I just purchased this 120g skimmer for my tank. I have a very limited amount of space in my sump and no room for a hob skimmer. My question - has anyone else installed one of these? I cannot get it to function correctly (or my perception of correctly) I have adjusted the water lever and it...

I'm losing about 1" of water from my sump daily. Is this normal? Is there anyway to slow down the water loss?

I have a 45g tank with T5 lighting. Ph 8, Salinity 1.024, nitrites 0, nitrates 0, amonia 0. Checked Mg, Ca, KH for the first time yesterday, I don't remember the numbers but all were in range with the acception of the Mg, it was low. How do I raise it up? Also, my toadstool leather I have...

I had two new appearances this weekend. I think they are baby starfish but I'm not sure on the white one. Any ideas?

I've been treating three of my fish for ich for a week now. They are eating great and looking great except for my sail fin tang. He is eating great and no longer looks like he has any ich on him but his fins are doing something funny. In posting the best pictures I can get of him with my phone...

I acquired an Asfur Angelfish (Arabian) that originates from the Red Sea. I have a 45 gallon tank now but he was in a 125 gallon. I am in the process of putting the 125 up. I have had him about a week. Originally he was shy and hiding in all of my rock . Now he paces the tank constantly. I know...

I got 3 Hiawian feather dusters today. Will my peppermint shrimp eat them? Also can you have peppermint shrimp and cleaner shrimp in the same tank?

I am pretty excited. I ran across a good deal on a 125 gallon reef ready tank, cabinet, wet/dry sump, sand, rock and even an Asfur Angelfish. My dilemma, is I don't want to use bio balls. I would like to get rid of them but I do like the idea of a refugium for macro algae and copepod...

Ok, first let me say "I was told so". I have had a 55g Cichlid tank for years. Back in January I decided I wanted to delve into SW because tanks are just so darn addicting. I got a great deal on a 45g with stand so I jumped on it. It's been up and running since January. This is what I...

Why does my red emerald crab stay right next to my anemone? It looks like he is picking at him at times. My anemone has been doing really well for the last month or so. He finally came out of the cave he had been hiding in and the clowns have been hosting non stop. He has been really full...

Some pics of our tank. Not happy with the rock. Any suggestions anyone?

willing to pick up and take apart. Has to be near the Columbus/Ft Benning GA area. 100 - 150 mile range is good.

I have a 55g cichlid tank I've had up and running for about 8 months now. I have about 25 various cichlids in it mostly african with 3 bachardi. Two questions I would like advice on. I am in a constant battle with brown algea. We do a 10% water change weekly and all the parameters are good...

Ok, to make a long story short, I have a 45g tall, 3 month old tank. I have 4 clown fish and one anemene. Cleanup crew of 4 pepperment shrimp, 3 hermit crabs, and a red crab. I also have 2 sea urchins and 32lbs of live rock as well as base rock. I have one 1300gph power head, an Emperor 400...

He was all perky and waving when I left the room ad when I came back a few minutes later he was all folded in. Before After New to anemones.

And why has he flattened out on me? What should I be feeding it and what are the best lights and salinity for it. Salinity is at 1.024 now but stock fluorescent lights. Only had two days. Could it still be acclimating? I don't want to lose him.

Found it in my aquarium this morning. Must have been in the live rock?

45g, FOWLR, HOB filter and protein skimmer. 3 hermit crabs, 5 peppermint shrimp, lone crab of some kind, 2 sea urchins, 2 clown fish, one bubble tip anemone ( I think) and only one aptasia left yay! From start to now because you know it's never finished, it's always evolving.

45g sw, standard fluorescent lights, 32 lbs of live rock, 13 lbs dry rock, 60 lbs live sand, Emperor 400 hob, 200w heater, no protein skimmer yet, used RO water to mix salt, salinity is at 1.023. 2 weeks into the cycle today. Question. What is the best way to cycle the tank? I've read several...

Just to clarify the above, we are not completely new to tanks, just salt water. Having said that we are looking for advice on new set up. We have a new 45 gallon tank that I want to make into a sw maybe swfowlr. I am looking for suggestions on the best setup. I don't have any filtration yet but...
