Phil, No. The skimmer sits in the sump and is rated for 200 or 250 gallon tank max. It didn't come with a pump but I placed a mag 5 as the customer rep told not to get anything smaller than a 500g/hr pump. The return pump is rated 600g/hr.

Fish: flame angel, keyhole angel, coral beauty, 2 perc clown fish, yellow damsel, purple tang, engineer goby, bi-color blenny and lawn mower blenny. I am afraid if I cut back they will pick at the corals.

Build a trap. I used egg crate and string. Caught my flame angel in 2 days.

Maybe I should test before mixing and then after to see what the readings are. Thanks everyone.

Anyone ever use this http://www.petsolutions.com/Fluval-Lab-Series-Nitrate-Remover+I15511502.aspxor http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/10685/product.web?

I use Instant Ocean which I purchased from AO.

I have a old Berlin Classic venturi skimmer in the center chamber of the sump. I took the first chamber and used egg crate to section it off diagonally. The closer chamber is where the filter sock is and the chamber in the back is where I have cheato. I placed a light across the cheato...

75 gallon RR with 30 gallon sump.

What can I do to keep my nitrates down? I feed two frozen cubes a day and there is an auto feeder that dumps seaweed flakes twice a day, small amount. I perform a 15 gallon water change monthly. All other params are in check: Nitrate - 50/60 salinity - 1.027 PH - 8.0 Nitrite - 0 Ammonia - 0 Alk...

I have a 10g for $5.

The leather didn't survive. It falling apart in pieces.

With the tangs try feeding some Nori.

Not if you put them in my tank. Instant death alog with most others... ;)

Well, I held the YT in front of the pump and a bubch of brown flakey stuff flew out. Not sure if it's shedding or something else. I then placed it higher on the rock to be close to the light and it still will get much flow.

Matt, Thanks for the input. The spot it is in now had a bunch of Xenia before so I jknow the flow is very good where it is. I have a 36" light fixture that has 2 175w MH and 2 VHO's. Mark

Thanks for the info. The water flow there is very strong but I moved it any way. It has collapsed even more. I did a water change as the SG was 1.030, no idea how that happened. I got it down to 1.026. I may need to wear my glasses when testing. Also the Nitrate was 50ppm and now it is 30ppm.

Added a yellow toadstool on Friday and it was doing well in my tank. The past 2 days it is collapsing upon itself but the polyps seem to be out. It is also more yellow than when first put in. Should I be concerned? Here is a pic. Mark

My neighbor is very interested. PM me your info and I will pass it along. He has a black shepherd and wants a friend for it. Mark

I have two Koralia 3 pumps in my 75g plus the return. I like the flow now very much. Initially had two Koralia 4 pumps but was way to much for the softies and frogspawn.

I'm not sure but I think the deeper the sand the bed the closer the coral will be to the light. A 4" sand bed would bring everything closer compared to a 1/2" sand bed or bare bottom.
