Quick question....all of a sudden my 90 gallon setup has tiny air bubbles
clinging to the inside/front of the glass. The tiny bubbles are also visible
throughout the tank. What is causing this? My skimmer is clean and adjusted
properly. I unplugged the skimmer and it didn't seem to ...

Anyone can advise?
Thanks!

I am a rank newbie as far as plumbing/sumps/overflows so please feel free to
correct any errors I have made or suggest alternatives. I need opinions!
Does the size of the skimmer chamber in my sump have any bearing on how much
water can be processed i.e. GPH??

Only one question:
It's possible to remove the glass from the luminaire Halide Metal without to cause damage to the corals and fish ?
thank a lot

I took advantage of saltwaterfish.com's  free shipping with a $75 order.
Package came quickly, and was excellently packaged (very happy, and will do
business with again).  Did all the proper steps, and watched happily as my
fish got settled in the tank.

Does anyone know where i can find plans for a canopy. I want to install MH
lights and would like to see some type of plans to build the canopy. I can
build if i hae plans but i find it hard to figure things out on my own.
TIA

Hello people,
My 46G tank has been cycling for about 5 weeks now.  About a week and a half
ago, algae started growing on the glass, and now all the live rock is pretty
brownish, with more algae on the glass.  I have used lighting on the tank

I am in the process of  setting up a reef tank 48x15x12. I intend to stock
mainly inverts and Soft corals, using deep sand bed 3 inches. But to my
shock and horror when I went to inquire about the price of live rock I was
astonished, as I rekon I would need approx 40/50 pounds.

   Just wanted to share my experience and ask a question.
I added some more LR to my tank today.  It's a 75g thats been going for
about 3-1/2 months. (getting closer =))  I added another 12lbs of Live Rock
which brings my total up to 60lbs.  Again, I am getting closer =)

90 gallon AGA drilled tank- I did not purchase the AGA overflow system but
ordered a Durso standpipe instead.
My question regards the return line.
The 1" overflow will give me 600 GPH into the sump, right?

I took these this afternoon. I gave up on the photo session before I could
get a decent pic of the two ocellaris clowns I have. The other main
inhabitants are a clean-up crew up of snails and hermit crabs. I've seen a

Do they have a web site?  I couldn't find it on Google.

I have a 2 1/2 year old 150 gallon reef tank containing a variety of
SPS, LPS and fish.  I have been running a Korallin Kalkreaktor model
