Euroreef Skimmer...RS 100 Venturi w/ needle wheel 150 gal reef/fish tank 6yrs old....seems to work well, although I have nothing to compare it to...its the only one I've ever owned. I never have to adjust it, always emptying cups of smelly brown stuff, I clean out whole skimmer about once a...

I wash them in the washing machine with bleach and soap. Never had a problem. I also use plain white sweat socks...cheaper and works almost as well. LFS told me to try it and it works fine. I also use bleach to clean my Magnum micron cartridge. Instructions tell you to do so. Never had a...

I have 150 reef tank. It's been up and running for one year. I notice hundreds of small snails all over the tank at night...they've made it to my fuge too. They only come out at night in the main tank. They don't seem to get any bigger either. Do I leave them be? Will they cause any...

I use 250W BlueLine E ballasts with XM 10000k bulbs. They look white and I have had good results. I have also used BlueLine 14000k bulbs which have a blue tint. I run 3 MH and 2 VHO super actinics on my 150. The outer two MH are XM 10000k and the middle is BlueLine 14000K...we like the...

I use a Spectapure RO unit....very happy with it. Why buy a unit that someone slaps their name on it. Spectrapure makes their own units and has been in business a long time...very good customer service too

I have used Kick Ich with great results. I have a 3 1/2 month old reef tank with fish, inverts, corals and feather duster. Nothing died while treating tank. all fish looked great after treatment. Must finish treatment as recommended on bottle to ensure it doesn't come back.

Yes the blue maxima kept falling over on it's side. I would stand it upright and over a week or so noticed he was deteriating until it died. I plan on getting other corals with time and an anemone...thus the lighting. what do you feed frogspawn and the clams? I have been using DT's and...

Emerald Crab shouldn't harm the corals & will eat bubble algae. I have one and hasn't bothered any of mine.

Yes it will. I had done the same thing...only my rock was dried out for 10 years. I'll be damned if I was gonna sell the rock back to the LFS for $1 a pound for the rock I paid $6 a pound. I recently bought a 40 salt water tank with about 25 pounds of live rock in it from someone at work...

Greetings, :D Where can I learn what would be the best way to plumb my 150 AGA w/ twin megaflow overflows to my acrylic fuge? I have 2 seperate feeds with bulkheads from each side of the tank feeding water to the fuge, and the fuge is set up to accept 2 seperate lines with bulkheads at one...

thanks Trido, the top off system you recommended looks reliable. what does IMO mean? The fuge will be place directly below the tank in a cupboard, not in the basement...will the Mag 12 be powerful enough for corals, etc? I plan on having a large container of purified top off water & salt...

thanks Louie, I checked out your thread....wow! What is Starboard? Since you don't use any substrate is that why you need the Ca reactor and kalk? Will I need either or both of these? I really didn't want to use both RO & DI. I was hoping someone would recommend DI alone as good enough...
