I have decided to by a Clearwater CW-50 from bulk reef supply on Black Friday with a new skimmer. I have spent some time trying to figure out how to mount this in my sump for the Red Sea Reefer 250. I believe I came up with a great way. There is not much information about this on youtube or...

I seem to have a problem growing cheato. I bought some cheato from Algae Barn a good few months ago and that seems to be a much thicker strain of cheato than what the local reefers and LFS have here. The Algae Barn stuff is hanging in there, but not growing and any of the local stuff just melts...

I get this question fairly regularly. Sometimes, the answer is pretty cut and dry. Other times, it's very much dependent on your specific tank setup and/or conditions. Things that might affect your decision might include (but are certainly not limited to): Feeding rate on an average daily...

I just purchased a Clear Water 50 algae scrubber for my RSR250, anyone by chance have one of these or that can recommend a silent pump for it? Clear water recommends 150gph. I was told the jebao 2000 dct would work perfectly for this application but at 520gph even with 8 settings and maybe a...
