    I can validate the benifits of removing the bio filter as I was suffering from cyanobacter all over my tank in the fourth month.

I must say he is quite the character at about 1 1/2" - 2", this fish will sit on a "perch" and watch everything...

    DSB in the Max

    I too am running a refugium inside the RSM stand using a 24 gallon JBJ nano with a DSB. I must say within days, I noticed a remarkable improvement to my main display tank. I was having a terrible time with Cyano and just couldn't shake it. I removed all filter media from the RSM except the...

    Re: RSM mods Added homemade overflow using hang on specimin container with a bulkhead drilled into the bottom and a stand pipe. This feeds a JBJ 24 gallon nano sitting inside the stand under RSM. The return from 24 gallon nano is fed to a chiller then to the tank. The 24 gallon nano is purely...
