    What skimmer for a 120 with a 40 breeder sump?

    I asked the same question - I specifically asked about the ATI Bubble master and the mini-BKs. It's interesting that in his response to you - only the "octopus extreme" showed up again. I wonder if they are getting incented to push those skimmers. Mott768 placed a negative review on the extreme...

    Hawkeye's AGA 120

    Here's a pic to gross out everyone.... And after torturing me by hiding in the back of the tank, my jawfish finally found one of the barnacles I set up. This particular one has no PVC hiding spot underneath. I might add one of those later. The first one I put in is occupied by our firefish.

    March Meeting - Saturday the 28th in Little Silver, NJ

    junk - you missed my earlier post: It's not a store- but it's a cool little place where you can take a look at a 2,000 gallon reef tank managed by harlequinreef.

    what does "all kinds of food" mean? Are you dosing live phyto?

    featherduster out of its tube

    john - remove the dead parts. It's possible the worm can re-grow the crown. Are you feeding the duster? they need food to keep that crown.

    Tank Lights Going Bad Fast!

    how about just taking a cloth/sponge with vinegar/water and wiping down the fixture to see if it can still be used? Then i'd swap out the bulb that dimmed.

    getting rid of algae

    Any idea what your TDS is coming out of the RODI? Might help to know. Not to get into an argument over tap water users - but this may be a source of some of the nutrients in the tank. What kind of fish do you have in your 75?

    Cleaning Refugium

    Cyano in and of itself is not necessarily bad - it's bad in the display as it's ugly - but in the fug - you could argue it's doing it's job in absorbing nutrients. i shouldn't say this since I have one of those CPR's to sell - but what the heck. I think the pump is undersized for the fugs and...

    Display tank powerheads

    Ok - let me help with the numbering system.

    Here's my Big Office System

    Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax spoke to stan today - while he likes the rail for his frag tank - he doesn't recommend it for a full blown display. But hopefully he will chime in. btw those pics are amazing.

    Raskolnikov - Barrel Barron

    Met up with jesse a few weeks ago and picked up a dolley and a 55 gallon barrel. Great quality and nice guy to deal with. Make sure you do not stop at the Raccoon City Police Department on the way there (i jest). ;) Anyways - forgot to post up this plug for him.

    Anchor Worms

    i never heard of anchor worms in saltwater - but goes to show how limited my knowledge is in diseases. It's terrible but my experience with fish and disease is similar to how doctors used to treat horses and disease...(99% fatal). Maybe pm Dr Jim or post in his forum for suggestions? Also - i...

    Water Transfer Question

    i'd go the maxijet with 25' of 1/2" hose. If you can't find them at a LFS - DFS/TFP or any big online shop will have them relatively cheap. The alternative is to go pick up a set of wheels like the ones sold by the barrel guy in east brunswick (or was it north brunswick - i forget). $30. Then...

    feather duster splitting it's tube

    they are tough to keep without a bit of supplemental feeding. I know the shedding of the crown is not a good sign. I imagine if it pops out of the tube to also be a bad sign - but I have zero experience with feather dusters. Good luck.
