Welcome to NJRC. Your tank looks great. So how long have you been running the 90/75 system?
Note: If the answer is longer than 2 months, it's time to upgrade again!
Hi Sandee, welcome to NJRC. Sorry to hear about your troubles in your nano. I've never used a skimmer in mine, so I can't comment as to whether or not the one you used caused your problem.
I read your list of tanks, though! Holy Smokes you have a lot of them!
Welcome again.
Hi Bill. Welcome to NJRC. Good luck with this new venture. Keep us posted (with plenty of pics ;D) and feel free to ask any quesitons you may have along the way.
I'll go with duncans and eunicid also. The worm we had never did any real damage, we thought, so we left him alone. Then one day we came home and found our Welsi brain looking in obvious distress. The thing was torn up in the center with long fillaments coming out of the hole. In the center of...
You gotta check this out. It's a little over 8 minutes long but WELL worth it. Some retired guy on safari caught what National Geographic is willing to pay tons for!

Good luck selling the other pump. I know this sounds weak right now but just remember, at some point you're gonna get it all worked out and finally be happy with the results. I know how much it sux to be in the middle of it when it's happening, though.
I'm thinking you're going to need something stronger than a Mag9. Using two pumps may work put now you're talking about increased heat in the tank and increased electrical costs. Could be other issues too, but those are two that jump to mind right off the bat.
I'm a big proponent of an...
That looks much safer! And now for the stupid question (but I figure I better ask): The drawing shows your drain lines coming out of the bottom of the tanks. Do you plan on using standpipes or something? I guess I'm just checking to make sure you're pulling water from the top of the tank and not...
Your tanks look great, Derek. I like that duncan colony (at least I think that's what it is) in the 125. As a single polyp they don't do much for me but as a colony they're really nice looking. I liked the slideshow too. The quality of the pics was good but I really liked the pace of it. Each...
I'm trying to think this through. On the surface it sounds like a really cool concept. I'm just having trouble visualizing whether or not you'll have any issues if the two pumps aren't running at the same rate. It seems to me if one is running faster than the other, you have the potential of...
Erna, I'm a mask wearer and SWEAR BY IT! It took me a good six months to get completely used to it but now I couldn't imagine life without it. If I'm sleeping over somewhere, even just for one night, it comes with me.
I think it's actually helped out with a lot of other problems I was having...
A good substitute for the reducing couplers is reducing bushings. Lowes and HD always have them (they seem to be the generally accepted replacement to the couplers). I'm not sure of your application and if you can use them or not, though.
