    I need macro algae asap!

    I am starting to feel like I just need to PM Mojo, LOL! Seriously though, I am ditching the canister for filtration and using it for media only until I can get a sump running and can afford a better skimmer. It is a PITA and its time I start relying on my rock for what it is best at. I have a...

    I need macro algae asap!

    I will start using my water change water as you suggested earlier and see if that makes a change but now im considering ditching the canister all together. I have atleast 50#'s of live rock in my tank. 50#'s should be enough. Do you think that I could remove all the baskets from the filter and...

    Algae Scrubber Basics

    I have an established system already and I would like to switch to this kind of filtration. How long will I have to wait from the time that install the algae scrubber before I can take the other systems off line?

    Algae Scrubber Basics

    When you add this to your system, will it cause a mini cycle like adding a bunch of new rock will sometimes do?

    I need macro algae asap!

    I clean my sponges in fresh water from a sink I use to clean my equipment. I have been doing it that way since day one. I don't stagger my sponges cleaning schedule but I can't imagine that with all the ceramic cylinders I use and the live rock that even mistakenly killing off the bacteria on...

    I need macro algae asap!

    It is approx. 44g very tall. I pull the canister every other month and clean the sponges and change out my carbon. Its not usually all that dirty. Is the Accela pump on the skimmer all that much better? Also, What is chemi-pure?

    Rothany's Half rimless Shallow Reef Build

    You can't ditch the waterfall! That is one of the neatest things about your tank. I also understand the delemma of space and wanted to ad more or this and that. AH, choices, choices.

    I need macro algae asap!

    Water change is what I will use to bring them down but I am going to need something to help keep them that way while im gone for 30 days.

    Have you tried any of the nano skimmers they use on the 29g cubes? those are pretty small. like the Biocube nano skimmer from oceanic. Im sure not the best skimmer but would probably work for your needs. it's only 2-1/4" x 8-3/4" high Uploaded with ImageShack.us

    I need macro algae asap!

    I am having a Nitrate spike in my 44g system for some reason. I have been feeding the same amount for months, I have done 10g water changes once a week since I started, I haven't added any new live stock in the last month or so. I am in the military and I am leaving for the field on Sat for...

    In the world of reefing bigger is "always" better so what is the maintance on these pico's? I have noticed a building trend with them. Is it because you have pretty much mastered the larger set-ups and the pico's are a challenge? I think they are awesome and would be interested in letting my son...

    Sold my Elos...thanks everyone. Still have a sump and the bench though

    Sorry to hear about you having to take down your system. I am in the military so I imagine someday the Army will move me around and the cost of moving my tank will probably cost as much as moving my whole house and my wife will tell me NO! lol. How much do you want for the sump? PM me, I am in...

    Rothany's Half rimless Shallow Reef Build

    I have seen Rothany's system in person when I got a frag of Alpha and Omega (doing awesome by the way) and the system looks really sleek in person and the water fall is such a unique touch. It looks amazing man! Did you get your new lights put up yet? I know you were talking about switching when...

    D's 40 breeder desk project

    I actually had my mangroves fully submerged in my display tank like they were growing out of the middle of a rock until I replaced that rock with a large center piece to switch my tank from fowler to reef and no longer had a place for them. They didn't grow at first but when I started adding...
