A couple of things...for one the water going into the wet/dry prior to the drip tray...plus the skimmer pouring water back into sump...the stand pipe also makes some noise, but I hear the durso pipe is the way to go with that.

I wanted to get some thoughts on sound proofing a sump area. My wetdry/refugium makes quite a bit of noise, and I was wanting to sound proof it. There are openings in the rear of the sump area, where I think some of the sound is escaping, but I wanted to make sure it was ok so I didn't over...

I have a hang-on turbo floater...from my previous tank...should I use that. Also, if I get rid of the bio balls...can I change how the water comes into the wet/dry...that's the loud part. Any thougts as to where I can place the skimmer and where I can place the fuge (which compartments). I...

No...Fish Only...and yes...I have lots of Live Rock prob. 200lbs (I plan on getting rid of some)

I just purchased a used 92 corner which had a built-in overflow that went into a wet/dry with a skimmer. Well...first off the wet/dry is super loud, and the skimmer doesn't look like its skimming all that much (the tornado inside the chamber looks pretty weak...not sure how to fix that)...

Ok...I am not 100% new to aquariums, but I am new to sump since my last tank was a 100 gallon Berlin set-up. I purchased a 92 corner and it is honestly a little noisier than I remember when it was setup at his house. The pumps seem loud, the inflow into the bio ball chamber seems loud, and...

Howdy folks, Quick question. I have a cucumber, and was wondering how I might know if he is getting the proper nutrients in the water. I have had him for over a year, and he keeps getting smaller and smaller. I know these guys can change their shape any time, but this guy is just looking...

I have some red and green algae growing in my tank. I have made water changes and have nassarius snails keeping it somewhat controlled, but it has still not gone away. Should I just kept taking out the algae by hand, keep changing the wateror is there another way? Thanks Brian

My turbo flotor has been running for 6 months now and all of the sudden I come home and the churning you usually see inside the protein skimmer has stopped. There is still water running through the skimmer though. It is actually more GPH than before. I really need my skimmer to work, so...

Is that for the inside or outside of the tank? Brian

I know many of you have experinced this before, since acrylic aquariums are doomed to scratch. I have several small scratches on the inside of the tank (due to some rocks falling as well as scrubbing the algae of the tank) and some scratches on the outside. What should I do for each case. (If...

I have had my tank up and running for about 8 months now and it has been very slow to growing coraline algae. I started introducing a drip of Kaltwasser at night of around half a galloon. Is this good practice? How often should I do this? Are there any other measures I can take to help speed...

He is still hiding for the most part, but has come out more and more each day. I have been observing them and from what I see, neither really harassing. I have not seen it eating much, but he still seems to be swimming ok. I just expected the Mac. Angel to be the least timid. B

I def. agree the mac (yellowbar) angel will be too big for a 100 galloon. Right now, it is a juv, and will be for a while. I plan on increasing tank size within 1 or 2 years. The coral beauty has beeen in the tank for about 8 months. The coral beauty does not look to be harassing the mac...

About a week ago, I decided to add the final fish to my fish only tank...a juv. Yellowbar Angelfish. I know that he is supposed to be the most aggresive in the tank, which is why I put him in last, but he has yet to come out from the rocks. I would expect this from some of my fish (firefish...
