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 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...

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...

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...

I have had this rust colored algae growing on my sand (along with some cyano) and partially on my live rock. It has been around from 1-2 months. My Nassarius snails seem to stay away from this. Any suggestion what this might be, and how I might be able to fix this? I am currently using a...

I am in debate over the what the best clown will be for my RBTA and the rest of my fish in the aquarium. It is a 100 gallon tank and only has 1 Sailfin tang, 1 coral Beauty, and 1 Royal Gramma. I have a RBTA (about 5-6") and I was wondering which clown would be best for this set up. I was think...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone can give me some feedback on an anemone situation. I recently put in a RBTA and he was doing fine. He had great bubble tips, but I would try to feed him, but he wouldn't take any food. I come home today and he has shrunk up and the base of his...

Is there a limit to the number of anemones one can put in a tank. Obviously there is, but what is the opinon of the number of anemones? My tank is about 100 gallons, just to give you some sort of reference. Thanks Brian

I need some help in designing a refrugium for my 100 gallon saltwater tank (32x32x24). It is set up under a Berlin system and has a Aqua-medic turboflotor on the side as a hang on. I have 4 power heads that run the current. I want to put on a hang on refugium that will efficently filter my size...

Any recommendations to stir up the sand....any critters??? I don't want it to become stale over time Thanks

I just purchased a coral beauty and I noticed a scar on the side of the fish. It could be my imagination, but it looks like the scar is becoming more distinct the more I look at her. She is swimming and eating fine. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Has anyone ordered from saltwaterfish.com. Do they carry good quality fish? I have heard that the fish come sick. Any thoughts, experiences?
