Once again I need your help. I have lots of bubbles showing up in the display tank. Below is the image of my fuge & sump: There are at least three potential areas were bubbles are getting created. First in the fuge where the water enters (circled in the picture). I am not sure if these...

Really? I tried this once before. I became belligerent and lethargic.

Alright, I give up. How can add an avatar to my profile?

May be you should add a Reef Clause in your pre-nup. ;D All kidding aside, I am just wondering, why cant we explore the possibilities of adding a blog feature on this website? With so many people starting their tank threads, I think it may be a great idea. We can make it as a members only...

Instead of figuring out how to import all your existing pages to blog, you two can start a new tank to blog about it. Just a thought. :)

It is a 75 gallon tank with about 4 to 5 inches of non-live sand that I picked up from Homedepot. I added about three cups of live sand from display just yesterday to seed it. I also moved some live rock from my display to the fuge since I felt the display was too crowded. I am expecting a...

This is great news... My wife, kids & my manager would be thrilled to hear this. Another cool thing to keep me engrossed all the time. ;D

Matt, I have read before that bacteria lives in the rock and substrate and not in the water. That is why when we setup a saltwater tank first, once the tank is cycled, before adding livestock, it is recommended to go for a big water change not worrying about any bacteria loss. Based on that...

The water in the refugium is all salt mixed already, the temperature is set and the powerheads are running in it. I threw in a dead fish for good measure (what am i going to do with those dead fish anyway). I am not allowed to work on diy projects during weekdays, so I have time till this...

I was recommended in RC that it is better to keep the fuge separately from sump. Since sump will get dirty sooner or later, a separate fuge is easier to maintain. Of course, only if you have room to add a separate fuge. Just my 0.02.

John and others are going to recommend to increase the size from 1" to 1.5" or more right after the pump and reduce it right before the tank. I would suggest to do a diagram first of what you are planning to do. You can use a software like powerpoint to do that. When I first started my...

Somewhere I read that the most stupid question is the one that is not asked. So here we go: Should I cycle a fuge before introducing it to the system? When I added a new sump I assumed since it is really a big water change, I made sure the salinity & temperature matched that of the display...

Alright, Chromis it is!

I hooked all the equipment back last night and corrected the excess water flow. I don't see sand storm no more. While I lost all fish, all inverts are doing just fine. I tested the water for PH and it showed a 8.0. I have not tested for anything else. I am going to do it tonight and get a damsel...

I did let the primer and cement cure for 2 or more hours. I did not run any tests with Fresh water.

Yes. I always waited 2 hours or more as recommended on the label.

This does not sound good. It is kinda hard to believe, because I have the habit of stirring up the DSB once in a while. I have a serpent star which stirs the bed all the time. I desperately want to believe it is the stopped water circulation and not a dsb crash. You are two hours away from...
