Either take the above prototypical wet-dry systems media out entirely or start with a bare tank, add a large quantity of cured live rock to aforesaid wet-dry sump or gravel-less tank, toss in an efficient protein skimmer and you have the essence of a Berlin-Style filtered set-up.

Now, lets take a look at a typical marine tank set-up; A small water volume, with lots of non-filter feeders, happily over-fed. Small wonder the battle to limit their waste build-up.

The next subsections delve into filtration methods as principally biological, physical/mechanical, and chemical. All three kinds of filtration occur in all types of filters; and all potential filters you evaluate for purchase/use should be weighed for their efficiencies/manipulation for all three.

Whats the best means of securing the threaded nut to your through put fittings? With a smear of 100% Silicone Sealant... allowing a bit of shaking, tank movement (they do at times) w/o breaking... and even the possibility of easier removal should you want to... Did a gasket (maybe two) come with each through-put fitting? Smear a little Silicone on either side of it and the flat of the fitting and place it... on the inside of the tank side... if/shou

Shelldweller from Lake Tanganyika

Lamprologus ocellatus

There are several species of shelldwellers in lake Tanganyika, but this one is definitely my favorite, Lamprologus ocellatus. Shelldwellers are maybe not the most .

Refugium reverse photo period, could it actually fuel daytime algae?
I was just reading some articles about PH and whatnot (Randy Holmes Farley stuff) and started to think about CO2. If algae gives off Co2 at night time when it isn't photosynthesizing, then the chaeto ball in my fuge is doing just that during the day when the fuge light is off and the display light i.
