The link the Spike provided is a great place to start. All you really need is a small tank with some sort of hang-on, canister, or integrated filtration, a light source, and a heater. The sponge...

Thanks, everyone. So I gather that I can yank the crude float switch off of my Tsunami and replace it with 2 float switches, right? One that turns on at a low level, and one that turns off at the...

Float-switch recommendations

Does anyone have a recommendation for a very precise float switch? I have an old Tsunami that worked just fine when it was controlling a Maxijet topoff pump. Now, I'm using it to control a dosing...

I have a Korallin 1502. I teed it off of my return pump after realizing that it needed some sort of pump to provide in-flow. So far, so good. Alkalinity is a steady 10 dKH and calcium is 350 ppm,...

You've got the right idea so far. Put the sand into one of your rubbermaid containers or into a separate bucket or container with some of your system water. This will keep your biological filter...

Keep the exit above the waterline. This will relieve back pressure on your overflow and oxygenate the water in your tank. I use a partial glass cover with a hole cut for the downflow pipe to...

If you've got the money -- for the bigger skimmer, pump, more LR and sand, etc. -- go for the 180. The other thing to remember is that you need to add more fresh water for evaporation and mix more...

Yes, that is bubble algae (valonia). A lot of people say that emerald crabs will help control it. Just don't pop the bubbles! That will cause it to spread.

Hard to tell exactly, but judging by location and color I would guess red slime (cyanobacteria). Is it a film on the sand? Does it expand by day and shrink by night? If you anwered "yes" to these...

I moved the contents of a 29 gallon (LR, corals, fish) into a 72 gallon a couple of years ago (adding the sand bed at the same time) and everything worked perfectly. If you are adding new LR, let...

Indo-Pacific Sea Farms sells pods, worms, and other "live sand activators." I have had good experiences ordering from them.

Your fish should be fine for 3 days without food. You could also invest in an autofeeder, but in my opinion there is no need for such a short absence.

Those numbers are basically irrelevant nitrate amounts anyway. Pretty much anything under 5 ppm is ok even in a reef tank. You are talking about less than 10% of that amount. You're doing good at...

Sounds like everything is ok with those numbers. Kalk will normally cause your skimmer to perform differently/better, which is why so many people (myself inlcuded) use it regularly. I have heard...

I think they are meant to sit on your LR, not on the sand (mine picks up sand and it is mounted in the top corner, more than 12 inches off the substrate). Th obvious idea is that the artifical...

It is necessary to add calcium even if you have LR by itself, if only to keep the coralline algae and any snails you have healthy. Sounds like more than enough lighting for soft corals (xenia like...

I have a GFCI but no ground probe. Where does one find a ground probe, and how is it best installed? Thanks in advance for any opinions.
