I'd rather just confirm the functionality of this one, if anybody can. But thanks!

Amazon.com: Aqua Euro USA Hang On Back Protein Skimmer: Pet Supplies What do you guys think of this skimmer? Im sort of on a budget here, and they have a design similar to reef octopus, or so I've heard.

Alright! Tank almost established...I have one last question and you all will never have to deal with me again! When I give back my panther grouper, I need to invest in a cleanup crew, (My tank has a bit of algae issue right now). But do I need to have corals to house a clean up crew? My rock has...

Alright so a sump is definitely not in my reach...can I get away with just an HOB skimmer and lights?

Ok so I have a basic sump/refugium setup that I think I will try. It will be made of a 10 gallon tank with three chambers separated by plexi-glass 1st chamber: drainage pump which will feed the skimmer in the second chamber. there will be a bubble trap which will fill the second chamber. second...

so say I add a deep sand bed to the refugium section to my would-be sump, how do I start to grow pods? And where do I get macro algae?

What do you guys think of refugium sections in a sump? Necessary or unnecessary?

Lol I suppose so! Ill certainly be back for your advice (Which so far has been top notch) when I negotiate lighting/skimmer with the rents.

Alrighty wimpy shrimpy Ill bring him back to the store when I can. I just wanna keep this thread about stuff I need for a reef tank for now ^.^

Alright thanks. Ill look into the t5 lighting....as for the panther grouper, he's not all that big yet (about 8 cm), and he's only 1 of 4 fish in the tank. He has no signs of stress and eats fine, he's thriving so far and he's the only fish in the tank with a personality. I at least want to keep...

Oh man this is gonna be tough lol. There is no possible way to get away with fluorescent lights I'm guessing? I don't exactly have alot of funding. If I get a skimmer that hangs on the back of the tank, can the eheim stay? I can't exactly use a sump due to the stand I have, and even though the...

Ill just give you guys the equipment I have just to know what else I may need...So i need T5 halides...Ill do my research. I have an Eheim 2217, an Aquaclear70, a Turbotwist 6x UV sterilizer, and powerhead fit for a 25 gallon tank, plus the flow from the spray bar. So I assume I will need a sump...

What makes the difference between a saltwater filter and a freshwater filter then?

Tank has been running for 7 months, crystal clear, excellent water quality. I have Tufa rock thats been in the tank for about a month and a half, and I would like to use this rock to begin my reef aquarium. However Im not sure how to go about getting corals and reef-necessary stuff into the tank...

Purchased this filter with my 55 gal setup. The filter itself is fantastic works flawlessly with no leaks, even in a power failure (given the o-ring gasket is properly lubed), and has a decent flow. If its taken care of, it will not fail you. I believe that the large amount of surface area...
