I only have a cheapo CPR BakPak 2 right now. I am thinking of upgrading to a new skimmer. The system is about 75 gallon. What in-sump skimmer would be recommended? Thanks.

just recieved my Typhoon III RO DI unit. This is my first RO DI, and I am stoked!!! However, I would like to hook it up directly to a faucet in my upstairs bathroom, (just because that bathroom never gets used) but it did not come with an adapter. I am werry about ordering on off of the net...

I don't know much about T5. What set-up would you recommend for my 50gal.....it is 30" long x 18" wide to give you an idea of the space that I have to work with. I need to know how many bulbs, and exactly what bulbs, as I think there are many different types. Links would be cool. I am looking...

I have been out of the loop for awhile. From what I am seeing, T5 is the way to go. I would like if someone could tell me why or how these are better than power compact, MH etc... and what I need to know when I go to buy some....ie how to know how many, or how many watts I need etc... Thanks a...

A few months ago, a mean mean lady by the name of Katrina came and killed all of my fish, and inverts. Lucky for me she left my house alone. My tank is still up and running, but all live is gone with the exception of a few nassirus snails, and maybe whatever life is left on my rocks. I am in...

Anyone ever order from www.petsolutions.com ? They seem to have a nice selection of live rock. I would like to get some more, but I think regular Fiji is kind of boaring. Everyone and their brother has it. Here is the link to the live rock...

My tank is 50 gallons which measures 18" wide, and 20" deep. I currently have 2x 65w power compact unit. I would like to add another power compact light due to the width of the tank but I don't know if it is wide enough to fit another 2 bulb unit. My question is.... With another 2 bulb unit I...

What about a Seio M620 and a Maxi Jet 900 pointed directly at each other from opposite ends of the tank?

I have a 50gal tank. It measures 30" long, 18" wide, and 20" tall. I have an Aqua clear 30, (160gph)and Maxi Jet 600 (160gph) in there right now. I am thinking about replaceing the Aqua clear with a Maxi Jet 1200(295pgh), and adding ANOTHER 1200, so I would have 2 Maxi Jet 1200s, and a 600. The...

I have been thinking about getting a canister filter, with pleated polishing filter. I was thinking of running this for just a few hours a week to "polish" the water. 1. Is this a good idea? 2. What is a good cheap (if there is such a thing) one to get? Thank you for the tips!!!!

Thank you both for your help, but I am still kind of lost. Here is what I guess I am looking for.........mine are fully submerged. Will they be a source of nitrates for me? Thanks again Brian

Lando, when they are fully under water, do they still act as bio filtration without creating massive nitrates?

I know that bio balls will act as a nitrate factory. My question is....will they still mass produce nitrate when they are fully submerged? I THINK they produce nitrates due to the wet/dry concept and the interaction with the air. I have bio balls in my sump right before my refug, but they are...

My tank is a 50gal. It is 20" tall and I have a power compact fixture that has two bulbs. One is a 10k and the other is actinic. Each is 65 watts. What types of corals will I be able to keep. The most frustrating thing to me about this, is that the tank is 18" wide, which I think is GREAT, one...

Will a Royal Gramma be comataible with a Fire fish???

Anyone use purple up? Recommend it, or no? Are there side effects that I should look for? My tank has been up now for 7 months, and I have minimal if any coraline growth. Just about the only coraline I have is what came on my rock. Any other tips would be great. Thanks!!!

help anyone ???

I guess the biggest thing that I am worried about is I have a firefish, and a orange spotted goby. My tank is 50gal. It is the same dimensions as a 40gal breeder, but taller. The goby dug a burrow under a rock, and both the firefish and goby live in there. However, there is only oneway in, and...

I bought an emrald crab today. I thought that I did my research, but now I am reading some disturbing thigs about this little crab. Should I be worried? Are they more benifitial than harmful? Any tips, or stories would be great. Thanks

I would like to re-aquscape my tank, but I have several great large feather dusters. These seem to have their "foot" stuck very well into rock crevasses. How do I go about moving them safely? Thanks for the help!!!

what is their temperment like?

It looks like the like that Fluff posted, but more red than pink.

My LFS has a small crab that is somewhat similar in size and shape of a Emerald Crab, but it is red. I would like some info on this crab before I buy it. Any tips or help would be great. Thanks.
