yeah mine took a powerhead as a host . he sleeps on top of it. its a normal for clownfish to sleep sideways toward the top of the tank. I have a 300gallon and a 100 gallon refugium . what s weird is I have 3 clown fish one female and two males. One of the males somehow jumped over into my...

thanks for the responses. I dont really know what they are. I do feel that they are brine. I also have mysis shrimp. maybe they are baby clowns but highly unlikely. I wish i could take a pic. Ive been looking at my tank closely and these shrimp are basically just everywhere taking over. I also...

I would go with an aqua C remora. Very simple . go with a good pump mag 9 I have this running on my 300gallon sytem. Also have a knop on the outside of my tank. here is a pic. Ive had this skimmer for 5years now. still works. I just change out the RIO pump. I know should stay away from Rio. I...

. My 300 gallon tank consist of about 12 fish. Mostly giant tangs and clownfish. two large Angels also. Ive had my current set-up for about 8 months now. I was feeding my fish live brine shrimp a few months ago. Now I have colonies of brine shrimp living and breeding in my main tank. I know...

Thanks for the responses. I think im going to put in a solar system on my roof. Im not sure if I will need a chiller. last year I had my 100gallon and ran two large fans on the tank. I probaly will do the same. In summer I will not run heaters. My MH lights will heat up the water enough. I...

Make sure you are at the same temperatures when mixing your water. You should be fine. Good Lukc

you might want to hold off on changing the cannister filter. it wouldnt hurt using some high quality carbon and putting it in a nylon sock. and placing in a med flow area in your tank.. skim wait for 24 hours should settle down and maybe add more rock or get a small over the back micro fuge...

you could do a small water change. make sure the temp and salinity are the same. you need to get a salifert test kit. ph should be 8- 8.2 your ok. how does your corralline growth look like?

I live in Southern california and yes my heaters are set to 82-- its been in the 40-50 s out here . My tank is in the garage. Ive turned down the light cycle . Ive also installed PC light bulbs throughout the house.

I would plumb with 1inch flexible pvc . it works great and you will be able to get away with less 90 degree elbows... i have hard line s and hard pipe as well

Thanks . Im cutting down on the photoperiod. need the heaters. its been cold out here lately. yeah it snot cheap having a 300gallon tank.

he either jumped or is under a rock.

I would love to replace the mags. but they are in sump pumps. my sump is a 100gallon glass tank. not drilled. any in-sump pumps using less wattage? I followed the thread on only 3hours of light. Im going to dial down my light. To one hour less on each light. This should help me out/...
