Once again I need your help. I have lots of bubbles showing up in the display tank. Below is the image of my fuge & sump: There are at least three potential areas were bubbles are getting created. First in the fuge where the water enters (circled in the picture). I am not sure if these...

Alright, I give up. How can add an avatar to my profile?

Somewhere I read that the most stupid question is the one that is not asked. So here we go: Should I cycle a fuge before introducing it to the system? When I added a new sump I assumed since it is really a big water change, I made sure the salinity & temperature matched that of the display...

I finally (once again) hooked up the display tank to the basement sump. No leaks to be found which was a big relief. I ran the pump for about an hour last night and it kicked up a wind storm in my display tank. Apparently there is lots of flow coming to the tank. I thought I'll turn off the pump...

I want to buy sand, some live and some non-live for my refugium. What is the cheapest sand that I can get? Has anyone tried the sand that they sell in Ebay for a buck or two shipped?

I hooked up the display tank to the basement sump and ran the pump briefly. I got tonnes of micro bubbles in the display tank. I also noticed leaks in two spots in the plumbing. One was near the pump where I had put some teflon tape earlier. The other one was by the thread near the flexible...

Changing 20% of water twice a month is usually recommended, but how often do you really do it? I am planning to automate the process, so pl. help me decide.

I have a reefready Oceanic 72 gallon bowfront. How do I calculate what is the overflow rate on this tank?

I am moving my sump to the basement. The outlet from the sump is 3/4". The pump that I have is a GenX 70hp. This has an inlet of 1" and outlet of 3/4". Is it okay to put a converter between sump and the pump to cut down the size? Will it affect the performance of the pump?

I am planning to buy clear cell cast acrylic from mcmaster.com based on a suggestion by a fellow reefer. A 1/4" acrylic sized 48"X24" costs $87 from this website. I am planning to build a sump and is this the material should I use? Your input is appreciated. Thanks.

I have ordered a sea cucumber from Reeftopia which advertises them as 'a good kind'. I have been browsing some articles that describe horror stories about having a cucumber in a home aquarium. Has anyone bought a sea cucumber from reeftopia? Could you share your insight on cucumber generally...
