    Skimmer suggestions?

    I was thinkin of an Aqua C EV400 or a comparable ETSS. I have an etss now and I'm very happy with it. The only thing I don't like is the size of the pump you need to run it ( bigger Iwaki 55 or 70). That's a lot of electricity and money out the window each month. I also think maybe that style is...

    Rubbermaid stock tank for sump setup? Anyone using?

    do you need a baffle? Could you just keep your return inlet on bottom, keep water level high and let the overflow water come in across top of sump?

    Rubbermaid stock tank for sump setup? Anyone using?

    No problems with bubbles coming back up? How high do you keep the water level in it? Is your skimmer in sump or out?

    Rubbermaid stock tank for sump setup? Anyone using?

    Setting up a new 215 reef and I hate micro bubbles so I want to eliminate this problem from the start. Tank is on first floor and the filter/equipment will be under it in the basement. Don't want to buy a sump because of the cost, and my flow will be very high so I think bubbles will make their...

    Purple up?

    Purple up seemed to help out a little in my tank. But remember the lighting has a lot to do with it too.

    Worm like creature killed my clam

    I have these worms. I was able to get one out of my tank it was about 6" long. I only see them at night. If you look in your tank in middle of night with a flashlight you'll probably see it again. Look quick cause when the light hits em thy shoot back into their hole or area really fast. Just...

    Powerheads??

    I have 3 Maxi-jet 1200's on a wave maker ( The combo deal ). They are far from quiet! All I hear at night is the 2 out of 3 of them clicking on and off. Drives me nuts. Night use to be the quiet peaceful time after the lights and fans went off. Not anymore! I had the Koralia's and loved them but...

    Suggestions for glass protection for bare bottom reef ?

    Moving soon and planning on upgrading to a 265 reef. Pretty sure I'm gonna go bare bottom and have a remote sand bed. The tank is 30" high and I plan on having the rock work go almost to the top in spots. So my question is what's the best material to put on the bottom of tank for some added...

    Filter Sock

    Ricwilli If your skimmer is overflowing when you remove the dirty sock it might be the additional water that the sock holds raises the level of your sump when you pull it out to change it. Causing the skimmer to overflow. I change my socks when they're overflowing and after i pull them out my...
