    Evaporated Water

    Should I replace evaporated water in my sump with the reef kalkawasser? I have read that some people replace water with limewater which is reef Kalkawasser. What do you guys do? Should I put regular ro/di water or limewater back into my tank?

    Non aggressive fish

    I was just wondering what you guys think are the least aggressive fish out there for a tank. I started out with aggressive damsels and that almost made me want to give up the hobby because of how hard it was to get them out. It also kind of gave me a bad outlook on the hobby with aggressive...

    ID Please

    I have seen this in my tank before but I finally got a picture of it out on the rock. It almost looks like a snail without a shell but all the snails that I have bought still have there shells.

    Sump sand

    What is the difference in sands. There is the regular nature's ocean live sand that you buy at the LFS and then there is the sugar sized sand. I notice that everybody seems to put sugar sized sand in there sump. Only thing I can think of is that it packs tighter. Thanks

    Sump Refugium

    I'm not sure if it's going to be low flow or not? I was just going to wait and see. But I think from the design it will probably be low flow.

    Sump Refugium

    Can a Refugium within a sump be to big? I am planning on building a sump to go under my 55 gallon that is 30" long by 14" tall and 13" deep. The Refugium is looking at being 18" long by 14" tall and 13" deep which is pretty big for the size of the sump. I plan on putting some live sand or...

    Hey guys, just a quick question. Can I make the Kalawasser paste to kill aptesia with this ? If so how. Just mix it in a spoon with a small amount of water until it's a thick paste then squirt it with a syringe onto the aptesia? Thanks for any reply you guys are great.

    Crab Hitchhiker

    I was looking in my tank with a flashlight tonight and was surprised by a little tiny crab. I can't get a picture of him because he is so tiny but I am hopeing that I can describe him since he is different than all the crabs that I can find pictures of. The crab has a really small miniature...

    Baby Turbo

    It looks exactly like our turbo's (from what you can see) and it has a little purple top where the shell is. The same shape and color as the turbo's just smaller.

    Baby Turbo

    Hey guys I found a new addition to our tank this afternoon. A little baby turbo snail. He is extremely fast running around the tank. My question is will they grow a shell? I'm thinking they will but I just want to make sure that I don't need to get them a shell or anything. Thanks

    Canister filter question

    Right now I have biomax and carbon. So I should just take out the biomax? I thought it wasn't that good to run alot of carbon because it takes out vital nutrients in the tank?
