    Filtration for a RedSea Max 130?

    The RedSea Max is a great tank. However the stock filtration is less than desirable, but easily modified. The RedSea Max forum here, has just about every type of successful mod you can do to one, including filtration. Plus the members there are great! Always willing to help. Do a "search" and...

    Pumps for ASM skimmer

    I ran an ASM-G2 for two years, loved it. Are you sure it's the pump and not just the impeller? Mine would "Hang-up" every so often during start-ups after cleaning ect.. Impeller replacement worked like a charm.

    GFO in relation to Phosphates

    I did use 100+ lbs of dry pukani rock, but the HA grows on the back glass as oppose to the rock. I do get cyano on them still, after 8 months I would hope I'd be over this. This is the first time setting up a tank with dry rock.. All my others would be looking great (even though young) by this...

    GFO in relation to Phosphates

    I've heard this argument before, but I find it hard to believe. If the algae is using it, shouldn't there atleast show up as trace amounts? Is there another direction I should be looking? I just really want to solve this.

    GFO in relation to Phosphates

    My 200 has been up since this past Feb. I use both carbon and GFO in seperate BRS reactors along with a 75g sump/ fuge.

    Coral feeding help needed

    I've never been big on feeding my corals, but I need to change that. I'm getting more into the SPS, Favias and Brains. "Feeding" my tank will help my Zoas too. I've held on to several of my favorite softies during my upgrade to my 200, but never really fed them directly in the 120. I'm wanting...

    240g Set up questions

    I should be getting my 240 in this weekend and not sure on several things. I've yet to decide on a return pump (or pumps). The over-flows are @ each end of the tank (96x24x24). I'm looking into using a 90g AGA as my sump/ refugium. Any thoughts? Should I be considering external pumps?
