    sea clone protein skimmer 100 leak

    I work on a lot of these skimmers and I have had very much the same problem with them on more than one occasion. I have gone as far as gluing the two pieces together. I Think that they are better than the RS skimmers though. I don't have to adjust the seaclone all day long!

    melafix and copods

    Melafix if actually good your fish but it will not kill anything. What it does is help the fish build up it's slime coat so it can defend against parasites and other bacteria. Kind of like a second skin. If you are having a rough time with ich in your system, I would recommend using seachem's...

    Let's Talk About ~Snails~

    I have found that astraea snails usually do very well in tanks the have hair algae in them. I put 6 of them in a clients 55 gallon tank about two years ago and four or five of them are still running to this day. I had originally put them in to control a hair algae bloom and they made short...

    SW Bio-Spira...

    It is still going to take a bit of time even using the bio spira. Basiclly it seeds enough bacteria in your tank to keep the levels from becoming toxic. It still can be up to 3-4 weeks for it to really settle out. it really does work I think that people are misinformed on the use of it...

    I believe that it is a difference in the shaft. if you look at the numbers on them you will see 9.5A or 9.5B the later is the S/W safe one.

    Let's Talk About ~Equipment Maintenance~

    I'm sure that it goes without saying but, don't forget about tearing down those protien skimmers and cleaning them out good too! I do my every couple of monthes. As far as my pumps go I found that they really only need to be opened up every 6-8 months depending on how much grime you let get by...

    info on acrylic tanks

    I have seen tenecors work and they do build very nice tanks. I haven't seen Clarity's tanks here and only clear for live's little jobs, like 20-30 gallon. I always thought that tenecor was a little on the pricey side but that isn't to bad. I was watching one of the NFL's pregame shows a couple...

    Lighting conversation

    A low lighting situation is I given...I guess my question is that, Anemones are reliant on phytosynthsis, but how reliant are they really. Most reefer that you talk to say that they must be kept only under MH's but, I have met more than my share of people that claim that they have kept them...
