    Well crap

    Ahhh, memories of wandering BTA children. I've been there. The trick is to "store" the clones pending sale/pickup, without escaping again or damaging themselves. I once bought a plastic colander at GoodWill to store a BTA in my sump, and this worked for the short term. A forever wondering...

    Return pump help!

    Keep in mind that your closed loop will provide a lot of your overall water flow. In other words, with the high circulation provided by a closed loop, your system is less sensitive to a lower flow pushing through your sump. I have found this to apply on my 240g reef, with a closed loop. The...

    Solidification of Arragonite Substrate

    ***Has anybody had their pumps start to freeze up do to calcium carbonate buildup?*** This "solidification" also increased a "caked" layer on my pumps, etc. In fact, my large skimmer stopped working property, until I soaked it with vinegar. I've maintained a reef aquarium for over 10 years...

    Thanks. Indeed, some of the clumps I have encountered are quite hard, and tough to break

    Solidification of Arragonite Substrate

    Hello, Like many, I occasionally fall behind with my reef water chemistry--including lapses in my manual 2-part dosing. I notice solid blocks of my substrate occur from time to time, including some pcs 4-6" long. I'd be grateful for an explanation as to what causes this. I know what the...

    ATO issue. Help please.

    Forgive my comment, but siphon break is basic aquarium, eh? Was the (oversight of) a siphon break truly the issue on this one? If so, best wishes with siphon 101!

    Why is my Star's legs getting stumpier and stumpier?

    Thanks for the feedback. I did some research and find the deterioration can be a sign of starvation, which means the star has munched away my DSB infauna to such a point that the infauna population can't sustain his appetite (at least this is my belief). I realize now it is a mistake to have...
