    is this common?

    Maybe your fish are playing “Truth or Dare” or “Hide and Seek”... :lol: That is bizarre! :D

    My new room for my 175

    Due to their ball and socket design and adjustability, Loc-Line isn’t completely leak proof. Since there’s usually minimal backpressure in most applications, the velocity of water flowing through them tends to pull air in rather than leak water out through an unsealed connection that isn’t...

    My new room for my 175

    Nice setup Jerry! :D Just incase you’re not aware of this already... If for any reason you start to see micro bubbles in your tank, those Loc-Line sections above the water could be your #1 culprit. :)

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    Ah finally! Now you have two tanks to watch! :D Back in the day, I used to keep those gorgonian skeletons in my sterile looking fish tanks. ;) They ended up getting coated with micro algae after a while, so I’d expect the same will happen with yours especially with it in your refugium under...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    That’s a valid point, Meche. It’s hard telling what kind of curing process this new rock has gone through already... If any... I guess I’m just as anxious as she is at seeing this up and running. :p Put the rocks down, Yvonne... Maintain your composure. :D

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t put the new rock in. It’s cured though, right?

    Denitrification WithOUT live rock.

    No offense barrierreefcf, but my vote is for the less sophisticated and inexpensive route... Bucket o’ sand, ala remote. :)

    Cal/Alk Balance

    Lol that’s ok Boomer, explain away. :lol: I just seen the word “Prestone” and automatically thought of car products. Arm&Hammer baking soda is as far as I will go at using alternative supplements. Thanks for the clarification though. lol :lol:

    Cal/Alk Balance

    Huh? Am I reading that right?... Automotive products? :shock: Hmmm... That’s interesting.

    Before and After shot

    Wow, what a difference... Kinda like night and day. Very nice work, Krish! Looks great! :)

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    Okay, no more talking about scary siphon overflows. :rolleyes: :p Since you mentioned that your water parameters are a little out of balance, and that your newly added sump/fuge and return pump has created more flow in your display tank, maybe your corals and worms are trying to readjust to...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    Yep, I'm one of those u-tube style people. :p Hearing what it takes just to keep a CPR working scares me. After having so many years of experience with my siphon overflow, I rather recomend people to get a reef ready tank or have one drilled. Just my two pennies... :D

    Will CPR hang-on refugium work over a sump?

    I think he’s (ecobalance) referring to the overall size of the HOB refugium in general, which I don’t completely agree with...:rolleyes: IMO, I think any form of nutrient export regardless of size is better than none.;) And about the pump puree of “copes” and “amps”... I’ve seen...

    the ultimate 75 mix reef

    That’ll work... here’s a ton of info on ASM’s...so get comfortable, you’re in for a long read. :lol: It’s been split numerous times. Here’s the very beginning... http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=426125&perpage=25&pagenumber=1 And here’s the latest split...

    Have you ever seen a colony of this before?

    What about manual removal, Steve? Say for example, you take a rock that has these hydroids on it and scrub them off outside of the tank they are kept in. Is there a chance that they could endure and survive through this method? In other words, do you know if hydroids bore into the rock or if...

    Cleaning Sand Surface

    Get yourself a gravel cleaner siphon hose like those famous “Python’s” and clean out a little section of your sand bed on each water change. Don’t try to clean the entire sand bed in a single water change because this may disrupt the bio-filtration activities that are already established...

    opinions on rock

    Welcome to RF! :D It’s basically your call on the boulders. If there’s coralline on the newer rock then it will eventually spread to the other rock... As long as your water parameters are right that is. If it was my tank, I’d ditch the crushed coral all together and go with something like...

    Congrat’s! So you’ve already had your first flood. :lol: I bet you’ll be sleeping with one eye and one ear open eh? :D

    the ultimate 75 mix reef

    Welcome to RF! I’ll second the opinion to upgrade to a better skimmer than the seaclone. :D With the lighting that you already have, and not knowing the wattage, all I can see you being able to keep would be the lower light tolerant corals like mushroom polyps and such. So you’re probably...
