    Need advice for Return pump

    Oh, another question ac7av - what does "possessing plant" mean?

    Need advice for Return pump

    Thanks for you input. I can't do a closed loop - I don't have room. My concern with powerhead flow has to do with placement - the peninsula set up limits my options and the depth of the tank seems to increase the possibility for "stagnant" water which is why I think that more flow from the...

    Need advice for Return pump

    I am considering replacing my CoralLife Turbo Sea 1740 with a Reeflo pump. My display tank is a 250 G peninsula with overflo on one of the short ends. The dimensions are 24" wide 64" long and its pretty deep - 31" high. The sump/fuge is 75 g and sits on a shelf one floor down. Water drains to...

    I need a better skimmer for my 29 elos Nano

    Thanks Mark but I have it figured out. I just realized that I have to clean the air hose about every 3 weeks. The salt creep is what was screwing it up. Now its working great - Nitrates are consistantly 0. My biological system seems to be balanced, part of it is that the live rock is full of...

    Thanks Kevin. I can live without the Anthelia but really like the Xenia so I will replace them.

    acropora and xenias

    So I had a beautiful purple acropora for 8 months and it had doubled in size. Last week I trimmed my anthelia and xenia and my big purple tang turned almost white and within an hour my acropora died - it lost all of its polyps and became a skeleton. My tang (Moses) got his color back within an...

    my new sweet little nano

    Thanks! Your blogspot explainations are amazing - way over my head though. Any finished pictures? How do you like your AquaticLife skimmer? I'm looking for a new one.

    I need a better skimmer for my 29 elos Nano

    I just thought "outside the box" and I bet I could put the skimmer pump in the ATO box.. then the skimmer body could stay in the main chamber. The current skimmer body is about 3" in diameter.

    I need a better skimmer for my 29 elos Nano

    Thanks Mark. So I remeasured in the light of day and I would have 9 X 4.5 but the return pump has to be in that chamber. I could probably go 17 high tho. Let me know what you think!

    I need a better skimmer for my 29 elos Nano

    ya, footprint is the issue I need one that is 5" x 5" and no more than 16" high... any suggestions? Mark, you also said you might be able to ajust this elos to make it work better. I'd travel to your place with it if you would have time to do it... and I'd pay u! Any interest?

    my new sweet little nano

    Thanks Cross. I need another skimmer so am researching. My clowns and damel (Petey) are all fine and I'm getting the hang of it except I put WAY too much phytopure in tonight and am doing emergency water changes since the water turned pure green. God that stuff was strong. I'lll post some new...

    I need a better skimmer for my 29 elos Nano

    Can anyone recommend a better skimmer for my 29 g elos cube? The elos skimmer sucks so I want to replace it. Would appreciate any ideas. The current skimmer sits in the sump. Any suggestions?

    my new sweet little nano

    Ya, I moved a little pick anemone out of my big tank and she is way happier in the nano. Also my scoly wasn't happy in the big tank so she moved too. My little tank is a jewel. I will post some picks tomorrow.

    I want a clam...

    I've had a clam in my little elos 29 g tank since I set it up in September. I have a vortec mp 10 for flow, and elos LED and a small fuge with skimmer. I have two clowns and a yellowtail damsel (named Petey), an anemone, emerald crab and numberous corals. I feed the tank phytopure every other...
