I maintain a 20G at the moment and recenlty got a decent deal on a Reef Devil protein skimmer. Has anyone used it in an out-of-sump installation ? Any feedbacks about the skimmer ? This summer I hope to be able to convert the 20G into a sump/frag tank and the 40G above to my main tank. In such...

I am very new to the reef keeping world. So I make it a point to pore through the Net most of my evenings reading about the intriguing creatures and about the ways of preventing my steady stream of outflowing cash to culminate into an ammonia/phosphate rich, nutrient deficient tub of salt water...

I was thinking of planting some mangroves in my CPR Fuge Medium, and was researching on mud substrates and here were some of the options I cam up with: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_hg?url=search-alias%3Dgarden&field-keywords=aquarium+mud+&x=0&y=0 For or against opinions on the above above...

I am thinking of getting a Mighty Mite along with an Inline DI unit. It seems reasonable enough, especially if I upgrade to a 40 G tank this summer and owing to the fact that it comes with faucet adapters to connect/disconnect form my kitchen sink. Its cost about $120 from the website, could...

For my 20G, 3 week old tank, I got hold of a CPR medium refugium some days back. It has a Rio 4HF Hyperflow Pump rated at 260 gph and will shortly getting have an 18W 50-50 light. http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=16278.msg149951#msg149951 My aim is to...

I was thinking of using two analog timers (with multiple receptacles) Timer 1: Power head, 10K bulb, 2 4hr cycles, 1 2hr cycle Timer 2: 6:30AM - 10:30 AM, 2 4hr cycles, 1 2 hour cycle 30 minute overlap, 4 hours of complete silence. ( I might get a weaker powerhead and LED strip for this...

I have read about people favouring the skimmer over the refugium, but I always seem to side a more natural option if it's viable. I have 20L that I would like to keep softies for now, and may be SPS/LPS after I am adequately proficient in not messing up my setup.Please advise for/against my...

http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=16750 Anyone ever had any expereince with this product line? It's difficult to find a review. I saw an advert of someone selling it for $100, and was wondering if it was worth a shot. Please provide your opinion.

Saw this ebay post. Seemed like a awesome deal. Read some more about the company online, and found that it is an Asian company, as opposed to Current USA, that apparently has some European connection. Would anyone have an opinion on the company, the products and the customer service...

I just set up my first tank, a 20G nano that is in its second week of cycling. My salinity,temp, pH are OK, but ammonia is around 0.5ppm and nitrates are around 10 (mg/L?). I do not have a power head and have 2 35watt CFL spiral bulbls. I have a cluster of red mushrooms on my live rock, which...

After 3 yrs of 3 aquariums in fresh water, I have decided to try my hand in Saltwater. My 20G became available and that's where I have setup shop and I have tonnes of newbie questions. But first I would want to ask if something needs to be done to my setup. Equipment Tank Size: 20 Gallon Age...
