    seio powerheads ?

    mmkeeper is right. You can adjust the flow by opening or closing the inlet slits. Or as mmkeeper put it, by turning the inlet baffle. I had no idea what baffle meant until just now. The blue knob is to control air intake for a venturi. I'm sure it will probably affects the flow as well.

    Yellow Tang or Six Line?

    Thanks for the responses. I was kind of figuring that a full grown Tang wouldn't be comfortable in my 55 corner. However, people have told me that they 've bought baby tangs that even after a couple years stayed modestly sized in a large tank. I was hoping I might get lucky and get one of...

    Yellow Tang or Six Line?

    Okay, this is a pretty general question. What are people’s experiences with Yellow Tangs and Six Line Wrasses? I’m trying to decide which will be the new addition. I have a 55 gallon corner with a Common Clown, Coral Beauty, and a Blue Yellow Tail Damsel. Also I have an Emerald Crab...

    Seattle weather in August

    Hmmmmm I wouldn't worry about it too much. Sure, global warming bla bla bla. I think people forget that Washington does in fact get hot and dry during the summer. It lasts about 2 months and than goes back to being rainy and mild. Although, it is weird to see my tank hit 84 degrees. Global...

    temp question ez one

    Yes, just like air, when water heats it expands and rises. When it cools, it condenses and sinks. There is one weird exception to this rule with H20: when it freezes it expands again... that's why ice floats. Anyway, all of this should have no effect in your tank because the water is...

    best tank photo contest!!

    My Turn Okay, here is mine. It’s a 55 corner. I just got into reef keeping about 3 months ago; so far so good. I know I have a long way to go but I have put so much work into this little chunk of glass already that I figure I should show it off. The picture is not the best. [/URL][/IMG]

    help with my new xenia

    No worries I just bought some Red Sea Xenia and they really didn't start pulsing for about 3-4 days. When I initially placed them in the tank only a few pulsed rarely. Then completely stopped for like 3 days. Now it’s been a little over a week and they are pulsing like crazy. As long as...

    remora question

    Me too I'm having the same problem. I bought an aqua c remora pro with the mag 3 and it's been running about 2 weeks now. Although, there are fewer bubbles then there were initially I'm starting to get worried that the micro bubbles won't stop.
