I just got rid of my last tank and I found a few left over snails (stoma, naus, astria, etc.) and there is still a 20g sump with a ton of stuff in it. If you want ot come up to Salem MA today and take the snails and pick through the sump for hermits, shrimps, snails, and other stuff than you...

I have a bunch of Purigen bags I don't need anymore. They have been used for a few months but i have recharged them. But you can clean/recharge them when you get them as they have just been sitting in a jar of distilled water on the shelf for 3 months.. If you want one just let me know, I have 4...

Trigger Systems Crystal Cube 18 Sump Doe anyone have any experience with the Trigger Systems Crystal Cube 18 Sump? I'm thinking about wasting more money and I need something to fit in a 20x24x22 space with a little room to spare. This sump is 18x18x15. I haven't been able to find any write ups...

What is your preferred macro algae to populate a refugium with? This is a clean start fuge. Dragon's Tongue Algae, Blue Hypnea Algae, Chaetomorpha Algae, Something else? The fuge will actually have a display section as well.

Does it really matter how much space is in the input and output side of the sump? I want to maximize the size of the refugeium by having as small of an intake chamber and as small of an output chamber as I need to have. Normally I would test the sh** out of this but right now I don’t have that...

So I bought this light here (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071LJKNWS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) for a sump I'm putting together. The sump will just be growing macro algae in the refugium however I might end up housing misfit murder crabs, starfish, etc. in there as a time...

Fully puffed out it is as big as a softball ... its just a big fat FRA. It is much bigger since this picture. Pick up in Salem.

Refugium Light Question I’m putting a 2nd 10g refugium sump (the first one is a 5g HOB) on my tank. It will be a refugium from the over flow into the sump and out by return. I already have a HOB skimmer. I have most everything figured out except I’m questioning my choice of lighting now. I...

I'm putting together a 10g sump once my baffles get in. It will just be in overflow in, refugium, I guess some trays for carbon or something, and then return out. I will probably use most of the tank for the refugium and keep the baffles as far apart as I can for that. I will likely want 2-4...

How deep into your sump to you let the overflow tube go? Right to the bottom? to the top of the tank? Somewhere in the middle? I'm not running socks or a skimmer in this sump just a refugium so I was figuring I'd run the hose all the way to the bottom on the overflow section as I won't ever...

I'm putting in a 10 gallon sump for my 40br. I already have a large HOB skimmer and a large HOB refugium. I'm going to use the sump as a refugium/frag tank as well as a time out room if I need to take out a bully or a murder crab. I'm using an Eshopps PF-300 Overflow Box and I will have 1"...

Peppermint Shrimp vs. Scarlet Skunk Shrimp vs. Blood Shrimp vs. a fish I'm thinking of getting a few shrimp or bonded pairs for my tank (or i fish to do the same duties). I've read some of the pro's and cons of each but I have a few questions that didn't really get answered so I thought I'd...

Weird Creepy Crawly Thing So I have what appears to be one or more really small nudibranchs in my tank that I can’t ID. They are about 2MM and glow bright orange like the micro zoa in this picture … any ideas? Sorry about the picture quality … but these things are SO small.

I have a bunch of Purigen bags I don't need anymore. They have been used for a few months but i have recharged them. But you can clean/recharge them when you get them as they have just been sitting in a jar of distilled water on the shelf for 3 months.. If you want one just let me know, I...

So this week I ordered a bunch of inverts from a website. Instead of my order I received about $300 in fish. Long story short they said to keep the fish or donate them as they wouldn't survive a trip back ... so I did. I found all of the fish a home and kept a few. So my question is about 2...

Is my Yellow Tang lonely? Right now the Yellow Tang (hence forth known as ‘Lemon Head’) is in a tank with a ton of corals/snails/hermit crabs (which I know it could care less about) and 4 Blue/Green Reef Chromis, and a mated pair of black clown fish. Lemon Head swims between the Chromis (who...

So I'm wanting to build a 10 gallon sump for my 40GB tank. Right now the tank has a HOB protein skimmer, HOB refurgium, an aquaclear 20 (being replaced by sump), and a fluval 205 (also being replaced by sump). My plans are to remove the mechanical filters (aquaclear and fluval) and add a 10...

I figured I would ask you guys what is best to feed a yellow tang and two black clownfish. They are all new to the tank and moving/getting around fine. The Tang is having a blast eating every bit of algae/seaweed in the tank but I know at some point that will run down and I want to be able to...

so i'm interested in adding these to a tank. What happens when they pair and one dies? Do they bother with Clown Fish? What about them in a tank with a pair of clown fish and a blue tang?

I have some rock in my tank with 1/2" to 1" of hair algae just kind of sitting there and was wondering if I put a frag of coral on there if it would be ok?. I know that I need to reduce my nutrients and increase water changes as my main defense against algae (hair algae in this instance) ...
