    off to a good start?

    Welcome to RF! Got any pictures to share of your tank? It’s really your call on the sponge in your sump if it’s needed to reduce micro bubbles from entering your tank. Like augustus already mentioned, just be sure to clean it out at least every few days. But definitely try running without it...

    30b or custom cube?

    Oops, my bad!:oops: Somebody slap me!:lol: Although mine wasn’t a 30 breeder so there was a big difference to me. I can understand with not wanting to go with a 40b.

    30b or custom cube?

    I use to have a 30gal and now I have a 40gal and I really like it. The added distance from front to back looks more appealing to me, as well as the additional surface area.

    Carlos 60 gallon new tank

    Your tank and setup looks really nice Carlos! The last picture of your skimmer looks pretty clean. Is it still working well for you? As for your lighting duration, try to fight the urge to keep them on longer. Keep it short until your tank has cycled and able to get a clean up crew in there...

    Mysid shrimp

    If you think your fish have totally decimated your mysis population then the only place I know of online that offers mysis shrimp is Inland Aquatics. Look under starter kits for Starter Kit, Mysis/Gammarus. FWIW... I’ve thought my population was totally annihilated a couple of times and a...

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    Welcome to RF Aaron! :) Wow an Australian in Germany, I guess you’re pretty much out of your element there eh? Your tank description sounds really nice. I like the full length overflow feature. In my opinion it’s not possible to over skim an aquarium. The skimmer will cease or slow down on...

    30b or custom cube?

    I agree with what Mark said earlier. You may be cwazy but don’t be impatient! Step back and take a breath, what ever you do don’t buy on an impulse and wish you didn’t later on. 30gal tanks are pretty narrow, and I think cubes are pretty neat as well. Go for the deal on the lights and pump...

    Mysid shrimp

    Yep they’re a common hitchhiker. You might not see them at every glance. They’re pretty elusive especially when there’s fish in the same tank... I guess that makes them kinda nervous. :lol:

    Pacific Blue

    It looks like a type of non-photosynthetic gorgonian.

    Easy my foot Nikki! :lol: This one took me almost two weeks to figure out. :rolleyes: It’s a marine diatom, formally known as “Licmophora flabellata”. And here’s my source for proof. http://home.tiscali.nl/~t936927/art_deco.html Man! I’d hate to ask you for a harder one. :eek:

    yet another "my nitrates are high" thread

    Yes it is true that a small amount of sand will get siphoned out when using one of these washers, especially with the finer oolitic type of sand substrates. Yet these finer substrates don’t need to be cleaned as aggressively as crushed coral because not much debris will get trapped between the...

    yet another "my nitrates are high" thread

    Welcome to RF cr8signs, and don’t be embarrassed. Yeah, it would be best if you took that blue/white filter pad out completely since you say you don’t clean it that often because it’s a pain to get to. This is more or less turning into a nitrate producer in itself when left in there for...
