to sell my LR, fish, snails, crabs and chaeto. I now have a 125 gal tank with very little sand in it and a little water. I am planning on using my wet/dry vac to clean out what is left in tank. How would you all suggest I clean the glass of any residue from sand?:bowdown:

It has been a rough 3 months. My husband was being very challenged by his health but he got tired of battling and passed away on Nov. 2. He was my inspiration for many years and many things. I have many situations to handle without him and I feel I need to sell my tank, live rock, some fish and...

I would like a referral to an online store to purchase HQI 25O WATT 20K FC2 DE METAL HALIDE BULBS. I inquired with a LFS and they want $80 each. I do remember buying these bulbs a couple years ago for $21 each. Who can you refer me to? Also, a little while back I had mentioned that I need...

Finally, my salinity reading is at 1.027. Do I need to bring it down anymore before doing a 10% water change? I have been working on getting the reading down for over 2 months. I had a rise and killed my cuc. I only have a few nasarrius left. I have been waiting to get the reading down before...

I occasionally will feed my Tomini Tang and Blue Hippo Tang some sheets of seaweed, as a treat. Are there any treats to give to pajama cardinal fish. I feel bad for when I see the tangs indulging and the cardinal fish are just kind of there.:bounce::^::D

but I will try to describe as best as I can. In my refugium I have a sudsy residue forming in various clumps at top of water. What might this be? Anything to worry about?:grumble::bowdown:

When I rebuilt my sump, I had taken a lot of rock out of my previous DT. It just seemed too cramped. I also removed rubble rock from my previous sump. If I want to use that rock over again in my DT, do I need to prepare it and what process would I do? The rubble rock, removed from my previous...

I have a Typhoon III unit. It is connected to my outside faucet via two way Y connection. So, do I turn on the faucet and then just turn on the fast flush valve? I keep the drain vavle closed? Right?:bowdown:

Since I changed the light for my refuge to a Grow light, I have noticed the difference in the chaeto growth and the appearance of the glass on the refuge. There is algae growth, coralline algae growth. Is this okay? First time I have had a refugium for my 125 gal FOWLR tank.:^::D:helm2:

My last thread mentioned that my salinity in my 125 gal. was at 1.038. I checked it today, it is 1.036. I have been mixing 1 gal. tank water w/3gal RODI water for my top off. In the meantime, all my snails have died. My fish are still okay. Algae is showing on my LR, sand, back wall, side walls...

I didn't realize, until buying my Typhoon 5 Stage RODI 100gph system, that my 75gph wasn't functioning correctly. My Typhoon 5 produces a barrel of water overnite. My 75gph takes weeks to produce a barrel of water. What's that due to? :question: I have replaced filters within the last year.

I recently added a cleanup crew to my DT. I did this around 6/23/09. Something is killing my nassarius snails or cerith snails. I have difficulty telling them apart. What information can I provide to you for your assistance in trying to figure out what is causing their...

Now, my sand sifting star is RIP. First my green brittle star and now this. Is there to be any concern for me or just write it off as they lived their life?:grumble:

Have I read correctly that there should be some water movement in the refuge area for the chaeto? The only movement I have in my refuge is the water flow coming from the piping feeding water into the refuge. Is that sufficient or should I put a small ph in the refuge area?:question:
