I want to utilize a skimmer I built but it calls for a RIO 2500. I don't want to use a RIO but would rather use an equal pump with a needle wheel that has an air intake on the pump rather than use an air venturi.

Was informed this Yuma is rare for it's color but I had to question the seller if it was fading in orange color. What's your opinion on the condition? TIA

Trying to battle why I get micro bubbles in my main display tank only when the lights are on. The bubbles are mostly attaching to my frags on a frag rack thats at the top of my tank. During the lights off cycle there are no accumulation of bubbles. I do have a refugium with macro algae, live...

Here's a timer I modified and improved the performance. A buddy sent me a Word document on how to build it. If you use 2 timers alternately with 2 Maxi Jets and a Sure Flow mods you'll have a wavermaker every 30 seconds back and forth. I'm in process of altering the time to 15 seconds each, off...

I bought a small container of Coral Frenzy as a real treat for my corals. It states to use 1/4 tspn to 50 gallons so I made up an amount for my 90 gallon tank.

Do you feel it's necessary to rinse frozen fish foods thru brine shrimp nets? From what I understand some contain some nasty stuff like super high phosphates tho Hikari is pretty safe as well as some other that make claim. Does that mean that the fish goo I got from the last reefer cookout is...

I decided to give a new twist for a needlewheel mesh mod for a Sedra 3500 attached to a Euroreef 100 Skimmer. I added two layers of mesh mod to the needlewheel. It would only allow me to do two layers due to the needles taking up space to allow a third layer. The mesh had to be pushed down...

Got myself registered and logged in today. Had quite a few welcomes to the forum and requests or I think it's more curiosity about seeing what kind of tank I have. Not a problem so I attached a few pictures below of my 90 gallon tank that I just started in March of 2007. So does that qualify me...

Picked up a used T5 lighting system for a reasonable price knowing the connections for the lights were corroded due to being exposed to an open tank and the lights had no acrylic protective cover to prevent the evaporating water from migrating above. I partially disassembled the unit to remove...
