IMO you should always buy a skimmer that is oversized for the tank it will be used on. This will avoid the need to upgrade (unless its a significantly larger upgrade) to a bigger more powerful skimmer at a later date thanks Harry

if they sort of look like little comma's then they are definitely amphipods. great free food for your fish

ok thanks for clarifying. I thought it was all attached to the live rock. thanks Harry

where the corals shipped attached to the live rock you purchased? and also was it in water? If not most of the organic life i.e. corals, anemone will most likely die if not shipped in water. I'm surprised they would ship the rock with all that stuff on it. Maybe the rules within the USA are...

Without actually witnessing the lobster attacking the shrimp it is hard to tell, but from what i have read and understand, Reef lobsters are reef safe to a point but they are opportunistic and can and will sometimes attack something smaller then them. Harry

i agree with all that was said above. when it finds a spot it likes, it will stay put, but then again it could move again. harry

First let me clarify a few things. I posted the experience that I had with AFY. Mine happened to not be that great. I am well aware that others have had great experiences, but that can be said about any company or product. I dropped off my sump on 3/15 so a new one can be built with a correct...

not sure about the ones your refering too. But i have a 215 and i purchased the Blueline 70D. It is pretty quiet from everything i have read. I will find out as soon as i hook it up Harry

I agree, MRC makes an excellent external skimmer and that would be my choice if i was using an external, if you decide on an internal i would recommend an ASM or a euroreef. but it all comes down to personal preference Harry

I like to thank everyone who stopped by yesterday to help move my tank into place. I really apprecaited it. Unfortunately i can't due much else because i'm waiting for my sump to be rebuilt. The company i ordered it from made the skimmer section too small. So now it's another month plus of...

would definitely depend on the size of your tank. Thanks Harry

I responded to everyone with a PM. once again thanks to all and i look forward to meeting everyone. Thanks Harry

ok so 2PM on saturday looks like the time. Let me know who can make it and i will PM my address to them. I really appreciate all the help. Thanks Harry

I don't know if you should technically feed the refugium. Depending on how many drain lines you have coming in from your display, just let one of them dump into the refugium so it will get all the nutrients from the "dirty water" and the rest of your drain lines can go to your protein skimmer...

Wow really? is it spaflex or flexible PVC. I will go check it out tomorrow Thanks Harry

Hello all, Anyone know where i can buy flexible PVC locally? If not i have to order it online and if someone can recommend a retailer that would be great. I would prefer to buy it locally though. Thanks Harry

I was hoping to get it done around 1 or 2 PM on saturday. I will go with whatever time is good for everyone. I appreciate all the help. Thanks Harry

Hell all, Well i'm finally ready to move my new tank into place and really start the build. My current tank is in the current location so i have to pretty much empty that one out and then move the new tank into place. My new tank only has to move from one side of my foyer to the other. No...

cover the top with some egg crate. that should stop all the jumping

They also grow like a weed in my tank also. I have a fairly large rock that is covered in them.
