Acclimated the Blenny the same way. He seemed pretty active at the LFS, but maybe I jumped into a little too quickly.

Floated the urchin for 15 minutes, then dripped for an hour.

Bought a Pincushion Urchin on Tuesday and an Algae Blenny yesterday. Both looked great last night, as the Blenny was chowing down on algae about 30 minutes after placing him in the tank. Came home from work tonight and the urchin has lost almost all of his spines, appears to be gone. The...

RO water tested free of phosphates. Even my tap water tested with only a small amount. Feeding twice a day. Think that's too much?

I'm feeding frozen. Thanks, I'll definitely start rinsing it first. And the chaeto has grown considerably. I only had like 2 handfuls to start, probably doubled in about 3 weeks. Light is an 18W 7100K that came with the refugium.

Yeah, I've been using my RODI for about 5 weeks. And yes I have fish in there- Goby, Chromis, snails, hermits.

I've had some hair algae and cyano, but it just started to get worse lately. Tested my phosphates and they're through the roof. No skimmer or anything, just a sump-based refugium with chaeto. I set the tank up about 2 months ago, didn't have my RO unit yet so I used tap. I'm hoping it's just...

Think I'm going to order my new lighting tonight and I figured I'd get a second powerhead. I'm running one 1050gph right now. Should I add a 550 or a 750?

I'm going to start throwing like 50 bucks a week into my lighting savings. Just trying to decide which one to get. I've been looking at the AquaticLife T-5 Six Lamp, AquaticLife T-5 Four Lamp and the Current Nova Extreme Pro Six Lamp. Anybody have any experience with these or suggestions on...

Any recommendations on macro algae for my fuge?

Excellent, thanks for the advice everyone. I was going to attempt to build my own sump but I don't really have the time for it right now. I went out today and bought a sump-based refugium and all the hook-ups I need so I'm attempting to get that in tonight. After I set that up, should I...

I'm actually considering a sump right now. Trying to figure out how to make my own out of an old 20 gallon.

I'm just starting a 55 gallon tank and I was running a canister filter I had from freshwater before. I want to get rid of it and put in a sump, but I am completely clueless as to what I am doing here. Tank has been filled for about a month, put in 75 pounds of live rock last week. I have an...

Any suggestions on a skimmer? And I would be able to get away with just a skimmer and the live rock? Also, would I be able to run it down into my stand or would it have to be hung on the aquarium?

I have a 55 gallon that I just switched over from freshwater. I bought 75 lbs of live rock and I'm running the canister filter I had with my freshwater setup. Will I be ok with this filter or would I better off with a protein skimmer or something else?
