    Brown Algae

    It is a very good theory and you are correct, I have been much more diligent with water changes with this new, smaller tank then when I was running the 125gl, also when I believed a problem was happening, I increased the WC wich may have fueled the algae even more! I will hold WC this week and...

    Brown Algae

    Interesting about the salt since it is the one I use but have been using the same one since I started and never had an issue with it. I'll hold back WC this week abd see what happens! I have wsitched to RO water and am happy to report that the algae is subsiding so maybe that was the problem...

    Brown Algae

    Hello everyone, need some imput here. I am starting to get some brown algae in my tank, never had this issue before and I think it has to do with the water supply in Edison and the amount of rain we have been getting. I do not use RO but have started topping off with RO and did my first water...

    Filtration in overflow boxes

    I don't export water at all, I do have a remora skimmer and have carbon in the return, I also have a DIY refugium using an AC with chaeto in it, that's all for my 75gal. For actual nutrient export I do water changes, at least 10gal, once or twice a week. Works for me. I like the simplicity of...

    Any sumpless setup out there?

    same here, no sump on my 75gal, just enough agitation caused by the pumps and skimmer, no issues with gung. I do have a surface skimer adapter for the Aqua Clear filters just like the one in the picture you can have for free if you want, just let me know. Rod

    I understand, I am not involved in any way other then using the forum for advice and fun, just like here in my New Jersey home, so I don't know any of the history involved, it would be better to end it there I guess. I wish the new forum all the best and will gladly join if I am welcomed, I...

    Comon Rod, You have to be kidding. If you are not in the "click" on that club forget about it!!!!!!!! I can only speak from my experience but I see where you are coming from since I have read some of the discussions, etc. I just don't believe that it is appropriate to promote one's own...

For whatever it's worth i...

    Salt mix

    I use it and have had no problems for over two years in a mixed reef tank, params are stable and I do no supplementing, I do change 5gal of water twice a week on my 75gal tank, I also do not use RO water as they recomend so I cannot vouch for that use. Here is a link to a salt water discussion...

    What store to visit on Monday?

    Ok so I went to Tropiquarium and it is indeed a nice store but to my view, expensive. They ahave some less expensive frags but nothing that made me want to open my wallet, also the dry goods selection was very high priced, again to my point of view. Stopped by AO on my way back and ended up...
