    Macroalgae preferance

    A true refugium should be pleasing to the eye. Most people put a refugium section in there sump for the benefit of the macroalgae. But a dedicated refugium should be for observing the refugium life. Granted mine is in a sump I can still open the front door of my cabinet to check it out and...

    the neverending Salt topic

    thats crazy I thought instant ocean was a not so popular low end salt. Yet it seems to be the favorite so far. Is it the favorite only because of the cost or the levels that is mixes to? I pay the extra bucks for Reef Crystals because it is suppose to be a better salt for reef it is still made...

    Homemade Fish Food.

    I am sure many of you experts make your own fish food to avoid phospates and such. I have been wanting to do so. But before I do I thought maybe if you all share with me your recipe's to homemade blended fish food It could help me decide what to include in my mix. Still a little fuzzy on what...

    the neverending Salt topic

    I know that the best Salt for use in your aquarium is definately debatable and there are many different opinions of which salt is better. I am new to this site and am wanting to know which salt all of you use and the reason why behind your choice. I use ReefCrystals although It is low on...

    Macroalgae preferance

    Chaeto doesn't really look like a plant to me more like grass or Hair. Why is it that Chaeto is so popular because it is easy and problem free? Are there Macroalgae's that do a better job of absorbing Nitrates and such? I know there are others that are more pleasing to the eye for sure.

    I'll Be a Dad in 8 Weeks!!

    You know the sound of the tank & the actinic lights from your aquarium could be soothing for the baby and help your baby sleep at night. It also would give you something to watch at night when you are half asleep feeding the baby. You could have some great ideas and thoughts in the middle of...

    Return line flow director

    I really like the flow in the tank I am worried about the refugium flow with the intense tank flow since the refugium should be mellow flow. My refugium baffles are about 10" high with teeth cut on the top. If I have my mag7 flow at full blast will this jeopardize the amount of time needed...

    RO/DI...do I need the DI?

    The RO will purify the water to about 98% and the DI will give you the other 2% purification from what I understand.

    Return line flow director

    I would think that with smaller pipes you would get more flow because of more pressure. The larger piping would mean it would have to pump more water up the return line to reach the tank. Also the threading on my mag7 is 1/2" threading. I would have to get an adapter to go from 1/2" threading...

    Bigger poop is actually easier to scoop with the shovel than smaller droppings. I noticed there are a lot of people from washington state thats cool.

    Return line flow director

    I just recently did the plumbing on the return line from my Mag7 to the tank. I used 1/2" PVC pipe with shut off valves etc... My question is does anyone know if they make a flow director that attaches to 1/2" PVC pipe. As of now the PVC connects to 1" tubing with an adaptor and the tubing...

    New to the site wanted to say Hi,

    Thank you for the warm welcome, My tank is still fairly new isn't too pretty yet like a lot of yours, I haven't added any macroalgae yet and with only 2 snails for a clean-up crew there is still some decent algae, I will see if I can take a photo this weekend.
