    Pyramidellid snails killing snails

    So I have lost a large Mexican Turbo, and about 5 Astrea Snails over the last month or so. While trying to figure out what was going on I ran into these guys. They are all round the bottom of all my snails. I found a few articles about them and some of their natural predators....aside from...

    What's the dumbest thing that you've done?

    I left my RO/DI water on over night. Dropped the tank temp about 4 degrees, salinity to about 1.018. (If my hydrometer was as off as it was when I got my refractometer) Nothing died. Just took me quite some time to get my salinity back up.

    Any recommendations on plumbing (pics)

    Just remember that according to Loc-line 3/4" can only handle around 1,140 gph max.

    What did you get for Valentines day?

    I got a refractometer and rear ended by a Ford Expedition. :)

    Changing Alot.....Soon

    One alternative could be a Tunze setup like this: http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~idProduct~TZTS24.html Considering cost of pumps, 4-way, and plumbing it would be just about the same. High GPH overall, less power.

    Changing Alot.....Soon

    My 125 is a 6ft tank. I currently have a Seio 1500, and 2 Koralia K4s and still have some crazy dead spots. The closed loop should get some flow into the center section of the tank. The low ports would all be plumbed along the bottom to get the nozzles to the front bottom of the tank. Plus...

    Changing Alot.....Soon

    So currently I have a 125G RR w/Corner Over Flows, ETSS 800 Down Draft Skimmer, and a two tank set-up for sump, fuge, return. I plan to switch out the tank glass to a 125G RR w/Mega Flows *My tank is pretty scratched up...hence why I am changing tank glass* While changing the tank out I plan...

    best brand of refractometer?

    I got one as an early Valentine's Day gift. Tested my water that I thought was at 1.023 (recovering from a bone headed move...slowly upping to 1.026) and fount out that my water was actually at 1.020. Tested steven11's water at 1.025 however his hydrometer thinks his tank is at 1.028. Both of...

    Anyone with unleveled tank?

    I got my 125 set-up, once the water leveled out I noticed the tank is off by a little less than 1/8". The only difference it has made is that more water goes through the left over flow than the right. Looks like I need a new level since the one I had told me I was good. Oh well.

    Have you had a chromis jump?

    I have what we call the "Ghost Chromis" We thought it was dead, didn't see it in a month. Then all of a sudden I noticed it hiding in the live rock and it was so pale it was almost white. Now it only comes out at night when all the other fish are tucked away for bed. Beware the Ghost Chromis!

    So heres the deal. I was running a Phosban reactor, ditched it when I started up a fuge and some chaeto. Now I have my fuge going, some chaeto, and my question is.....I know that both Chaeto and Phosban are working towards the same goal, and Phosban could actually work towards killing off your...

    Sand sifting crew - experience requested..

    I have a Mural Sifter Goby that does his thing, also eats flake food so he's just fine. I have Nassarius Snails also however my stay burried during the day until you feed and are pretty much up all night. While the Nassarius Snails do some sand movement I think the Goby accounts for 90% of the...
