My heater had a crack in it and sent sparks! Some of the small little starfish and some pests (that I did not know I had) fell out of the rock onto the sand bed. My Pom-pom crab made it - the corals look okay? My crabs and snails are not moving. What about my live rock/sand? is it...

I put one of these together for my 2.5 gallon. I took everything out of my AC70. Refuge, cheata, deviders, everything - just one empty box. I then installed four small PVC pipes to hold up a small piece/sheet of plastic (that I roughed up and drilled a few holes in). The plastic sets on...

How is it going? Now that you've removed your phosban reactor, how is everything going? Have you noticed a spike in your phosphates?

Two Little Fishies - Reactor? Does this reactor keep the brown stuff from growing on your sand? Thanks, Steve

Two Little Fishies - Reactor? Could I come out of the back of my AquaClear70 (Fuge Area) with a small pump out to the reactor and then back into my HOB? If so, what pump would you go with? I would place the reactor on the table next to the tank or hang it off the back of my AQ70 HOB...

Tim - Are you using PhosBan in a bag? Or Are you using it in a reactor? Thanks, Steve

Let me know how it goes! Thanks, Steve

Surface Skimming I was going to do the same for my 2.5 gallon. Instead - I purchased a AquaClear surface skimmer. It will fit on your AquaClear HOB. I did have to cut it down to fit - but it works great. Steve

I also use the AC70 on my Azoo 2.5 mirror back bow front. Once I added the AC surface skimmer (had to cut it down to fit) the AC70 impeller worked great and the fuge and cheata (with submersable light) are doing great! Steve

I've ordered some phosphate remover. Is this something that most Pico Reef owners run all the time? Also - can I run this in a nylon bag in my AQ70 fuge next to my Cheata? Or should I pull the cheata out? Or should I not run the phosphate remover, add more cheata, and wait it out...

The tank is 8 weeks old and I'm running a new Dual Satelite with moon light. 12" 18w 2-lamp 50/50.

Phosphates When I check for phosphate, I get zero. However, I'm getting brown hair algy. 2.5 Gallon Auto-top-off Temp controller Ro/DI water changes (35% once a week) Current PCs 37 watts (8hrs a day) AC70 with fuge (ligt on 24/7) Carbon/filter pad (change once a week) Four blue leg...

Should I use the Phosban or Rowaphos? 2.5 gallon I would like to put it in a nylon sock and then into my AC70 fuge. Or should I use the sponge? Also - if I use one of these - should I still use the cheata in my fuge? Thanks, Steve

Water? Sorry - I did not do any tests until yesturday.

New light Hello - I've been cycleing my tank for 4.5 weeks with this submersable light in my AquaClear 70 fuge and it's working great. Thanks, Steve
