Ate my sand sifting Goby. I saw it happen but didnt stop it because it would have happened eventually. Should i have seen this coming? Will a bigger Goby work better?

So i accidently left my protein skimmer off on my 150 gal tank for aproximately 48 hrs. Fish and corals all seem to be doing well. Is there anything i should be concerned about besides the obvious?

I hope I can still post Beginner's Corner because that's what I still feel like. Well the tank is up and running, and running great. I had to make a couple changes. First, the pump I was using was just to powerful and was overheating the sump so I backed it down and that really helped my...

Hey everyone! Excited to be here on this forum and looking forward to learning from all the vets out there!! I'm a total rookie at this marine tank thing. Bought a rr150 the other day and that's about as far as I got! The plumbing that came with it makes no sense. If you don't mind I have a...
