    DIY protein skimmer

    I built a protein skimmer, set it up, and it never created a layer of foam. Is this because i was using water out of the bath tub to test it or is it a design flaw? All ideas are appreciated

    opinions on filtration?

    I just got a 60 gallon tank. I have a saltwater tank already but it only has a few corals. Anyways the tank came with a wet dry filter and lots of powerheads. Could I do a coral tank with just this and no protein skimmer? Because I'm trying to make one and it's not working out so well!
