Anyone have experience with AquaC EV180 skimmer? I'm using the required Mag 7 pump. Makes nice foam but next to nothing gets up into the cup. I have adjusted the waste gate from wide open which sets the water level to 1 inch below the reaction chamber as per instructions. and I have closed the...

Can anemones be upside down? I ask because this morning when I turned the lights on I discovered that it moved all the way across the tank. I've only had it for a couple of days so I am sure it is trying to find a place where it ill be happy. It's a Sabae Anemone. Anyway, when the lights came on...

Hello all. The only protein skimmer I've ever owned is 20" (120 gal) hang-on-back by US Aquarium. I suspect that it's not such a great skimmer but am unsure what to expect since this is the only one I've ever used. I can say for sure that the RIO 600 pump that it uses is a piece of junk. So, I'd...

A few zoo shots. The first two pictures are the new zoos I got a few days ago. They are the larger kind, with a disk the size of a...

Our tapwater test was pretty much a success. I did find one flaw in my design but it is easily remedied and best that I do it now instead of later. Details and photos at http://www.cearbhaill.com/tapwater_test.htm If anyone sees anything in any of my photos that I have done incorrectly please tell...

Today I wanted to add a couple of power heads to my reef. Like a dumb $h!+ I put them in the tank and plugged them in to make sure they worked. While I placed them and was trying to hide the cords behind rockwork, they unded up pointing downward and stirring up about half of my DSB. Should I be...

This is going to seem like a stupid question but what is the proper way to feed one of these. I purchased one from the LFS for $1.99 on sale and was like ok cool good deal. Well I get it home and this thing is a cannibal. After acclimation I dropped it in the tank and right away it jumped right...

I've got this black algae type growth on all my live rock. It's a 100g tank about 1 year old. Other algae is under control, but this black scum is taking over. Help anyone???!!!???

Have durso standpipe. Am attempting to fine tune the length of the pipe as regards overflow height. http://www.rl180reef.com/pages/standpipe/construct-standpipe.htm . Using the "tee" (#5)on the durso as a reference, where exactly should the waterline in the overflow be? Halfway up the tee- keeping...

Anyone have some pics of a DIY Wet/Dry filter application? -- RedForeman ©®

I will make a long story as short as possible here. I purchased a 90 acrylic tank from BLUE SIERRA in Issaquah, Wa. on 9/17. Since then I have built my stand, hood, wired all the electric in the stand including a PLC to run things, plumbed everything and all the while curing 90lbs of new live...

Today I noticed what looks to be a case of popeye in my Albino Oscar. What is the best cure? I've done a 20 % water change. I've looked around the net but thought I'd ask some people with experience. :-) thanks MH

my poor sailfin tang found its way into my powerhead today...he's alright, but his top fin is rather bent up...so now I guess I need to put a tube or something on the input of my powerhead...poor thing, it's got ich and now a bent fin...:(

My son recently asked Me what kind of fish gil was,I had THOUGHT it was an angel of some sort...but haven't found any evidence supporting that theory....any ideas?

I added a long flat piece of live rock two days ago and today I noticed that underneath on the bottom of it are a bunch or larger air bubbles. Is this an indicator of something wrong?

I have had an explosion of growth in my CPR skimmer of all places. They are little white "blobs" or egg shaped things for lack of a better description, with a crown on top , they are the weirdest things I have seen, they look like an oval with a fuzzy little crown on top, any...
