Recently tried to set up the JBJ ATO system just like this picture shown on fostersmith website, but the water level difference between my reservoir and sump is siphoning the water back. Any ideas??? (other than setting up with the return nozel and drilling a hole to break the siphon)...

as soon as i dropped them in, they got a cube of mysis... i'd say they were well fed... i'll see how they behave tomorrow. if i see any more "nips" at corals, i'm gonna remove them immediately.

decided to add a few blue green chromis and noticed one of them nibbling on my monti digitata... has anyone seen this? i've got a bunch of other SPS in the tank and was wondering if i need to remove them. very disturbed.

anyone see a BTA sting a clam and kill it? just wondering if i should move the clam (crocea)...

Can anyone suggest the appropriate return pump size (GPH), for a sump that is 4 feet(that's from top of tank to the bottom of the stand). This would be for an overflow rated at 300 GPH. My question is how to match the overflow box rate and compensate for the return height back to the top of the...

Can anyone suggest an appropriate height (maximum) that the MH should hang without losing its effects. Have 250W 14K for a 24inch deep 37 gallon nano. I decided to hang it because of the heat. I have BTAs (mid), some SPS (towards the top), LPS (throughout), softies on bottom. I hung it about...

looks good... consider yourself lucky that the flame angel is not bothering the xenia. i had to remove my xenia and kenya tree because my flame was ripping it apart.

i'm going away for 4 days... unfortunately i can't find anyone to come over and do the daily chores for my tank. anyone have suggestions? i'm more concerned about feeding, so i am considering one of those autofeeders. anyone with any experience? if so, which brand? thanks. 40 gal with BTA/...

has anyone had problems with digital thermometer ( coralife brand?). i accidentally found out that it was reading 5 degrees (F) low!!!! so i've been increasing my heater... i realized that this may not be working when i checked with my old glass thermometer. btw, i've had this for about 3...

do i need to remove this guy? he was apparently a hitchhiker with LR few weeks ago. didn't even notice until recently.

you should get the MJ and attach this device. this is how i'm set up and it's perfect in moving the flow around. the device will weaken the flow a bit so go with MJ 1200. it won't be too strong for 30 gal. Wavemakers: Hydor FLO Rotating Deflector Wavemaker

nice pics! love the side shot... is your hammer one head? or multiple branching?

I have the exact same on come with one of my LR and after 4 months, new one sprouted up right next to it. Didn't do anthing special... as a matter of fact, it was one of the first LR that I added, and survived the entire cycling process!!! Tough little suckers! Enjoy!

i only have two small serpent stars (LR hitchhikers). i've actually seen my peppermint shrimp nibbling at my mushrooms... but that was a while ago. maybe he ran out of things to eat... we'll see.
