    Gfci tripping with new Aquaticlife T5

    I have a 30 amp dedicated gfci outlet for tank with all equipment running thru those lines. The exception is the Aquaticlife T5 system which is run on a non gfci line nearby. Every time I try to plug in the lighting into the gfci lines it trips the gfci immediately. These are suspended lights...

    Would you add an anthia or another fish?

    Hitchhiker on coral

    I noticed this in my new GSP coral that I got about 1 month ago. When the GSP is open during the day, it is impossible to see this hitchhiker. I noticed this at night and took a flash picture to show this. The anemone moves back and forth thru the GSP rock island and does not appear to cause the...

    Opinions on macro algae in display tank

    Would you put halimeda or maiden's hair in your display tank? I saw some excellent specimens of both at a LFS. I currently only use caulerpa in the refugium as an export medium. I have fish, mostly LPS, gorgonians, clam, shrimp, other inverts, and some soft corals. They look interesting and...

    Is it OK to turn off main pump 3 hours per day?

    I have 65g with 20g sump, 2 Eco tech mp10s and about 65-70 lbs live rock with skimmer and filter bag. Sometimes watching TV it is still a bit loud (water noise coming into sump) with standard over flow from Marineland into ADHI refugium 20. I am a bit afraid to try the Herbie overflow design so...

    Sound reductions for overflow tips and Mag7

    Just spent over 3000 dollars on entire system for 65 g Marineland with Perfecto overflow and Mag7. Refugium has pipe that descends into the refugium and under the water level but the over flow makes a ton of noise. It is very upsetting to my wife when watching TV since it is noisy water...
