    Tank Cleaning With Sand

    Hello....I recently upgraded from a 34g with aragonite to a 75g with sand. I used to vac the gravel when I did water changes, and got a lot of dirt out. So now that I have sand....what do people do? Obviously if you suck the sand, you'll suck a lot of it up. Of course I have hermits...

    Marine Aquarium Do's and Don'ts for Beginners

    Funny about not feeding your aptasias! I do mold inspections, and see lots of homes of course, some with tanks....amazing how many people have aptasia problems. Man I remember this one guy....seemed like his goal must have been to have an aptasia tank, he had hundreds of them....

    I agree about going on vacation! Next time I leave for more than just a few days, I think I'll get a service to babysit my tank. I've had a few bad exeriences with losses and bad water chemistry that have occured during vacations.

    Gold's Upgrade to 75 g

    Hey All, New to this site, so I thought I would go ahead and post here about my new baby. I bought a used 75 gallon acryllic out of someone's yard for $230 with a stand, CPR BakPak, EuroSump, and some pumps. I sold the BakPak, cleaned up the tank, had an overflow put in by Age of Aquariums...

    NPX Bioplastics

    On this new tank, maybe three weeks. On my old tank, probably a few months, and never noticed much of a difference. Did you have any progress on your tank? What are you housing them in?

    Best/Easiest/Cheapest ATO, suggestion??

    I like that one from autotopoff.com and may buy it. Because I don't have much room under my tank for a reservoir or an RO unit I'm thinking about just using 2 gallon DI water jugs from the store. Wondering what pump might work best for that. I seem to be adding about 3 to 4 gallons of DI per...

    Review: Evolution Aqua Pure Marine

    I wonder if you would have better results if you had a skimmer? I note that NPX bioplastics recommend one (see my forum posting today about that). I wonder how similar or dissimilar this product is to NPX? I've noticed a couple of peeps posting here that say they have no skimmer and I'm...

    NPX Bioplastics

    Anyone out there using NPX bioplastic beads? I had these set up in a chamber on my Red Sea Max 34 g and didn't notice any real improvement in phosphates or nitrates. I ended up using Phosban (or something similar) which really did lower the phosphates and Dinitrate which somewhat lowered the...

    overflow box

    I had Age of Aquariums (in Long Beach) put an overflow box into my new (used) 75 g acrylic and drill the bottom, put in a standpipe, etc. I'm very happy with it! I wish I had talked to them first about this because I tried other things that didn't work well. Someone else told me it couldn't...

    Shout out to Dan at Age of Aquariums!

    It's a very good store. They installed an overflow box into my 75 g acryllic tank recently. The big reef tank in the store is amazing. Huge clam!

    Hair Algae Control

    I found that phosphate removal was the key to getting rid of hair algae. Also cutting back on the number of hours seemed to help. I recently noticed some fleshy black stuff, appears to be an algae. Anyone know anything about that? I just tore that tank down for an upgrade so I don't have a...

    Tank Automation

    Hi, I'm new here. I have had a Red Sea Max 38 g and recently upgraded to a 75 g tank. I've outfitted it with a Bubble Magus skimmer, LED lights, am running a reactor with biobeads, chiller, UV, and have circulation via a SCWD. It's cycled and has some fish in it. Just popped in my first...
