I loose a gallon every 2 days or so. I do a light kalk mix dose of about 1 liter per day and just top off the other 1/2 gal with fresh water. Also I did end up replacing my pump with the mag 7. Originally it was a mag 5 I was mistaken.

Not really a hitch hiker but anyway... I was so exited to get back into the hobby I bought these guys but for the life of me can not remember their full names. If you could help me out with the common and/or scientific name for these guys it would put me at ease. Thanks.

Almost identical to my setup! Only difference is that I have the smaller tank as the sump. (That would be my recomendation.) I have the ocean runner 2500 connected to my turboflotor 1000. I don't have a skimmer output chamber, and I have a Mag return pump. As far as the Mag goes I have...

Was there a manufacturer's warranty with your purchase?

I originally got into the hobby looking to house an aggressive only tank. After doing research I determined the best filtration system would be DSB and live rock. Then began leaning towards a non aggressive FOWLR with possibility of a reef setup. I started with a 75 gal and 30gal sump. I...

I had my deep sand bed and live rock in a stagnant tank for a year and a half in my old 75. No heat or light just in the water. I recently set the up a 55 gal with the same set up that i had b4 since the tank was smaller I had extra sand I threw in a rubber storage bin. I'll keep that for...

Thanks guys. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Hopefully my tank conditions are right for 1 & 3. If #2 is majano, does it reproduce rapidly? Is it just hard to kill? Will it cause any damage? Why is it considered a nuisance?

I am on the verge of breaking in to a reef setup but as of right now I'm rolling with a FOWLR system. About a month ago I purchased various types of rock from a LFS. Recently I started noticing a few extras on the rock. Can you help out the ignorant? Thanks in advance! Not sure??? I can get...

Hello everyone! I recently decided to start up my tank again so my knowledge from previous research has deminished, soI coulduse your help. I currently have a Predrilled 55 AGAand a 40gal sump that contains my Turboflotor 1000 multi. My Aquabee has failed. I am looking for a replacement pump...

It's a little to late but I like to use contact paper on the back of the tank because you can allways remove it.

You will find none! I called every Home Depot and even the Southdown cement plant in Xenia OH. Unless you want to order it by the pallet($1,400) you won't find it here.

I got the live sand from my LFS Thank guys!

How can you tell if your seeded DSB has taken?????? I have a 4" DSB seeded w/ 5 lbs LS. I have no idea

I was reading advice given to a newbee about using RO water vs. Distilled to start out the tank. because Distilled causes algae problems. Well guess what I did!?!? I need some advice on getting rid of Cyano algae. I think thats it. It's the rust colored, fast spreading, choking blanket of...
