    HOB Refugium Recommendations for 45g Tank

    Any recommendations on a decent HOB Refugium that isn't too big for a 45g tank? I'm new to these, so not sure what all I need other than a grow light and the refugium.

    Chemi Pure + Phosguard?

    I was wondering does anyone know if it is ok to use chemi pure elite and Phosguard in filtration at same time? I didn't know for sure if for some odd reason mixing the two would have any kind of negative affect on my tank which i wouldn't think so saying its removing things out of my tank not...

    Media Reactors vs Calcium Reactors

    So I'm completely new to reactors and got an IM reactor in a recent tank pick up. I guess my question is, what is the difference between media reactor vs a calcium reactor? Can you use one for the other or are they completely independent?

    Copper....filtration method in QT?

    So I'm setting up a couple of QT tanks as it appears some of my fish have started getting ICK (figures seeing I just took my UV Sterilizer off line last month).

    Should I Change Out Carbon?

    So I'm still learning, but when I got my tank 4 months ago, it came with carbon bags. I'm not sure how old they were or how long they were used, but I never replaced them with new carbon when I started the tank up. One I ended up switching out for Chemi-pure Elite and still haven't touched the...

    Do small mangrove tanks need filtration?

    I'm thinking of putting two small tanks on either side of my 90" mixed reef. Originally i was going to plump it into the tank.. but I'm thinking that might be overkill. That is, if the Mangrove tanks don't need filtration in the first place. These "tanks" would be more like shallow 5-10...
