    seio 2600 killing fish

    stuck they just got stuck to the slits where the water is sucked into the pump and couldn't pull free. that is why I added the "sleeves" last night, i'm sure i'm loosing flow but that is better than pulling fish into it. I don't understand how a healthy fish could get sucked into it either...

    seio 2600 killing fish

    I added two seio 2600's to my tank last month and I've saved my large foxface from the thing and just pulled a dead clown tang about the size of a business card off it. how can I guard this pump so i don't catch more fish? The sps are loving the addition though, I put them on each end and my...

    sps feeding recipe thanks for the reply, i've got more of the other seafood than shrimp since I bought the shrimp first. could i make another batch without shrimp and it be ok? I won't be eating the stuff for sure! Since its been froze and thawed I don't think i could freeze it again safely.

    nutrient high water and sps placement I have a good skimmer in the euro reef, as for the fish, I thought I'd read where people w/sps had quite a few fish in there. And figuring out the correct number of fish would depend on the fish of course. I did take out some rock with zoanthus into a...

    Kevin, you said earlier in a post "Also from your overall tank shot it looks like you have more nutrients than desireable for an SPS tank. I would do a couple of 20% water changes 10 days apart using water with less than 10 TDS" What causes the nutrients? Feeding the fish? I thought I'd...

    OK, thanks. I use calcium advantage and reef builder. On the magnesium, is it necessary to buy a testkit or can you gauge it from my calcium level? What formula did you use above for the calcium=magnessium?

    I think I can raise the light safely. How much would you recommend? I came on the FedEx truck, how long before I should try to put power to it? Going to try one and see how I like the 12K.
