What media besides bioballs can be used in filter for a pond? I have an Eheim canister with no media. The pump is in the pond with a hose to the filter. It's make shift until I can get a better filter. Thanks, Mark

Just got back from the movie. Wasn't bad and stuck to the true story line fairly well. Now if I can convince my wife to let display some the Silver Surfer figures that would be great. She isn't as understanding as Brian's wife. Lucky guy. Mark

Is the alkalinity of my water to high? It's measuring at 300ppm. Is this why my Xenia seems to be disintegrating? How do i reduce it if it's to high? PH is 8.5. Thanks, Mark

I am having trouble uploading images. Is anyone else having this problem? I get two different messages: Page Cannot be Displayed and a blank screen that says done at the bottom left. No pics are in my gallery.

I have a 55 gallon tank that used to have a canister filter. This past weekend I removed the canister and installed a hang-on fuge. I used the ceramic from the canister, some live rock and cheato in the fuge and placed an incandescent light over it. There is no sand in the fuge as I have about...

I have a 48" Odyssea Power Compact light with daylights, actinic and moon lights. Each light is on a separate switch but only one plug. The day lights trigger the fans when turned on. There are two fans on the right and one is making noise and slowing down. The other seems fine. Can I replace...

Pics of my 55 reef.

Just noticed these yellow/green worm like things in the tank. Counted four so far. With the actinic on they disappeared into the sand. What are they and should I be concerned? Sorry for the bad pics. Thanks Mark

Can you make a sump with 2 baffles? Would it be as affective ? Reason why I ask is that I acquired a plastic container that would fit under my tank. Dimensions are 11"x11"x8" which I figure is about 4.2 gallons of water. If I use 3 baffles I don't think the return would pump fit. Deciding if I...

Lately it appears my canister is getting air in somewhere. The spray bar is sending out many tint bubbles. It happens every 30min or so. Makes the tank look cloudy. I tried taking the filter down and setting up again no luck. I also shook it to get air out of it still no change. Anyone know why...

This store is located near Sesame Place. They sell everything its not just fish. was there before and the prices and live stock was always reasonable. Never bought anything because I never went directly home. Well passed by there weekend and stopped in. They removed some of the salt tanks and...

Was there this weekend. Tanks looked pretty bad and fish names posted on te tanks were not correct. Example: Sign posted said Scooter blenny $29.99 but the tank actually housed a Lawn Mower blenny. Seemed pricey on his inverts as well.

I was considering purchasing a sump for my 55gal but the inside stand measurements is about 10" front to back. I haven't found anything this narrow searching on-line. Would a refugium be an alternative? I was looikng at the "PRO 18 Hang On Refugium". I want to can my canister on the marine tank...

I have several small pieces of coral that just keep flying around the tank. Only one hobby store by me that I am aware of they don't have "cyanoacrylate glue". I even tried Micheals with no luck. Is there anything else I can use? Also, would work for a mushroom about the size of a half dollar...

I currently have a Rena Filstart XP3 filtering my 55 gal with a Prizm skimmer and a power head for water movement. The canister is setup with both mechnical and bilogical meduia. Some one just gave me another XP3. I was considering making the one on my tank strictly biological and making the new...

Does anyone know how I can cut some live rock? I have a few pieces with some polyps on them and thought about cutting the rock into smaller pieces. So I could move them up near the light or sell or trade. I thought a hack saw might be best.
