A store that did not sell red bugs with my acro, aptasia on my rocks, ich and black spot on my tangs, nudibranch on my zoanthids and oh the list could go on. In my opinion, if you don't have...

If you've got a short in your circuit, you don't want that power to come back on. The other option you have is to put each item on it's own GFCI circuit. That would be a pricey proposition, but it...

The lights probably aren't as necessary. The things you really want on GFCI are the things submerged in your tank or things that, in the case your tank was to overflow ... would get wet

That looks exactly like the bloodworms we used to fish for spots with from the pier in Nag's Head NC when I was a kid.

You're running too much media and or too much flow. I saw your setup with the ball valve and t off your mag 18. I've got a mag 18 pushing a large beckett injection skimmer. I really...

It's tough to control temperatures outside. Running water horizontally really isn't tough. 90 degree bends aren't tough either. Pushing water against an opposing force such as gravity is the...

You don't have boycott power unless you have the ability to purchase something. Without the "able" part of willing and able, you are not a component of demand anyway. Economics 101

Used is the way to go. For $360 I got the fuge, fuge light, ocean runner return pump, skimmer and skimmate collection container (behind skimmer in the picture). Two working items I chose not to use...

You're not even cutting it close with a Prizm Pro with that bio-load. However, my recommendation would be to get the most powerful skimmer you can afford and will fit in your system. I like my...

FLOW! (I know, this is a side note)

A good skimmer is totally worthless without good flow in the tank and the overflow. I found that out the hard way when I had two pumps go bad on me. Within 2...

Get something used. I spent 300 and got a Precision Marine Bullet XL1, 24G refugium, 2 SEIO 1100's, a PC refugium light and an Iwaki 40RLT. All I had to do was clean the stuff up with some white...

I have an Iwaki 40RT - similar in design to the Gen-X 4100 I think. It's too loud. So, I bought an Eheim 1262 and it's quiet but won't run my skimmer at all (beckett skimmer). I'm kind of stuck...

Okay,

I bought a used but working Precision Marine beckett skimmer. It came with an Iwaki 40RT pump. That sucker is too loud for indoors! So, I purchased an Eheim 1262. To my dismay, it's not...
