Thanks MatteZ. I remember seeing some clams at tropiqurium and I know they have ORA livestock. Will check with them.

Thinking about getting a Maxima Clam. Would welcome some advice on where to get one around this area for the best chance of survival too. Also anyone have experience with the aquacultured clams from LiveAquaria? Thanks, Joe

When I was out I try to keep the task minimum for a non fish person. So I ask them to feed only one cube of frozen food. My filter sock overflows but that's ok. I also run the skimmer dry to minimize overflowing. Mnat suggested ip cam. I have one I bought from Amazon for $40 and it's great to...

Get a couple of emerald crabs they eat everything, no coral of course. I have a couple in each of my tanks

I can cut you a piece if you can't find it closer. I am in 07733.

It will look purple once it's covered in coraline algae, so it's kind of pointless to paint it.

No moorish idle much higher chance and you need a 180 for them.

I HAD one 2 years ago and I lost it. Although it was sold to me as Ice and Fire it most likely was a maricultured piece. Not from reefarmers. And these things can have different color intensity under different conditions. So I might very well buy a maricultured one if I see one that looks good.

I have the medium sized model (BP 110) and it never clogged. I have not touched it for 6 months. If it's clogged you will see the pellets tumbling slower I guess. I used to connect the output of the BP reactor to the intake of the skimmer. I don't do that anymore and it makes no difference...

That's nice. I want one too :)

What is an ice fire? Most of us have Hawkins. Is ice fire Aussie maricultured. I see plenty of these and they look exactly the same as ice fire.

welcome. like your aquascape.

It's quite rare for these guys to eat corals but mine did eat a hammer.

I don't like the idea of having a refugium in the sump after having one. It's usually too small to make an impact and all kind of stuff will start growing in the sump making it messy to work with. You can run a bio-pellet reactor which is easy to setup. Start with a small amount, like 100ml for...

Full siphon the flow rate is a LOT bigger. I have to look it up but like I said my main drain gate is barely open.

Ocelaris - with Herbie the smaller hole is the main and the bigger one is the backup. You would use the 1/2" hole for the main. If I am not wrong it should support 600g+ flow rate when fully open. So it might work for you. You can experiment with a Herbie setup first (it doesn't take much work...

So there is one 1" and one 1/2" holes?

Herbie is almost as good and a lot simpler. I use it and have nothing to complain about.

Watched a few videos on youtube. Thought some of you might enjoy..
