Foster & Smith have some small feather dusters listed. They're not in stock at the moment, so I left instructions to notify me when they get some in. The description states that these guys eat phytoplankton. Anyone have a URL for a source of this? George Patterson All successes in...

I am thinking about 5-10 gallon nano-reef tank but I would like to use HQI or Metal Halide lights. Smallest I have seen would be 75W bulbs - they seem to be too strong for a 16" long 5 gallons tank. Have you seen anything smaller than this on the market? Or nano-reef is destined to use power...

Pardon my ignorance, does a protein skimmer remove phosphate from a marine tank?

Moving across town. 70g reef, live rock, a few fish and corals. Live sand bed. I've moved tanks in the past with no live sand and plenty of rock and re-established them without a noticeable cycling. Just put everything back in the tank and it was ok. With the sand bed (and all the poisons...

I'm getting curious....having got the 15 gall nano tank up and running and my main issue being algae but very little else (I come from a freshwater tropical backgroud and algae is always an issue that needs to be beaten) I'm starting to wonder about the high tech stuff.... From some reading...

In keeping with the "I don't want to ruin his post" philosophy. Nope, I don't see. I took advice from trusted people with ideas that make sense. Not from complete boobs that vomit words with no evidence at all, other than "Try it, it'll work". I don't expect that the OP should believe what I...

Does anyone know of a reason why a phosphate reactor could not be used completely submerged? I'm thinking of hooking one up directly to a powerhead and dropping it in the trash can I use to mix up water for water changes. That way the phosphates will never get into my tank in the first...

hi, My skimmer is producing foam and brownish/greenish liquid in the cup. However, occasionally I get some little Islands of foam floating on the surface of my tank. I have a Remora Skimmer---should I adjust it in some way? thanks again--------------------

I'm having a problem with sponges, little white spots growing everywhere in my tank including among the corals. How can I get rid of them? beside picking one by one off the rocks. Thanks, Ruben

I recently replace some lighting on my 46g bowfront tank, leaving me no space for my Red Sea Prizm skimmer. My two options are a sump/overflow setup which I discard to avoid kids temptations( sump on floor level with easy access=swimming toys) ,the second was a non expensive skimmer small enough...

Just ordered stock from Vivid Aquariums. They had decent prices and the shipping cost is reasonable at ~$30. They use DHL for shipping, and they're fast and prompt. I ordered a fighting conch, two skunk cleaners, two firefish, two porcelain crabs, an electric blue hermit, and three feather...

I everyone, I'm new here and I do plan on adding all my tank info in the next topic but for now I just want to know why an airstone is recommended in a reef tank to raise the PH but I've so far never seen a pic of a tank with bubbles in the background. I have problems with my PH and have read...

Anybody here using reef sumps made by ESHOPPS ? Here is the link: http://www.eshopps.com/reefsump.php I saw them yesterday in a local pet store, they are quite expensive: RS-200 is about $200... I was wondering if they are good and if they can be purchased somewhere online little bit cheaper.

I am setting up my first tank. I found a used Aqua Medic Turboflotor 1000 with a Rio 2100 on ebay (one needle on the impeller is broken). When I set it up, it creates pea sized bubbles in the chamber, though not so many as to make it difficult to see though the chamber. At the LFS, I saw some other...
