in my opinion (and I am not an expert or used RODI extensively till now) the typhoon 3 is bulky. I just went to measure it - it's 21" wide, 6" front to back, and 15" tall. That stated, it's not like you have to lug the thing out everytime you want water. Just use the tubes provided and hook it...

They are hermaphrodites. Refer to shrimp as "it" or i guess he/she. They cannot self fertilize but if you have two - then one or the other will always be gravid with eggs.

I know people will say why even bother getting a serpent star if you have to feed it - but this is the way I see it - I feed lightly. I do not have piggy fish that poop a lot and I do not have a lot of uneaten food that gets to the sand in a hurry. This means my big serpent star (the body is...

Actually - nothing is a better med than this: ;D seriously though I agree with calaxa - cleaner wrasse have no business being in our tanks - let alone having any chance of tearing fish tissue off to get at a burrowing parasite. That applies also to neon goby/cleaner shrimp - while those are...

i have to ask the obvious question since someone else just had this- but you don't have a GREEN brittle star right? Also - big (regardless of color) ones do require some supplemental feeding. I know it's popular among nano tank owners to put rubble in one of the chambers - but I don't get the...

depends on the set up - but if that is the only heater for the tank - if the fug pump fails - the display tank would not have any heat. Also the heater is more efficient with water flowing around it - in the refugium - i have to imagine the flow is slower than in the display.

Ophiarachna incrassata Hmmm - maybe we should sticky that somewhere for new folks to realize not to purchase them. I've not heard of any sponsors selling them - though I could be mistaken. I'd imagine if it is big enough to eat a mandarin -then it's decent sized - and I'd imagine you don't...

is the fish showing signs of ich? if not I don't really get why you'd want to dose meds on a healthy fish? That stated - here's some good reading on ich:

Re: Brian's 225g Monstrosity! could it be Caulerpa nummularia ?

Posted this in the members only forum but some folks suggested that this also be posted here. The banggai cardinalfish in the wild has declined significantly. This post is to encourage all members and nonmembers to consider NOT buying this fish unless they can be assured the fish was...

i use the same RODI inqy uses. the ones on ebay should be fine - I think that particular design - i read somewhere (someone far more wiser than me) that the 4th stage being horizontal like that - means it actually has a smaller volume/capacity. I dunno - I'm probably spreading bad internet...

It looks like you have some room on the left - and even on the right. Is it possible to shift the sump over? I was thinking if you shift the sump over, you could set up an ATO and connect it to a small 5 gallon salt container and place it next to the sump. This would resolve the issue with the...

rent bill's tang for a month every year. ;)

If you click on the vendor forum area here: http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&action=collapse;c=5;sa=collapse;#5 there's list of the sponsors that have forums on our board. Those with actual store fronts will have a sticky. Those that don't - you'll need to...

The whole idea with a pre-drilled tank is so that you can run a set up with a sump. A sump is just a pool of water where you can increase the total volume of water and also conveniently dump all your ugly equipment down there. Other adjustments are to include a refugium in the sump. That...

I finally had time over the holiday to break open the third book in the series titled Reef Aquarium by sprung/delbeek. in there I noticed they basically say do NOT run a titanium ground probe. So I'd like to know what people are doing. I thought having one helped to eliminate electrical...

no exp with the skimmer - but is there a specific depth it should be in the sump? How deep do you have it currently?
