Ive been using a Reef Devil in a 55gal tank with a relatively low bioload for about two and half years now. It works well for me.

Hi. I have a 55gal reef tank that has been running for about 3 years now. I have a plenum and about 45lbs of LR that have been in the tank since I set it up. I currently only have mushrooms, anthelia (Ill get to that later) and one star polyp coral. I had a pseudochromis but he died after about...

I have been dosing Kalk with my Nurce for about six months now. I too have some kalk precipitate at the bottom of the container. It doesnt seem to hurt anything.

My 55gal reef has been set up for about a year now. Ive got 60lbs of live rock,a plenum,one fish and one coral. Ive also got a bunch of snails and hermits. Over the last couple of months I have noticed a bunch of small (<1/8 inch) light brown cylindrical objects all over the place. None of the...

The Royal Gramma is a great fish. I have had mine for about two months. He is the only fish in a 55gal reef so I cant really comment on his ability to get along with other fish. He is not destructive and eats like a pig.

I need to move the location of my Nurce. The problem is that I need about five feet of tubing length. Aqualan does not divulge the size o fthe tubing used for their systems. This is their way of trying to ensure that you buy tubing from them. I dont have a huge problem with that except for the...

The sand is aragamax but I dont think that the sand is the source of the problem. It looks like the hermits are picking pieces of the live rock off.Thanks in advance fo rany advice.

I recently set up(6 months ago) a 55 gal tank with about 60lbs of live rock and a plenum in it. The rock is about 70% covered with coraline. My problem is that I have a constant snow storm of fine particulate matter that circulated in the upper one third o fhte water column. I thought it would...

I would love to keep an urchin in my tank but I keep reading conflicting info about them. Some say that certain species are "reef safe" and others say that I should avoid all of them like the plague. What do you guys think? I love my LFS but they dont seem to confident in their knowledge of the...

Thanks for taking an interest! My tank is 55 gal with a sandbed/plenum, 50 lbs of LR,ETS reef devil, 4X 55 watt PC running 12hr/day. The tank ran for a month with no life in it. I just added the cured LR and the lights about two weeks ago. Initially there was a bloom of diatoms. Now there is...

My new tank is going though algae blooms. I have some snails and hermits in the tank. Can/Should I add any algae eating fish to the tank? I have about 15 snails and 10 hermits in a 55gallon. Do i need to add more? The hair algae is running wild!

I just started a 55gal tank with a 4 inch sandbed/plenum. 10 days ago I added 55 pound of LR from Premium Aquatics. I now have green algae all over the place. Some of it looks bubble algae but the majority of it looks like little ferns. It grows on the rock, the glass, and the sand. I put 20...
