Anything left? I am interested in whatever you have. You can PM with detais. Thanks

PMed ->rock, coral, & equip.

What type is it? I know it is a slow rate, around 200 gph I think.

Great job. When I get a sump set up I think I will be making one of these. GaryL- Any more mods or things you would change? Is it always wet skim or have you gotten a dark sludge? Where you able to fix the problem with the leaking lid? dchild- How does the diffuser work? How did you make it? What flow rate (gph) are the pumps you are using? I saw a post with 700gph, is that a good rate?

Try calibrating with distilled water and clean lens and cover with a damp cloth. I calibrate every 2 months or so.

Found a pair Just added a pair of O. clowns (largest and smallest) and another algae blenny to my QT. That's all for the QT for now. I also found some bumble bee snails and a 1" red star for my 10G.

Update: I added the firefish last weekend. The Firefish are doing great in the 55G with the mandarin, no problems. They seem to stick togerther all the time. The blenny did not make it out of QT , might have starved? He looked thin but the rear glass was covered with algae. Even tried algae disks. Did not see any other signs or parasites. I will be looking locally for another blenny, pair of Ocellaris Clownfish and gobys to put in QT. Anyone see a pair of Ocellaris Clownfish?

Not sure about the "NPT", but I have a tap and die set with 3/8" in either 24 or 18 threads per inch. I got it at Sears. Got it "NPT (National Pipe Thread)" it shoud work. I'm in Bowie, Md if you are interested.

I want to drill my 75G and add a basic sump with a DSB, skimmer, micro algae, and ideas? I was going to use a 20G long I have and put in baffles, ideas for setup/layout? I guess I would need two 1

I'm not sure. I'm heard a few names used. He has large eyes with the eyelashes and vertical light/dark stripes.

Update Thanks everyone for the info. I found a pair of firefish (no fighting) and got them along with the algae (sailfin?) blenny this weekend and added them to the 10G QT. I am going to wait until I add them to the main tank before getting more. Any additional input is appreciated.

Thanks, I sent it in at the same time. I looked in the tank before leaving for work and things did not look good :( Water: pH 8.2, Nitrite 0, nitrate 5 (steady), 80*

I have a sand sifting starfish that seems to be under attack by small green worms (very small 1-2mm)? Here is a picture of the leg that is being eaten from about 9am. I just looked again and he is missing another two segments. Any clues? Should I cut the leg to save him?

I am looking for suggestions/info in stocking a 55G (upgrading in near future to 75G) reef tank with a 1" crushed coral (1-2mm) bed with about 50 lbs rock. I have a mandarin fish that I am going to add and would like to know what other fish would be good companions. I already have a cleaner crew (snails, crabs), 1 skunk shrimp, & 1 peppermint shrimp. Here is what have for a list now: 1 Mandarin (already have) 1 Algae Blenny (what type?) 1 Firefish (purple, if I can find) 1 Neon blue gobys (a matched pair if I can?) Pair Ocellaris Clownfish 1 Flame or Coral Angelfish (Any Experience out there?) 1 Royal Gramma basslet (other types?) I was going to try to add in the order above or all at once, any possible problems? I am going to make a

I am new (6+ months) and would like someone with some experience to give me their input. I have a used 75G that I will be moving my 55G into. The 55G has 1.5
