I have a 1 year old Octopus BH-100F hang-on-back skimmer. All pieces are included and in perfect working order. The skimmer is even in nice, clean, shape. I upgraded when I got my sump. Information can be found here : Reef Octopus BH 100F Hang on Back Protein Skimmer with Filter System -...

I thought I would be OK, but let me run some numbers to you tech geeks out there. I have a 65g DT with a 24g sump. Return plumbing is 3/4". There is a T in the return line to a valve controlled feed line to the fuge (low flow). The main tank return line is split to two outputs in the tank...

I saw this tonight and got a laugh! Drs. Foster and Smith Diver's Den - Acreichthys tomentosus

My 2 year old clowns are starting to show a bit of a white "cotton like" patch. First, the larger fish was showing a small dot near the tail...then it got larger as it is in the below pics. The larger is now developing a small dot near it's fin. The smaller of the fish is now showing a small dot...

Well, after almost 6 months of slowly accumulating equipment, we finally moved into our new home and I got around to building out the tank. This is an upgrade tank from my previous 30g nano reef. Hopefully, the transition will be OK for the fish as I plan to move them into the new home in the...

Hey guys....need some advice on my new sump return pump. I have a 1/2" MPT fitting coming off the pump and want to go into plumbing. My plumbing is based on 1" Flex PVC..... Any suggestions on the connections? Thanks!

I've never used a fuge before, and this is my first unit. Just wanted clarification, but I think I'm correct. I assume I just drain from the DT into the SKIMMER section. Even though the partition is the highest of the bunch. I would assume the refugium section will draw it's own water from the...

I'm traveling in China this next two weeks and stumbled across this YUMMY advertisement for delicious "SEA CUCUMBER" MMM MMM good.

So, I'm tired of the old "White / Pink" sandbed in my tank. I'm starting a new tank in a few weeks and wanted to add some more color. Anyone have any thoughts, comments, experiences with this stuff? I thought it looked pretty cool : Natures Ocean® Bio-Activ Live® Aragonite Australian Gold...

I came home tonight to find some interesting new addition to the tank..... This is the pairs first spawning after being together for 2 years in the tank (to the day)! Sorry for the blurry pic!

Anyone interested in a new XBOX 360 ARCADE EDITION? Bought it for my 4 year old son (spoiled, I know). He used it like 3 times now he wont touch it since his sister got the WII. It has the new "jasper" motherboard, one white wireless controller, one red wireless controller, box, instructions...

Does anyone have contacts or have any assistance they can offer on an Octopus HOB BH-100F skimmer. I want to upgrade the needlewheel pump inside this thing to a more powerful one. Currently it has a RESUN KING 225F pump. I was hoping to upgrade to a new sicce pump that Octopus puts on their...

So, I'm elbow deep in the tank yesterday and I hear a "splat". Stupid wrasse went for a skydiving expedition behind the entertainment center. After a few frantic seconds of hunting, I grabbed him and tossed him back in. I've been lazy......he hasn't jumped since I got him a few years...

Hey, Found this sucker on a rock tonight..... It's the whitish thing ABOVE the Asterina Star. Sorta looks like a snail (without the shell).....or a tiny baby Nassarius snail. It has a sucker "nose" on the front that was scouring the rocks. It also has two "antenna" on the front (on either...

I need to trim my weeds, I mean Xenia, back a bit. It's overpowering the surrounding coral colonies and it's out of control! I've never done this before with Xenia. It's formed on a base similar to GSP, but the stalks are much bigger. How should I go about doing this? If I separate the...
