Scrubbing your rock is not a bad thing necessarily. It will get rid of a large portion of the hair and as long as you are not going overboard, i.e. using a wire brush or all your strength, it can help. BUT it will only help if you eliminate the cause of the nitrate build up. Removing the...

two ballasts would do it 8)

I also disagree. It can be done as is shown at the site below. http://www.palmettoreefs.com/gallery/paul/Paul.htm

Friday,I was in Tropicorium and they had a few different colors of ricordia polyps, and I am pretty sure they ship. http://www.tropicorium.com/

reefsRcool is right. The overflow will only return to the sump what the Dolphin pumps back to the tank. You are all set to go. 8)

I've have had a rolling(2 wheel) 32G can filled with salt water tip over in a hall way and soak the carpet in 3 bedrooms 8O 8O and then gravity feed thru the floor into the basement to create more cleaning pleasure. :( That was not the best day of my life and my wife was pleased as well. The...

I have had one for close to 9 months and I would have to agree that they are very shy. He is in a FOWLR with a couple of skunk cleaner shrimp and he has never bothered a soul. They only get about 7-8 inches long and mine seems about as big around as maybe 2 pencils. The genuine maletremus...

IMO in a lot of ways rock is rock. You will see all different names for it but that is mostly just an indication of the area from which it was collected. Sometimes it can indicate a particular shape, like Tonga Branch, but the visual difference is usually not great. The biological value of...

sMARTY IMO you would not have a problem with the addition of 6-12 cleaner shrimp to your 180. Cleaner shrimp, or any shrimp for that matter, are not generally thought of as being a significant part of the bioload of a system. I have had as many as 5 shrimp in a 55G with no problems. Go for...

PhoenixSun, I have had one in my 55G FOWLR and Mushroom tank for about a year. Very cool eel. He has never bothered anyone and eats well. There max size of about 7-8 inches makes them the perfect eel for a reef or FO tank. I agree with danmhippo, never say never, but their small size makes...

I've dealt with both Premium and FFE and my results have been good. Jason at Premium has awesome customer service.

I agree with slk3599. Leo, you are the only one lowering himself by calling names. It is quite childish and does nothing to gain you any support for your ideas. It only serves to eliminate any credibility you might have.

KananKeban, I can't help but notice that your surface skimmers, which I agree with henkelsfamily1 are unnecessary in a sump/refugium, are very close to the top of the design. Be very sure that in the event of a power failure your sump will be able to handle the overflow from your tank...

Relax Rich , people will continue to answer your question. This is good info to understand for those of us that are interested. I personally don't have any type of wave maker on my 55g but I have a empty 125g sitting in my living room waiting for the $$$ to set up properly and I intend to...
