Hello fellow Wetarms! I have a 55 gallon reef tank with a 40 gallon sump (in my basement) and am having issues regulating the temp. I have three 150w Cobalt Aquatics heaters in the sump in three different areas. The temp fluctuates up to five degrees when all three are set at 80. I am adding...

Is this a 15 gallon tank? A Foxface needs a 125 to be stress free. I wouldn't listen to a damn thing your store guy says if he recommended that for your tank.

You're not a real Reefer until your tank suddenly looks like crap for no reason. Lol Ted's got you covered, good luck!

Aww...man that sucks! I would think running some carbon would help with the anem toxins (if you have any). Water changes and removing everything that's dead promptly should deal with most of the rest. I don't think a heater failure would kill off your beneficial bacteria in your rock. Unless...

I think it all can be attributed to Erin not changing out her avatar pic once a week anymore. :LOL:

If I could suggest a change it would be the tank showcase system. I'm not sure why a progress thread with pics in the thread is less viable than having the notes and comments separate from the pictures. I may jsut be using it wrong, but that too shows an issue with the system. lol

Is the surface of the tank still or rippled? More agitation of the surface is what gains you Oxygen. Have you tested your water parameters? Have you added any new fish recently?

Just how fast is that growing?

I feed every other day but used to feed only twice a week. My clowns never had any issues.

Does that crab look like this? If it does, it's NOT reef safe. Mine ate my starfish (and no telling what else) before he got a new home in the sump.

Marvelous! I'm totally jealous!

Is that a Longhorn Cowfish on your list? Might be his horns.

Oooooooh! Nice! is that a clownfish I see? I thought Seahorses had a very short list of tankmates that were compatible?

Damn people suck!

I do 5% twice a week. But mine is set up to where I just turn on two ball valves and turn them back off again.

wait...what just happened?

Gimme a heads up when you do the Acans and Duncans. Glad you and everyone else enjoyed the giveaway. I had a few things to sort out in my tank before getting new stuff so hesitated. Oh well. Off to the FLFS this weekend!

Definitely a filter bivalve of some sort. That Kenya does NOT look happy either. Oh, and: OK, Scarecrow! lol

I had a similar issue and just pointed my powerheads towards the surface more for a bit until it cleared.

Small frequent changes are much better. Any dramatic change is bad, even if it's reducing a bad parameter dramatically.
