Thanks all, and again its a valuable lesson but now I am just a little bit smarter.

Thanks all for your kind advice. And Seamainden I agree with you to get my husbandry up to snuff. Although I have had a 20 Gl Nano reef set up for nearly a year with great success I am new to having a bigger FOWLR tank, about 2 months new. Like any newbie I made 2 mistakes that I read here and...

Help.......after loosing 3 fish, CBB, Maroon Clown, and a Coral Beauty Angel to the dreaded Ich I decided to scratch the meds and setup a quarentine / hospital tank. I'm using hyposalinity of 1.009 in it and after it cycles wil move my remaining fish, Maroon Clown, Yellow Tang, Filefish into it...

Hi MarkO, I too just added a fuge about 1 week ago and now my Xenia looks awful. Before the addition of my fuge the Xenia was growing like mad. However I also started using Red Sea Salt instead of IO that I thought might of been the culprit. Has your Xenia rebounded OK?

Thanks Monkeyboy, is it highly suggested to 'suck' the air out? I didn't do it. Where is Feeding Hills, MA ? I live in Woburn, MA about 12 miles North of Boston.

Hey Monkeyboy, I quess your right about the siphon, it may be a little misleading becasue the main chamber of the fuge is higher than the main tank so it appears that it just flows in but the siphon chamber water is the same level as the main one indicating that it does use a siphon. What is a...

I too considered using an AC500 for a refuge but the cost wasn't much different to buy an AquaFuge HOB Refugium. So I did today purchase the 18" one for my 20 Gl Nano and I love the design of it. It cost me about $120 from InlandReef as opposed to about $70 for the AC500. Even if you did get...

I have a 20 Gl Nano tank that is about 5 months old. I just recently set up a 10 Gl Refugium/Sump underneath my 20, it is cycling right now with two raw shrimp cocktails in it. It is not connected to the main tank yet because I'm not sure how I want to do it. I have read that people use an...

Thank you all

Hello All, I've heard that a 4"DSB for a 20 Gl tank is useless. It should be in a tank at least 35 or 40 gl (As quoted by Dr. Ron) to sustain adequate critters for BioFltration. Question is I was wondering how deep everyone would suggest the Sand Bed be to have along with 20# LR and a skimmer...

Anyone out there use the PreSkimmer for the Remora Skimmer? I am trying it in a 20 Gl high setup and it is frickin huge. I don't think it is worth using because it is so big but I like the option of being able to add in media if needed.
