No takers so I will drop price for everything to $600.

i am sure it is related to lighting -- MH lighting has forced my RBTAs to not have bubbles but based on what i have seen elsewhere - they will come back under t5's

what to do about increasing problem with hair algae. I have noticed increasing amounts of hair algae getting out of control in my tank. are there any natural ways to rid the tank of it? any kind of fish or inverts that will chip away at it?

it is in fact the sedra 3500 -- thanks for the help.

i need the whole pump - mine stopped working and is giving off an electrical shock! I read of the same thing elsewhere.

the pump on my skimmer died and i need to get a replacement for it. does anyone know where i can get the same pump ?

I built several columns last year when i rebuilt my setup. I used diamond coring bits that i got at lowes or home depot. they are pricier than masonry bits, but do a much much better job. i just used a rubbermaid tub to submerge the rock in and drilled away. for thicker rocks i had to break out the cores and sometimes even go from both sides, but gives a very clean hole and perfect for sliding over pvc. i suggest scrapping the idea of masonry bits altogether.

All of the rock is from the old system and this one has been running now for about 8 months. I have a euroreef skimmer - it works ok, but not amazingly well - does produce a lot of skimmate not sure of ammonia or nitrite, but nitrates are up above 25 ppm consistently. good question about the sponge/filter socks -- i thought about this yesterday myself. the only sponges that are in the system are covering the outlet pipe in the back of the tank so that nothing gets into the sump from the main tank and i realized last night that this could certainly be the source. I am going to remove them and replace with some screening instead. any other suggestions ??

I have been having a real problem controlling nitrates in my tank and just not sure why. My old tank had a DSB and i never had any problems, but my new setup does not have a DSB. I do not overfeed tank at all and have a very low bioload in the system - very few fish - 90 gallon tank - lots of LR. Water changes help for short period. I have a small refugium in my cabinet with some macro, a DSB, and also using Kent Nitrate sponge pellets in fuge. nothing seems to help and i'm starting to lose some of my corals over time. I just cannot figure out the source of the problem. I do not have bio balls in the sump which would cause this over time - anyone have any ideas or ways to help mitigate the issue??

A few years back I had a similar problem. the electrical conduit that runs from my house up tpo my pool for the electrical service for the pump somehow was cracked underground and allowed water to seep in. the water made it all the way to the breaker box. many of the breakers eventually began to corrode and we replaced the entire box. it was costly, but nothing compared to the fire hazard that was just a ticking time bomb. I suggest that you have someone look at this immediately and also think a bit more about how you are going to fill that conduit with foam. the foam will NOT stop water intrusion - it simply soaks up water like a sponge. my advice - replace it all asap! A lot less expensive and less dangerous than the potential fire that could occur.

I was there yesterday. Greg is putting together a really nice setup and when they get fully up and running I think it will be a great resource for everyone! Greg is really a great guy to work with - he helped me out when i first set up my system 2 years ago and recently we worked out a great trade for me to go from my 120 tall (which just didn't work in my space) to a 92 corner. the corner quarter round is just awesome and I thank greg for working it out with me. I want everyone to know that Aquatic Obsession will be a great place for those in the area and that greg is great to work with - he goes the extra mile to help out customers and the customer service is unparalleled! Hope that folk drop by there soon and see what he is putting together - an awesome setup for sure!

i'm still cracking up at the last trick - that made my day.

would love the help dude - but it looks like you are a good distance away. I have a few potential takers for the sand bed and help on moving the tank outside - thanks for the offer for sure! Rob
