I have a sump/fuge below my tank fed by an e-shopps overflow and returned by a mag5. I have had the overflow set so that the tank height is around 1'' from the rim of the top of the tank. I looked at it this morning, and it's almost overflowing over the top of the display. I haven't added water...

I finally set up my sump. Eshops overflow brings water down out of the 46gal main tank into a 20gal tank. Three sections in the sump: Lefthand section holds the skimmer and has the inflow to the sump. This drains into the middle section, the refugium. This drains into the right hand section...

I've been reading on here that certain white sands have pH buffering qualities. I am planning to switch to the black Tahitian Moon Sand that Drs F&S have, for my display tank. I know a lot of people don't like the black sand because it doesn't help control pH. If I have white aragonite sand in...

Apparently 100% silicone does -not- always mean 100%. I accidentally grabbed a tube of silicone that was listed as 100% silicone. In the contents it had only silicone listed. I used it to put the separators in my sump. I haven't installed the sump yet, but I found out the silicone I used has a...

I’m planning on setting up a sump with refugium. I am really inexperienced when it comes to this so I’m sure I’ll have a few questions, even after reading as many old posts as I could get my hands on... I’m thinking of using a 10 gallon tank and putting my Deltec HOB inside of it (yeah I know...

I recently got a small (maybe 1.5cm) frag of acropora to try adding to my tank. It was epoxied (I think??) to a plug, which was sitting, I thought, snugly in a crack of a rock. It was doing well until I knocked into the rock while cleaning tonight. It's now off its plug. What's the fastest way...

...do aiptasia's spread? I received a piece of LR from a friend's tank. He said that the tank was aiptasia free, yet I found a tiny one in a crevis about 48 hours after putting it in the tank. This, even after I searched the rock over carefully before putting it in. Needless to say the entire...

It is time. This bad boy has yet to get a skimmer, but maybe the wait was a good thing because I am now willing to spend upwards of $250-300 (less if possible) on a good, easy-to-use HOB since I do not have anywhere else to put it currently. I was thinking of getting an AquaC Remora with...

Hi, I'm Matt. I have been meaning to post, but have been dreading the long list of questions I have developed over the past month. I have had a salt water tank for about a year and a half now. I started out, oddly enough, with a 10 gallon and about 10lbs of live rock, live sand, a few snails and...
