    400lbs of sand....suggestions

    For seeding a sand bed the best thing to do is get some from a friends take but I also have bought from billsreef.com and it was some of the best live sand I have ever seen. Much more life then any of the sand I had gotten from fellow reefers.

    400lbs of sand....suggestions

    Theres a sand calculator on another reefing website 3" would be 270 pounds 4" would be 360 pounds 5" would be 450 pounds I have found this calculator to be very acurate but it is basing it off of 90 pounds per cubic foot of sand. This is usualy right on but sometimes it varies so you should...

    Yes If I kep them I would bulk order Linkias and keep them in a low-flow sump that has diatom buildup. I would feed 1 linkia about every 3-4 weeks.

    Attention All Anthia Owners

    I am going to be getting 7-9 Bartlett Anthias and want to make sure they get enough food. I plan to feed them 3-5x a day but I am not sure what they eat. I heard they are picky (Bartletts are less picky) ... so Anthias owners, what do you feed and how often? I was thinking of, -Auto Fed-...

    Low Flow Sump/Refugium

    What if I were to place a Modded MaxiJet900 face down pointing at an acyrlic strip cuasing laminer flow and a tumble effect? I think the MaxiStream puts out over a 1000gph after being modded. That would be 120x flow for the 10g refugium

    Low Flow Sump/Refugium

    I want to run an Eheim 1250 as my return pump and hook up my skimmer directly to the overflow. The Eheim 1250 after head pressure matches the rate my skimmer needs and circulation is provided by 2 Tunze Streams so there is no need for a bigger return pump. My only question is my sump also...

    Nudibranch Breeding

    Dear Anthony, I recently set up a small scale Berghia breeding system and have had good success. I had a terrible Aiptasia problem and solved it and also sold/traded some to local reefers and friends. I am still contemplating keeping the tank going and raising them for money but first I need to...

    refugium flow

    I had read something you wrote awhile back and had a few questions about it, "In the case of 'fuge water flow... it has been grossly underestimated to date. I'd say 10X turnover bare minimum in general... but more like 20X is better/best. You will find that Chaetomorpha and Graciliaria, etc...
