So I picked up a used Reef Dynamics 250 about 2 years ago and put it on a 93 gallon cube with 30g sump. I performed well, but never really foamed up like I would have expected such an overpowered skimmer to do in a small tank. It is theoretically capable of 800 gallons (or so they say). From...

I purchased a red/blue LED (20W) light that is used for hydroponics and put it over my fuge. It has been there a week and the clump of cheato I had has grown noticeably. Plus it looks cool as hell. I've tried the 38 par lights LED lights in the past with only limited growth, this is crazy...

Any reason why I can't or shouldn't run a reactor submerged in my sump? I'm trying to avoid any possible leaks. thoughts?

So I've struggled for years trying to wedge my frags on plugs into existing holes in my rocks. Sometimes they fall down and die. I've even purchased some of the fake rocks with holes for plugs. I never considered drilling the rocks, well because they are rocks. I received a shipment of a...

Went and bought like 30 pcs of PVC fittings to finish up my plumbing today, discovered one!piece was wrong, someone put a threaded Tee in with the slips. I didn't realize it until I got home and they were closed....

My yellow belly blue tang has started punking my blue tang recently. I taped a bottle of wasabi to the outside of the tank and pointed at the yellow belly and told him if he doesn't stop this is the next step. Funny thing is it has been an hour and the aggression stopped. crazy... i wonder...
