I understand the setting is a base and i used it as a base setting and was fine for weeks then all of a sudden there where temp swings from 79-83 all the time no pattern. Lights on or off. Thought it was the pumps. Took out the heater and now i have a steady 79 degrees.

I understand what you are saying but the heater has a temp dial and its off by 11 degrees so i need to compensate for that? or just don't go by the dial ? My 200 watt is dead on the temp i set it at. So why put the numbers there if they don't mean anything.

Just to update. My clown did not have ICh or anything after spending about a week and a half in quarantine all the mark i saw near his tail was gone after the first day. He has been back in the main tank for over a week all seems well. Thanks to all who responded.

Well I found out yesterday part of my hear problem. I have 2 heaters one 200watt i keep in the overflow box and one 100 watt i keep in the wet dry. It seems the one in the wet dry is not calibrated corectly i have it set for 76-77 degrees and when i put my hand in the wetdry to check the rio...

yes the eheim is mounted to the skimmer body. I have 2 rio's in my wet dry. one is a smaller one that feeds the skimmer and a large one thats feeds the tank its a model 2500 the room temp is 70-72 degrees

the unit is designed for 180 gallon tank. The people at euro reef had me set it up to discharge 2 times the capacity per hour . So i meaured the discharge rate into a quart container and have it set for 140 gal per hour. If that makes sense

can you suggest a size pump for myy 72 gal bowfront it is rr. What size pentair. Also what size pump would i need for my skimmer that also is a rio in the wetdry. It feed a euro reef rc180. Thanks Chuck

How much heat do yoou think 2 rio pumps in my wet dry will create? I have one main pump feeding the tank and one feeding the skimmer. The skimmer is a externa euro reeef with a eheim pump. I have 2 korillia 3 powerheads. I cant seem to get the temp below 80-81 even with heater and lights off...

Thanks for that info. Now onto the next question. If you where to buy a fish from someone who has had it in there sysstem for years and you know it has not been a problem would you still QT for 4 weeks? Do you always QT reguardless of source?

are you saying he could go back now or would you wait? I am not sure what you are saying

UPDATE Well my clownfish has been in qt for 3 days now and the mark that i saw on its tail is basicly non existant anymore . The fish has been eating and seems fine. How long would you keep in qt if there are no signs on anything on its bosy? I am guessing it must have been physical damage...

clown is about 3 1/2 inches

Drat I hope thats not the case when they did show themselves in the front there where several occasions that i did have to right them. I guess i have to search them out and move each rock peice by peice. So is it safe to say turbos and rockwork dont mix?

Thank you I like that honesty and advise !!

What can you tell me about salt? I have been using instant ocean. I have a mixed reef and am a newbie.

The emerald is a big one about 1 1/2" accross carapace.

Speaking of snails I have 2 turbo snails in my tank that i have not seen in a few days they have to be somewhere behind the liverock that i cant see. there are no shells on the bottom. Do they usually hide ?

He just started feeding in the qt tank he was not happy being cooped up in there I added a few pvc pipes. Also I did not think of it but i had a emerlad crab that was in the rock right next to the anenome the clown was hosting. I did see it take a few wacks at the clown a while back. I took the...

Being new to the hobby i have many questions. I recently became a member of this club and have joined in on the group invert buy. Is it the same practice to quarantine the inverts as the fish? Do you also quarantine your corals?
