A new skimmer is what I'll invest in! Hopefully that will do the trick. Any of you guys have a Aqua-C Remora or Urchin? I want something slim and med range in price. I plan to eventually upgrade to a larger tank in a year or so when I move from Hawaii to the mainland. I will probably keep my 65...

I was looking at a Aqua-C Remora today. That would give me more room in my sump and replace my Seaclone. It hasn't been working all too well since I cleaned it. I just cant seem to get it tuned in. My worries are that the Aqua-C is sort of loud (based on reviews) and the price is fairly steep...

My tank is 65 gallons with a Pro Clear model 75 wet/dry filter which I believe is about 9-10 gallons volume. I have my pump and a seaclone skimmer all crammed into the right side with some empty space on the left. The left side is empty now that the bio-balls have been removed. Water just...

Definetly, Im not too familiar with the base though. Are they hard to collect? Do you collect them yourself? If so, maybe I could join you sometime to collect.

Ok, thanks...now that you mention there is alot of crap that goes in the water once I dump in the Brine! I'll definetly strain it prior too letting it go into my tank... I do feed them nori on a clip about once a week. Do you feed your fish daily or feed them once every two days or so on? I...

ok, I plan on doing a 30% water change this Saturday. I get my water from the Waikiki aquarium and I use R/O water for my fresh water. Recently my Nitrates were high at 40 PPM and Nitrites at zero. Is it because of the Bio-balls? You mentioned before to remove them. Do I remove them all at once...

Hey, thanks for the help on the rocks and forums...It's good to find other people in Hawaii going through the same issues as I'am. Let me know how that rock is once you recieve it, Im definetly interested in some new rocks for my tank!

Thanks, I'll definetly check it out. I guess Ill order 80 pounds or see if someone else wants half of it for there tank!

I would be interested in some more Zoa's if possible? Anything that would make my tank look better then some "weak live rock" that I have slowly seasoned myself through live sand and a few small rock rubble pieces that I found. It is very frustrating. By the way Im stationed at Pearl, Submarine...

Hello, I was hoping someone could help me out with this. "If you're military heres a good thing to know. While there arent any reefs around here to worry about damaging, only military police have jurisdiction on the base beaches. Theres lots of stray live rock close to shore you can collect...

Hello, I live in Oahu and Im having trouble finding stuff for my tank also, I have not heard of the Molakai farm. I tried to order stuff from the big island at IPSF.com but they would not ship to the other islands. It is almost impossible to have a nice tank here(Thats Legal). I have "live rock...

I have a 65 gallon tank with a aquatics wet/dry filter a aquamarine skimmer in sump, uv sterilizer and good circulation in tank (5 powerheads). I recently rinsed off the bio-balls off in saltwater and removed a ton of grunge that had been there for a while, I also did a 20% water change about a...

Now that my lights are all set-up and my cooling issues seem to be in check. I was wondering what reccomendations you guys have for run times for my lights. They are on timers now but what is the recommended kick on/kick off times you use? Right now I have my acitinics come on first at 0900 and...

Thanks for the help with my lights, I suspended it from the ceiling and it looks and operates great. My zoanthids/sea mats really opened up after a day or two with the new light. My tank is a bit warmer now, it got up to 81 degrees, I placed a frozen bottled water in the sump to help slowly cool...
