Well, I was doing a water change and decided to peak in my overflow and found about 3-4" of crud. It was so thick I had to vacum it out...

    Please HELP! Which Calcium Reactor to buy?

    I have had a Koralin for 3 years now and no problems I love it. The only problem I ever had was setting the original bubble rate, but once it was set I haven't had to do much with it. Chris

    Clown ?

    I totally agree with Elmo, but I have a pair of ocellaris with a pair of tomato clowns and they get along ok, but they have divided the tank in two.
