    How long to quarantine?

    Had my blue spot in QT for two weeks now. Doing well, although it seems lethargic/depressed. I can feed it mysis soaked in Selcon and garlic from a turkey baster, but the rest of the time it just sits there. It's in a QT w/ PVC pipe, but I added a container of sand and rubble. Fish wouldn't...

    Cleaning back glass and skimmer grate

    I have let the coralline (and other stuff) grow on the back wall of my RSM 250, but have decided that it would probably look better clean and black again. At least my preference. I can scrape the glass, but how to I clean the outlet nozzles and the plastic skimmer grate? I don't want to...

    Rerstad's RSM 250

    Got my RSM 250 delivered on Thursday and set up with 50+ pounds of live rock as well as live sand on Friday. Added some snails and hermit crabs over the weekend. Totally new to salt water aquariums, so learning a lot. Now waiting to get to the exciting part of adding fish and corals!

    How long for skimmer to "produce" gunk?

    I set up my RSM 250 with 50+ pounds of cured live rock on Friday. Added a few snails and hermit crabs over the weekend. My skimmer appears to be working, but the foam does not rise enough to flow into the cup and it appears very white and light. How long does it take to start producing or do I...
