Just got my chiller from custon sea life drop in which just went bankrupt. It works great got home Monday night and it was 84 in the house and the tank was 80 degrees and everything looks great :D

I have 250k metal halides and 95 pc.

My BTA is on the move and can't seem to find a place to stay. He was in the same spot for 3 months and now is moving around again. I have checked all the water parameters and they are all fine and everthing else is the tank is fine. He is a good size and moves from the front of the tank to...

I removed my cc about 6 months ago and never removed anything from the tank. I have a 125 gallon with 100 of live rock and all I did was carefully scoop the crushed coral out by hand and put the washed sand in the same way. I did it in 1/2 one day and the other half the other day. No big deal...

Here is my 2 cents, I had a hair algea problem, I scrubed the rocks in the main tank installed a refuguim and started using r/o di water and my show tank is clear but I do have some in the refuguim. Not a big deal hasn't spread to my main tank again and it has been running for 4 months now...

It seem some of my live rock purple coraline algea is turning white any thoughts. I have been using calcium. Some of the coraline that is growing on the glass starts out purple then turn white. :(

A baffel is a partial wall that seperates your compartments in your sump. I would have it set up so the water is comming in the bottom of you refug and falling "like a waterfall" into your return pump, opposite of what you have right now. Mine works well like this and doesn't disturb the sand...

I will have to go look it was from Canada and bought off e-bay with a lot of good references. good luck I will get back to you.

I have a 3 seperate sump. 1st the skimmer, 2nd refug and 3rd the return. I have alot of water flow going though aprox 1200 gph. and have a deep sand bed that is not disturbed and doing quite well. I would suggest to put a baffel from the top of the sump to 2-3 inches from the bottom of the...

I just bought a ro/di unit as well 100gpd yeah right. I seem to be getting about 1/2 that which all depends on your water quality. I have alot of waste water and very little "clean water" which from a friend of mine who has the same unit is experiencing as well. I have a 4 stage unit(5) if...

I seem to be having the same problem. Only about 1/2 of it is extended. When I 1st put it in the tank everthing was awesome but I have done some changes with the flow and such, moving things around a little so I am just going to give it some time I did obtain this from someone local who had it...
