    1.032 to 1.026 is a big jump in salinity to make in one fail swoop. You should be edging down very slowly over several days, not one (or maybe that's what you did?). Give your corals a few days, starting the sump should have put the corals into a tailspin unless there is something that you put...

    Why do my false clown fish want to live near the

    When I get up in the night and check on mine they are over to one side of the tank, up higher, where the current is a bit less ( I think the only place in my tnak with less flow LOL). Anyway, they never seem to be laying down, but swimming, just slower at night in this location. Mine are Onyx...

    Noobs Guide To Acclimation-Flash Video

    That's a good clean approach. I especially do the 2 hour drip with my shrimps, crabs and stars. MY fish I basically go an hour. My corals I go 1/2 hour. My zoos I fresh water dip then just place into the tank.

    Proper Care of Cheat Aleae?

    can you re-create similar by using a small powerhead pointing in the opposite direction? Was thinking of re-directing the output from my phos reactor to try and accomplish this.

    Too much Skimming

    Mine is kindof the opposite problem. My urchin was skimming real well for some time than 1 day the out put was maybe half of what it was before. I've made adjustments, pulled the set screw and cleaned the inner tubing, moved the collection cup up and down still not as much action as I'd like...

    Why do my false clown fish want to live near the

    I don't have power heads in my tank. Flow is from sump return with a split dual inlet and closed loop with 4 inlets, 1 high and 1 low on each side of the tank. I have the lock fit double Y fittings on the high inlets and my pair hang out up there after the lights go out mostly. Mine get a...

    suggestions for how to run carbon

    I have run my carbon in a mesh bag and change it out every 2 weeks. I was running 2 bags and changing 1 every week to rotate so there was always new carbon in each week. I'm going to move to a phosban reactor with in the next couple of weeks. Have the unit and all the parts, just need the...

    Epoxying Frags

    Exactly you can never be too careful with the stuff. My dad superglued his right finger to his left heel LOL. He used it to put on the cracks on his feet to help heal them. What a funny sight that was! Even more funny is the stuff worked. We still talk about that from time to time and it...

    why is 'dry' dark skimmate considered better than 'wet' light skimmate?

    wholly cow, if I draind 2 gallons of skimmate a day I'd be standing in crappy, smelly, water an ankle deep LOL! That seems like a lot to me. Is there a mini version of that skimmer availabe?

    Epoxying Frags

    I just need to make sure. All my frags are alread glued or attached to small rocks. It's my live rock that I need to attach the frag rocks to. I am wondering if I can stick the eopxy in the water, between the live rock and the frag rock to hold it in place. Just don't want them to slide or...

    Epoxying Frags

    Bought a couple frags that were already attached to rubble rock. My Ricordia rock (which is small, single head on a small rock) keep tumbling off at night. My LFS only had the marineland hold fast epoxy. Can you use this stuff wet to hold down your frags? Also, how long to I wait to epoxy the...

    Proper Care of Cheat Aleae?

    why is 'dry' dark skimmate considered better than 'wet' light skimmate?
