    Micro Bubbles?

    Finally ran a good dose of carbon and modified the pump from air injection on the outlet to air injection on the inlet. Works lots better and the micro bubbles are going away. I think there was just a lot of organics.

    Okie Dokie. Thanks again Lee!

    Feeding Sand Sifters

    So they need to eventually be fed a nice omnivore mix? Is the formula one, seaveggies, krill, fresh shrimp or prawn tails a good variety? I am thinking of adding spirulina to my next batch.

    Feeding Sand Sifters

    Hi Lee, I have been using a similar recipe as a couple posted. I (as you know) have not been using QT when adding fish (but I am going to start). My nutrition question is about sand sifting gobies. My yellow head goby sifts sand all day. What exactly is it trying to feed on? Detritus? My food...

    All About Sumps

    Are the Eshopps overflows sensitive to flow imbalance between the return and the siphon? I had a drilled tank with an overflow and this wasn't an issue. I was thinking of going the hang on overflow route, but I am worried about the return pump delivering too much or not enough and draining or...

    I have not done well. Now what?

    Thanks Lee. I know the information I gave was vague, but I was looking for a basic list that you felt was important for proper tank care. You outlined very well and gave me plenty to digest. I have been running carbon and a skimmer and feeding a good mixed diet which is why I have had moderate...

    I have not done well. Now what?

    Hi Lee, So I am ignorant (but gaining knowledge) about a lot of things in this section. I think, like many folks, I intend well, but this whole section makes me feel inadequate in my husbandry. That being said, where do we start to do things correct. I am guessing with proper water changes as...

    Found this guy today

    Are they only growing in the shaded sections? I had some before and Kevin from Aquatic Dreams said they were ok. Some sort of polyp that was pretty mundane.

    Where'd these eggs come from?

    My Nassarius snails lay eggs in kind of circular patterns from what I have seen. Usually about the size of a quarter or so. This long stringy pattern is new to me.

    Flatworm Exit

    I had a weird chemical spike in my tank (possible leather coral toxin....the leather had issues) that killed all of my flatworms. Some of my mushrooms were stressed for a bit, but my fish and anemone were fine. I have not seen a trace of them since. Not a recommended method, but flatworm exit...

    question about aquac remora skimmer

    I have had good luck with my remoras. I used to get issues from some dechlorinators that I used on tap water making the skimmer go nuts, but that was solved by using a different brand. I always get plenty of dark skimmate.

    Micro Bubbles?

    Any good tricks to help reduce micro bubbles? I have a CPR bakpak 2 that I got with my 55gallon. It works fine and will fill the cup with nice dark skimmate in a day, but it produces a ton of micro bubbles. I looked at the manual online and they recommend the bio bale as a means to help, but not...

    Fragging a toadstool leather?

    Yeah I remembered talking to Kevin a few years back when I lived in Spokane about it, but just wanted to make sure my memory was correct. Glad I could help...or let someone else help! ha ha

    Fragging a toadstool leather?

    oh ok. Mine has an odd shape anyway. I had high nitrates for a while in my tank and everything was growing weird. Chemistry is all better now, so I am trying to get everything squared away. Thanks Am3gross.
