Can you make a sump with 2 baffles? Would it be as affective ? Reason why I ask is that I acquired a plastic container that would fit under my tank. Dimensions are 11"x11"x8" which I figure is about 4.2 gallons of water. If I use 3 baffles I don't think the return would pump fit. Deciding if I...

Thanks for the info. But I think I am missing a piece. The tube and spray bar are only down about 2.5" that is a far as I can get it. I must be missing some type of extension.

It is a Rena Filstar XP3. Can any surface skimmer work? I have the bar as low as it can go. I would have to locate extra pieces to make it lower.

Lately it appears my canister is getting air in somewhere. The spray bar is sending out many tint bubbles. It happens every 30min or so. Makes the tank look cloudy. I tried taking the filter down and setting up again no luck. I also shook it to get air out of it still no change. Anyone know why...

This store is located near Sesame Place. They sell everything its not just fish. was there before and the prices and live stock was always reasonable. Never bought anything because I never went directly home. Well passed by there weekend and stopped in. They removed some of the salt tanks and...

Was there this weekend. Tanks looked pretty bad and fish names posted on te tanks were not correct. Example: Sign posted said Scooter blenny $29.99 but the tank actually housed a Lawn Mower blenny. Seemed pricey on his inverts as well.

I'm thinking of joining but would like to attend a meeting first if that's okay. I would like to try and make Jan but depends on work schedule. LMK Mark

Agree. was there today also and picke dup a shrimp. Most informative and very helpful. Even searched the web on their computer for me trying to find an upgrade kit for my skimmer.

Okay. Just placed some phosphate absorbing pads in my canister and replaced a bulb. Originaly had a Coral life 420 50/50 actinic with a normal flourescent. The ACT is 2 months old and the other over 6 months. Now both bilbs are the coral life actinic. I noticed that the lighting looks purplish...

Actually, just found this one; its 9" wide so will fit. Is anyone familiar with the cyclone Biofilter? http://www.cpraquatic.com/products/cyclone.html edit:  fixed url link

Appreciate the reply but the width of the stand is to narrow. Your sump is 12" wide and my stand is 10" wide.

I was considering purchasing a sump for my 55gal but the inside stand measurements is about 10" front to back. I haven't found anything this narrow searching on-line. Would a refugium be an alternative? I was looikng at the "PRO 18 Hang On Refugium". I want to can my canister on the marine tank...

Re: Frag glue done Just glued the Kenya trees and so far so good. Also, glued a small mat of start polyps to stay in place. All clral was fixed to small pieces of broken bleached coral rubble I had lying around. Thanks to all for the input.

Just bought some Scotch brand super glue gel. Will probably try attching them tonight.

Momof6kids, Are they there all year? If I tried catching some now think I could?

Thanks for the info. The shroom does have some rubble so should be easy to glue.

If I use any type of super glue won't it kill the fish in my tank?

I have several small pieces of coral that just keep flying around the tank. Only one hobby store by me that I am aware of they don't have "cyanoacrylate glue". I even tried Micheals with no luck. Is there anything else I can use? Also, would work for a mushroom about the size of a half dollar...

They look great... What part of Shark River were you in? I only live about 30min drive from there and never you could find them there.

Thanks. But wouldn't I need more live rock to have an effecient biologocal filter? If I did do this how often would I need to replace the carbon and phosphate absorbing media? I have heard that phosphate absorbing media only works for a vey brief time, less than a month.
