Apologies if this has been asked before.. I am looking to add a chiller to my MAX E170, and I was wondering what pump will actually fit in the rear sump for this? It looks like the top section of the media rack is where the pump is supposed to sit. I've read the those with the C250 use the...

Some of you may remember when I posted about trying to remove some green star polyps from my tank and how I got poisoned by palytoxin. Well, these polyps have pretty much taken over my tank. I know people say remove the rocks and use a blow torch to kill them, but that would mean tearing my...

I had some sort of green looking star polyps (not true GSPs, I don't know what they are) that were taking over my tank, so today I tried to remove as many of them as I could.. Within an hour, my Yellow Tang, who had been swimming around just fine earlier today, died. My hammer is expelling...

My new blenny (two weeks old) apparently jumped out of my tank and landed on top of the glass cover right under my T5 HOs. By the time I discovered this, he was stiff just like he'd been freeze dried... Aren't these guys supposed to stay near the bottom??

I am so extremely upset with myself. I did a water change last night, and thought I had gotten all of the salt dissolved and mixed well. As I ended pouring the new batch of water in, it suddenly turned into a river of salt and went right on my hammer. :cry1: This was by far my healthiest...

So I've had some cyano issues... I bought a blenny a couple of days ago (not really sure of the species.. he is clear, with some yellow striping and a little blue on him as well).. Within a matter of hours, the cyano on my sand was GONE, and it's still gone. I actually saw him eating the...

Does anyone know where I can buy an already made standpipe or gurgle buster for a LifeReef overflow?

I have two Koralia 3's for my 40g breeder, and no matter where I place them, it's just too much of a powerful flow. My corals look like a hurricane is hitting them! I replaced one of the the 3's props with a prop for a 2, and it's still too powerful. I just took the powerheads out. So at the...

As soon as I put my new hammer in, a peppermint started munching on it! Does this mean it was already sick? Is there anything I can do to save it? I put it in on Saturday, it was pretty full, now it is down to this. My Zoas, bubble, and Duncans are all doing fine...

This started growing on an old Cerith's shell, and is getting bigger.. Any ideas??

I bought my AquaC Remora before I decided to build a sump... Now that I have my sump going, I would like to get a true in-sump skimmer. I like the Remora, although it is a little loud, but I've gotten used to it. I like the ease of use, so I was thinking of just getting an Urchin...

I am by no means an artist.. I have tried all sorts of designs, but I keep coming back to this one... Everyone who looks at my tank likes this one the best too. It just seems like a lot of open space there in the middle. I have 25lbs of Marco rock coming next week, I plan on building up...

Anyone know what this is? I thought maybe Aiptasia at first, but my peppermints took care of all the Aiptasia I had within 6 hours of putting them in the tank. They leave this thing alone..

I have a question regarding the fuge area of a sump I'm designing.... The first area of the sump is the intake area, through a bubble trap, to the return, and then a baffle with the fuge. I will have no flow from the tank going directly to the fuge. I was thinking I would make the baffle...

I bought my fixture today, Aquaticlife T5 HO.. I really love the lights. I'm running with no cover, and I have a HOB power filter that produces a good amount of spray that is collecting on the splash guard of the fixture. Is this safe? I really don't want to put a glass cover on the tank...

I bought two Koralia 3s for my 40g breeder this weekend, but it seems like they are way too strong. Is that too much flow, or do I just need to play around with the positioning? Thanks!

So my first post here... I was given a 20g tank a week ago, and decided I'd give SW a shot. I bought 20lbs live rock, some live sand, and a Skilter 400 to get things going... Next day, I returned the Skilter! (if you've had one, you know why!).. I picked up a Marineland Bio-Wheel filter, and...
