    Pre-filters for Mag drives locally

    Anybody know where to get pre-filters for a Mag 3 and Mag 9.5 locally? I started running a bio pellet reactor last week and I am quickly realizing I WILL need them. Also wouldn't hurt to put one on my return. Let me know if you've seen them around or I will just have to order online. TIA!

    Advantages and disadvantages of running a bio pellet reactor

    Well I've had a BRS bio pellet reactor sitting around for like a month 1/2 that I won at the swap. I'm just starting to get to it. I did some research and it's kind of confusing me. Mostly everyone says it's good but some say it may be bad. I have a 90G that has been running for about two 1/2...

    A suggestion to whom it may concern.

    I noticed on threads when someone posts attached thumbnails you have to x out and re-open every picture individually. Is there any way to add next and back arrows? I'm in no way of too much knowledge to this so I don't know if it's even possible. TIA!

    I was wondering how do people go about cleaning their test tubes. Yes I do use API. I know not everyone uses them. Please don't turn this into a "use this or those test are unreliable" thread.

    Copperbands and coral

    I know a copperband is a "with caution" fish for reefs. I'm just wondering for those with experience with them, what would you say the chance of it nipping at coral would be. I would be feeding twice a day. I know they can be difficult to get eating but I would really try and get one that is...

    Anybody know what kind of Macro Algae this is?

    I believe it is a Macro Algae. Started out as the smallest thing possible and grew out to what I have now and just keeps growing. I've had it in my 29BC for six months. It doesn't seem to be causing any sort of problems and it actually looks really nice. It doesn't stick to anything just...
