I just posted a reef question earlier, but I forgot my most important question. My biggest concern is the environmental impact of this hobby. I have seen websites for companies that have tank-raised specimens, and that sounds good to me. I just could not stand contributing to over-harvesting just...

My tank I setup upstairs took a long time to be able to process and reduce ammonia, the nitrite and nitrates were unreadably high with my test kits, 3 days ago I put one of my "was dieing but now regrowing" live rocks in the tank, this morning there was no ammonia, no nitrites, and no nitrates.....

Here is a site that has several DIY projects that I've seen. I haven't tried any of the projects myself. http://www.aquariareview.com/DIY/Skimmers.htm Good Luck Darrin

There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief... I used to keep fish and I am interested in starting a 15-30 gallon or so reef with the Ecosystem method. I hear so many conflicting opinions about it that I am completely confused. I have a friend with a similar skimmerless refugium setup and he...

I've been having trouble with green algae growth on my sand bed the last couple months. I feed very little, my lights are only on about 10 hours a day and my skimmer is working great. My crabs and sand sifting star do a pretty good job of keeping things mixed up but I have to manually stir things...

Hi, First a little background. I have a 65 g tank (36" L,18" W,24" D). Currently I have two small hoods. One houses two 30W normal florescence bulbs and the other four 36W 50/50 PCs. Some time ago I acquired a few corals (green polyps, open brain and a cup coral) and started thinking...

I have a 215 gal Oceanic and am looking at the Tunze Turbelle products. Can anyone offer a suggestion as to if the stream kit, with 2 Turbelle stream 6100 2 * 3175 gal and Multicontroller, would be overkill? My concern is that with only one pump, controlling Cyanobacteria will be difficult on...
