    Free Salt Water

    I was thinking of buying a 1000L water tank that could fit on my trailer. I've been doing a lot of fishing with friends recently and have started to notice that as the tide is coming to its highest point, the water is much clearer, especially the closer I get to open Sea as opposed to a Bay. I...

    Using Topfin Freshwater for ATO ok?

    So I found this at petsmart and is closer than LFS an hour away to get water. I’ve been using to supply my ATO for about a month and I notice a bacterial bloom and possible infection in fish. Is this ok to be using in place of RODI water.

    Surface Biofilm problems

    When I turned flow oftoday to feed acans, I noticed a slick film on the surface and a few bubbles caught under it. It’s a bit harder to notice with the flow on. I have both return bills and wavemaker pointed at surface for agitation and a Nero 3 on the way. Is this normal ?

    How do you do a water change neatly?

    Personally, I've been siphoning out around 10 to 15 gallons of my 90 gal tank into buckets, dump them in bathtub, then AC pump it back in to the display. Doing this obviously causes my tank to become cloudy, disrupt my sand bed, and stress my inhabitants. What do you guys do to lessen the...
