For the life of me, I can’t see how you could have stagnant water in a sump/refugium. Pictures would really help here. You’re running a mag 7 that, for the sake of discussion, let’s say is pushing 500 gph of water after head loss. That’s how much water is moving through your sump. Baffles only...

The majority of the surface area of the live rock is not on the surface of the rock. It is extremely porous, with the majority of the surface area internal to the rock. The bacteria are still flourishing within the rock. Even completely covered, that rock is still a churning bacterial factory.

One more point...you titled this "pool filter"...this is not a filter. It is a sanitizer to give it a name. It does not filter anything that I can tell. Note I did not read anything so I say this with what I surmise from the picture.

Wow, pretty neat concept. My guess is that this unit ionizes salt (NaCl) into sodium and chlorine. The chlorine then oxidizes the little nasties you have in your pool. Since ionized chlorine is highly reactive, this all occurs in the proximity of the electrode in the unit. Therefore, no free...

First off I really like the look of these tanks....they look awesome As far at the less rock-less detritus comment - isn’t this a catch 22 in that less rock also means less bacteria to breakdown this detritus.

I’ll answer your question if you answer mine: What makes a better peanut butter and jelly sandwich, strawberry or grape? A standard 75g is 20 inches deep. I really think it boils down to a couple factors and your personal preference to these factors. I’m sure some will chime in about their...

Use a photo hosting site.....I use www.photobucket.com Once loaded into the hosting site, simply copy and paste the link into your post and voilà, pictures in your post.

Two thoughts: Welcome to the club and sorry to hear the news. Unfortunately it has become an all too common practice in New Jersey. Can’t wait until this economy gets back on track. Best of luck finding your next career.

Re: LTB RBTA Folks, even though we are in the "members only" section of items for sale, we still would like to see the (CITY) included in the subject line of your post. Thanks.

Call me Mr. Gullible.

What the ........ Yea, that's great for the myopic one but what do you do when you invite your friends over to look at your tank?  Now you have to have special glasses for all the friends that come over. And one other thing...optical glass...that needs to be ground and cost mucho dollars...

Unfortunitely I have to work :(...unless it rains like crazy. Wish I could be there...sounds like there's going to be some nice frags.

My wife wears the pants......Does that make me the mother?

I think another possibility is light bleaching. Leaving the lights on when doing a water change could bleach out the coraline. Your comment in the OP of the bleaching being at the top to middle of the tank leads me to this conclusion. Check this link...

Greg, you’re deviating slightly from “the book.” You must treat yourself while you are treating the zoos. This is called the “dip and sip” method of treatment. To elaborate, you dip a frag, you sip a little beer, you dip a frag, you sip a little beer. I think you get the gist of the dip and sip...

Home Depot and Lowe's actually do carry plastic stuff...in the hardware section in the big draws. I think they might actually be teflon nuts, bolts and other stuff. When we had the external overflow, one of the leveling screws broke and I replaced it with one purchase at one of the above stores.

From mommipods of course! ;D If you didn't add them then they came as a hitchhiker from live rock or corals that you added to your tank.
