    What type of filter you use in the sump?

    I think I will use the filter sock and start vaccuming the sump. I have some live rocks in my sump, so the detritus may come from there. Do you recommend to put the spare live rock in sump? Thanks for all the replys. KC

    Need advice for flow

    Nikki, I knew that Rio is not the best one out there. However, this is the only one that is small enough so I can hide it behind the overflow box and can't see it on the other side of the tank. I hope this improvement can keep my SPS happy. What about a Tunze stream pump? Which one will be...

    Need advice for flow

    I need some advice for flow in my tank. Currently the spraybar and 3/4 seaswirl are running by 2 Iwaki Mak4. I plan to replace the Seio M620 with a 1/2 seaswirl that run by a Rio2100 to get better flow. Do you think it is a good idea? I plan to keep more SPS. Thanks in advance. KC

    suckion cup issue

    One of my maxi-jet power heads keeps on falling. Is there any trick that I can prevent that happen. I already cleaned the suckion cups and scraped all the ca off the wall. I had it for 1 1/2 year, is it time to replace them? I couldn't find it in BlueSierra, do you know where I can get them...

    Clam Emergency

    I dip the clam into the fresh water for 15 mins and had a water change yesterday. The salinity was 1.026 this morning. I will dip it again tonight. By the way, should I change water again by add the water without salt? Is this a quickest way to lower the salinity? Thanks KC
