if your fish wont go near the clip. You can rubber band the nori to a piece of live rock rubble and drop it in

The inches per gallon rule totally doesn't work for saltwater.

Sorry to say, but having 2 blue tangs in your tank is not going to work. I am VERY liberal about tank size and stocking, and I...

when aiptasia is really small, I have had great luck with super glue gel. Just get it to retract, then enclose the aiptasia in a glob of glue, it wont be able to get out.

I gave up on turbo's myself. They clean well, but they just knock everything over. Now I use a variety instead...nerites, ceriths, astraeas.

You would need to rename your thread, lol.

85 really isn't that bad. I agree, the livestock should be OK.

I have one in my 40g standard. I also used it in my last tank, which was a 31g custom (about the size of a red sea max 34g).

The MP10 has worked great for both tanks. Great flow, you can set the...

Great advice MCHRKiller!

If you have an AC70, you can go follow the links I pasted below, and they have prefabricated media racks that you can drop right in, and turn your filter into an hang on...

+1 on the two comments above. The only thing I would add, is that you really should purchase brand name bulbs instead of replacing the fishneedit bulbs. I have a fishneedit fixture, and I never...

Thanks for the compliments!

Added a nice big torch colony (see upper left side of tank).

Update...Picked up a clam, lost a couple of zoas, not really sure why. You can see I added a prefilter/surface skimmer that I had built for me. I am just running floss in it now. I also started...

IMHO, the 40 breeder is the perfect reef size

If a 10g is all you can do, go for it. I would just suggest that you research a lot into your equipment before you purchase. IME, you can waist a ton of money buying equipment that you just end up...

You wont regret it. The MP10 was the best thing I ever bought for my tank.

MP40 will be all that you need for your tank. I actually have my MP10 at about 75% on my 40g.

good luck with the filefish!

Labeled some of my zoas. Got the names from zoaid. The "hornet clones" look just like hornets, but they don't have the alternating skirts, so I guess they aren't legit. Good thing I got them for...

If I have learned anything in this hobby, its that you cant trust most LFS workers when equipment is involved. I might be wrong in this case...but I would find out the brand name of the skimmer,...

That is the outside measurement at the slip fitting correct?

The whole intake tube will slide into the device, it does not have be exact, just more than enough space to slide the tube and the...

For SW tanks, the most important thing is for you to locate a source of good RO/DI Fresh water (water with Total Dissolved Solids as close to zero as possible).

You will use this water for...

I am working on the design of a surface skimmer/prefilter that will be used on a AquaClear 70 HOB filter.

To get the dimensions right, I need to know the width of the intake tube at its thickest...
