So I just added the WXM to my setup. I was able to get one of my Vortex hooked in and working fine. When I try the procedure to get the second one online it will not talk with the WXM. Not sure whats is wrong because both these pumps were bought at the same time and were working in a...

I have had a rose tip bubble anemone for about 6 months now. Since my tank is new I have gone through a few sets of clownfish (sickness), two weeks ago I bought two tank bred maroons who are great but ignored the anemone. This morning one of them is sleeping in the anemone, just great. My...

Just curious what percent of total system volume people change and how often. Right now I am doing about 18% every two weeks. My bio load is extremely low as my system is only a few months old and I have zero fish, about 1/2 dozen corals. I was thinking of increasing to about 30% every...

I have a weird situation the last two days where my protein skimmer overflows with foam and then dump water into the collection cup. It is pure white foam and clean water but it fills the cup within 2 minutes that it is not usable. The unit is a trigger system bursa skimmer and I have never had...

I hear so many different takes on this and was just wondering what people's experiences were. Additionally from a sizing perspective how have people dealt with this piece of equipment? I read that some folks only run them for a few hours a week, so do you purchase a smaller unit that the...

What are peoples take on these critters? Are they bad or not? I read conflicting reports on line. I already have an arrow crab in my tank, and everyone says they will eat them. But I have only seen a single one so far and it hasn't moved. Thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I am taking the kids down to the Camden aquarium tomorrow and the Hidden Reef would only take me about 15 minutes out of the way (on the way home). I have never been to this place before and was just curious if it is worth the stop. Thanks

So I was doing my weekly inspection of my gear and noticed a drop forming on one of my drain lines. I use a 2 foot flexible hose for my daring line and it appears there is slight tear somewhere. I am hoping to run out and find exactly what I need so I can replace it tonight, just not...

Ok since I lost my fish to ICH a few weeks ago I have let the tank sit and just let it age out. I have done two water changes and maintained all my levels. Now its time to start thinking about adding critters. I am leaning towards the FOWLR because I am nervous about getting a sickness again...

My blue starfish today has a crack in one of its legs and is oozing some white stringy substance. Not in the best place for me to take a picture, but it does move from one place to another, just seems really strange. Should i just wait and leave it be? Will its death like this harm my tank...

Appears that my hippo and Kole tangs have ICH. What medicines have people had success with? I do have inverts in my tank so copper is out of the question. Anyone have good experience with the Ruby Reef Kick-Ich or other medicines? Thanks

Did a water change today, about 14% of total volume. I made sure the salinity and temp were extremely close. My anemone has pulled itself completely in. Is this normal? I hope it isn't on its way out and its just not happy with the change. Any experiences like this...

What are peoples experiences with using these two pieces? I know carbon is a good thing to have somewhere in your filtration but I have never used GFO. I am purchasing a phosphate test kit to see if i really need it but wanted to get some opinions on whether or not people are using these, and...

I started my 180 gallon tank about 3 weeks ago. The room has a ceiling fan and AC in it. My temp gets up to about 82.4 every day, and I am debating as to whether or not I need a chiller. I have 4 AI Sol Blues above the tank, going to be raising them up to about 10" over the weekend. Do...
