    HUH? What?? len, you don't know what jewel is talking about? It says that for further details it is advisable to do a google search. That was one of the more comical responses I have ever read! I agree with the answer especially the red dirt part!! Also I thought that the reddick neck...
  4. Overflow questions.

    I agree with horse here. get a scraper and take off the coraline algea. it comes off easy enough with some elbow grease. if your friends have no coraline then they aren't doing something right or they take it off. also my brother had a HOB refugium. It was extremely lame. it never ever...

  8. BUG BOMBS!!!!

  20. Coming back after a 20 year break, looking for advice.

    yes you mention you want the skimmer under the tank with a canister filter, why don't you scratch the canister and do a cheap home made fuge so you can store your skimmer and even your heater in there as well.
