Yep, the 307 is a beast. I've got one on my 40 gallon and it's been chugging along without a hitch. The flow's a bit much for my Betta, so I had to baffle it with a sponge. Works like a charm now.

I've got a refugium setup and I'm considering adding a skimmer, but I'm running into an issue. If I put the skimmer in the refugium, it's likely to suck in the chaeto. Has anyone else dealt with this problem? How did you manage to keep the chaeto out of the skimmer? I'm not keen on using a HOB ...

Yeah, I learned the hard way that Duckweed doesn't play nice. Now I stick to Frogbit and Salvinia. They're way less sketchy and still do the job.

Another great option I'd recommend is Unique Corals. Not only do they offer an impressive selection, but ...

Hi,

I'm making the switch from freshwater to saltwater and I have a ton of questions. I'll start with this one. I'm planning to buy Live Sand, LR, and fish all at once from an established tank. I currently have an empty tank. My question is, do I still need to cycle my tank before adding ...

Even with the addition of pre-cured live sand and live rock, there will still be some die-off of the creatures. I would still recommend cycling the tank for a few weeks, around three, and make sure to skim during this period. What type of fish are you looking to introduce, and what's the size of ...
