I wasnt saying use an actually QT or refugium... i was saying you can use container like an QT or Reguium.... This is what my buddy has... CPR CITR In-Tank Refugium it worked out great to get the clown and nem to host... very short time too.

I've never heard of "The Planted Aquarium Store" nor been there... but then again, I dont do fresh water... do they have any salt stuff?? Might want to swing by to see what they have...

I'm in Fort Lauderdale.... Its sad... it doesnt get any more south then Broward/Dade/Monroe... yet... we're not part of the south! LOL

Well, thats why you have the "QT/refugium" inside the tank... no change in light, no change in anything, really! :)

I have a friend that placed the clown and nem in a in take refugium/QT kind of set up. They hosted pretty quickly, then were moved back into the tank. Just an idea :)

I have a canister, I am regretting it. I will be eventually switching over to a sump/refugium. I have read from a lot of people saying that the canister filters are huge nitrate factories, but if you clean them frequently, you'll be OK. I thoroughly clean mine every 2 weeks, and still have some...

everyone I know that has a refugium has that kind of set up. but they dont usually use bioballs. I dont think it would be an issue though.

I had about 5 of them come in on my live rock... they reproduce fast... I'm up to about 20 now in 4 months.

Interesting thought... I have a lot of people tell me that canister filters are Nitrate factories.... Id rather have a refugium with some macro to help me, then have something that is producing it....

Hey guys... Well I know several of you have sump/refugiums. I have been tossing around the idea of adding one to the 30 gallon, but wasnt sure if that was a bit to much... Ideally, I'd like to remove my canister filter, but not sure if it would be worth it with a small tank (30gal). What would...

I feed pellets mostly. Frozen food every other Sunday because I had heard the same thing about them being a major cause of outbreaks. As far as my protein skimmer. I usually empty it every water change... Its usualy almost to the over flow valve. sometime it will overflow. Its an Aqua C...

Im looking at a CUC now... might go with Reefcleaners.org and get a package from them....

it looks like a type of leather, but the shot is a bad angle... and what color was it orginally? I think you said light brown... Im thinking leather

I would say too much lighting... is it possible to move it to a deeper and more covered area?

The lights are about 3 months ago. I started the tank on May 1, with all new equipment. The only things I can really attribute to it are the filter and possibly over feeding... which, that could be the problem, but with the two shrimp, they're pretty aggressive at feeding time, and done ever...

its possible that they were over fed while I was gone, however, ive been back for well over a month, and now I'm having a 2nd outbreak. I am using RODI water, I mix it myself with IO Reef Crystals. See, I was figuring it was a nitrate problem because of the use of my canister filter....

I forgot to mention, I have a 250 GPH power head (on the left pointing in), along with a 350 GPH on the right side also pointing inward. They have been there since day one.

First off, hello again! I know I have been MIA, but the summer months are the season for the industry I am in. so its been a little bit of a crazy summer... Good news is, as kids head back to school, my job starts to slow down! anyhow, I was on vacation in July and when i returned home after...

Joey, My cover is clear, I dont notice any kind of "cut down" at all...

I would add one just in case! I have a T5 on my tank with a guard, AND the tank has a glass canopy, and some how, I still see splash marks on the splash guard! I'd be safe rather then sorry!

I believe inverts do not add to your bio load. so you should be ok! are you having any issues with your chromis and ocerlaris getting along? I had a OC, and a chromis and they fought all the time, had to give the chromis to a friend

So I have this AquaC Remora that has been running for about a month. After letting it run for the first week, every 2 days I'd clean it and move the catch tray further down. well now, its as far down as it goes, and I have left it like that for the last 2 weeks. My question is, what is the...

Well the unit leaks!!! Not good!!! I've just contacted Dr Smith and Fosters as well as Reef Gently... we'll see how this goes!:rolleyes:

I haven't used it yet, but it seems pretty intimidating at first. Every one of the reviews I've read say its very easy to use... BUT, has anyone here actually used one yet??? I'm curious to see if my LFS is going to look at me weird when I walk in with it, and expect them to fill it up with...

from my experience, and from what I was told, break in is going to naturally happen. What was suggested to me was to use hot water, and to clean the inside of the skimmer as best as you can, before letting it run. This helps removed some of the "factory" junk from the skimmer such as oils and...
