Hello there, I have a red scooter blenny (Synchiropus stellatus) that has some kind of disease behind its fins, forward of the caudal peduncle area on the right-hand side. The pictures below are of the best quality that my camara can take, and I understand it is not good at all. It looks...

Ok I got one for ya. If the power goes out, the pump turns off. The backsiphon and everything are A: O.K. until the power comes back on. Then, the pump turns back on, and floods the tank because the siphon for the stack hasnt restarted. Is there some sort of breaker that I can use in the case...

ouch that is the suck. We had bad storms here earlier and I was sure that the power would go out but it didnt. If my tank overflows the wife is going to kill me. My original shrimp was a skunk cleaner, and he died due to too quick of a salinity change during gravel removal. the second one was a...

thank you =) Im sure I will have a syringe full of reef soon too, if not already. The wife says im obsessed, and my tank pales in comparison to the rest of you guys lol. My current issue here (as of today 10 Aug 2006) is diatoms. The hair algae has since left due to rapidly declining nitrates...

Ah I see. So my adjusting all night was for no reason, grr. It eventually settled out and I think it was the height of the siphon pipe to the "sump" fuge. testing example :A HREF="http://www.reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=90965">my tank</A: <A...

Man. I installed my pre-plumbing on the front side for ease of maintenance setting it up and glad I did. At first I had just the overflow into the top, and plumbing to the bottom, with the pump recirculating the water back to the top. This gave me a good mixture in the water (did some added...

Sorry for not replying sooner. the sump I have installed atm is a 20 gallon high tank, with under/over baffles into the fuge area, and over/under baffles to the pump. What happens is this turns the 20g/h into a 20g sump with a 10gallon refugium area. The first problem is that it is too small of...

Hey there! I have a 125 gallon reef tank, and I am creating a double stack, (two 29-gallon tanks, one on top, and one inside an iron cage stand.) I can work on F-15 aircraft no problem, but I have little plumbing experience. I created a manifold for my tank, but linking 3 tanks together is a...
