    New Protein skimmer

    Thanks everyone. I'm gonna wash the filter pads in warm water after I put more live rocks and have a better sense of the final aquascape. I moved the rocks around and the skimmer pad has alot of sand around it so I'll just wait. Thanks again. Anymore tips please feel free.

    New Protein skimmer

    I just purchased a new Protein Skimmer from Jebo that goes up to a 75 gallon tank. Its on my 20 gallon long tank right now. How long does it take before any skim should be accumulated? I have the water line about a inch and a half from the top of the skim cup. Is that okay? Plus I have a lot of...

    Thanks Sadie. Yeah, everything that was stated seems to be what this triggers doing! I'm gonna have to tank him to a LFS and get some credit or something.

    Just got back today and one of my clowns is dead :evil: Can anyone verify if the trigger can do this? The trigger is probably two times bigger! If so I want to transfer him to my other tank. Please help anyone, plus do triggers eat bristle worms? Thanks

    Sadie... Thankd for the reply. No the eyes aren't that bad. It's just cloudy, it doesn't stick out nor does it have anything on it. Its just cloudy. Skip, thanks for the heads up. Will the trigger eat bristle worms? And is it compatible with a blenny thats probably twice or 1.5 bigger than him...

    Here we go starting my first nano... *LOOK*

    Thanks Sadie... This is for a 20 gallon long now... I think I'm going crazy with saltwater tanks. I put 3 blue legs but I think my trigger ate one? Is that possible? I have a skimmer coming in the mail for more circulation too. I bought the trigger and it had a cloudy eye? I heard to put it in...

    Okay, I just looked at my tank and the LS is starting to turn brown? As if it were getting a tan ha,ha,ha but what is it, an algae? Do I need more circulation or more clean up crew? Thanks

    Cleanig Glass?

    Do you mean you have algae on the glass? If so or anything else on the glass "good ole" :wlift use of the hand with a credit card (or something like that library card, fake ccard mailed to you) would do the trick. You can get those stick scrappers sold at your LFS but they can only get so much...

    With the picture above can anyone help me out with the positioning? I got the word last night since I'm still gone (two weeks coming up) about a brown fuzzy filament on my zoas and their not opened up. I know I have my 35 watt coralife light on from 11-12 hours a day so I was thinking it was...

    Switching freshwater to saltwater...

    I'm about to take my cichlid out of my 20 gallon long and switch it to a saltwater tank. Can I just rinse out the tank and use the gravel it came with, rather than putting LS? All I'm going to do is put LR and corals, will the live sand really make a diffrence? Please help... If its better to be...
