Mods if in wrong forum please move. After many different answers to my skimmer question here and other forums it seems people are split almost 50/50. So I would like to try a test. My current skimmers I have a mag 7 pump and was told by some a needle wheel pump would improve the skimming or one...

If anyone buys any fish from the Petco in Old Bridge you would need to quarantine it. That place is just disgusting with fish care in my opinion. Many of them have swollen eyes or very dull in color among other prolems you can easily see. Forgot to mention every fish I have seen had what...

Sam, thanks for socks and phosphate remover. By the way the Hippo is doing great.

Interested in filter socks.

I would like to help but that date sounds very familiar. Need to check with the wife.

I may know someone let me check witht them.

Phil, I am jealous of your cute babies. But lately I feel like Ralph. I started with one GBTA and now have 4. Yeah I know Ralph had RBTA.

I used one on my 55 and it worked fine. I just skimmed more on the wet side and be sure to keep it clean.

Just saw the post. It would be best to PM me as then I will get the email. Monday will be best for me. I will pas on the eel but thanks.

Yes, you will get some of the sand. I think it's a small price to pay as you can replece it slowly with new clean sand. I may just siphon out all the sand and go bare bottom.

Mine were at 40ppm and now about 25ppm. My 1/4 inch sand bed was just filthy; I siphon up the sand now during water changes. My cleanup crew is not doing a good job or just don't have enough.

I agree. I always add new fish at night. Can even try moving a piece of rock or adding something to the tank so its new. Then once setlled in remove it.

Reseter, no problem. Let me know when you want to pic up.

I will take a pic this weekend and post.

Dan, How many heads are you looking for? Mark

Was there tonight to say goodbye to the people I became friends with. Best of luck to all of them. Surprisingly many fish supplies were left.

Welcome to the club. There are different ways people have set theirs up. I suggest searching through the DIY forum and see what others did. Find some you like and ask questions then pick the one that best fits your situation and go for it. Mark

I discovered what is casuing high nitrates in my tank(40ppm). Even though the sand bed is shallow 1/4 inch approximately. I did a water change and decide to clean the sand as one spot seemed dirty. The amount of dirt in there was gross the water was actually brown in the bucket, I changed about...

RC had a nice post on how to take out the side, as previoulsy suggested, and slide the new sump in.

I have about 6 heads of Yellow polyps if anyone is interested. Below is some information about them: Scientific Name: Parazoanthus gracilis Classification: Soft Coral Common Names: Yellow Polyps Description: Yellow polyps are very distinctive. They are obviously yellow in color and have...
