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)...

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...

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.

thought i'd get some feedback on why suddenly my pagoda coral is not opening. here's a pic of the entire tank and the coral. i've had it for about 3 weeks, and it opened up nicely for about 2 weeks... then all of a sudden it closed and would not open again. as you can see from the tank pic...

i'd like to get some feedback from those that have RO/DI units... i'm kind of getting tired of going to LFS to get topoff water every week, and was thinking of purchasing my own RO/DI unit. my budget is around 130-150. any suggestions? i don't need much, i have a 40gal, but having to topoff...

I think I've got a blood sucking parasite eating my firefish... haven't seen him in two days. last time i saw him, he had it attached to dorsal fin area. probably dead inside his hole in LR. i was fortunate enough to catch the remaining fish (maroon clown, flame angel, and yellow tang) and qt...

just wanted to get some feedback on getting rid of (or at least reducing) some of these very tough (i have a hard time scraping it with a scraper) algae on my acrylic tank. it's dark to tan green in color, starts out as circular shape and it's very hard to take them off (the maglites do not even...

just got this skimmer and started it. it's pretty loud... the instruction says the noise level should go down in 1 -2 weeks, but would like know if anyone has had issues with noise. hopefully i've installed it correctly. i have the maxijet 2000. i also have the foam contained all the way...

i already posted in the intro section. just wanted to add some pics for any constructive criticism... this is right before i removed the UGF and biowheel. i haven't installed the skimmer yet. and i'm currently thinking about upgrading the lights (need more $$$).

Just wanted to introduce myself as a newcomer to this addictive hobby... I inherited a 40 gal acrylic tank along with an ECLIPSE hood/lights (40watts)/biowheel, and UGF with a powerhead. I've set up the tank about 4.5 months ago, cycled it with 30 lbs of LR and a blue damsel. I returned the...
