    180 Gallon Fish stocking list

    Sixline wrasse are awesome little fish. Very active swimming in and out of your rockwork. Very docile for the most part. Only add one to our tank unless you know for sure you have a pair. Inland Aquatics in Terre Haute, IN sometimes have pairs of these fish. Ask for Mike.

    kent vs b-ionic

    I don't know how much of a difference there is between the two, but I have been using Kent with good results. I did use B-Ionic on a 75 once and had problems with hair algae. I had used Kent on this system too, but after switching to B-Ionic I had the hair algae problem. However, it may not...

    Need suggestions on new submersible pump

    thanks Thanks, I was thinking about a quiet one pump. They are suppose to be extremely quiet, at least that is what I have heard. I read on a posting somewhere where they need to be rebuilt in about 2 years after use. Not sure if this is true or not. Haven't heard numerous complaints about...

    Need suggestions on new submersible pump

    What submersible pump do you recommend? Looking for a new one. Has to be submersible as sump is glass and already in use. Tank is 90gal. Pump must be as quiet as possible. I have a mag now and it is a little to noisy for me.

    ASM skimmer
