I like the idea of drilling my tank as it will look nicer, I just can't get the though out of my mind that I will crack it. Glass-holes.com offers...
I'm in the same boat, U- tube siphon or drill. I know how to setup an overflow with a u-tube, not so much by drilling.
Interesting. Seems like others are doing it with success. I would be hesitant, personally.
Doesn't Styrofoam release toxic by products over time?
I still haven't been able to get any growth and the little bit in the tank (from frags) is bleaching. Temperature: 76-80 degrees Salinity: 35-36...
I only have a LPS and a few soft corals, bu the LPS extends his tentacles at night, so I thought it might be a good idea to supplement phyto.
It will most likely die. No sense in investing in one to watch it suffer. I too have a cycle question. I bought a 55 gallon and will be upgrading...
Fantastic. So I will need to look for an overflow box and a pump in the 120-200 GPH range with a 20.
With that established, does the pump/overflow need to be rated 6-10 times greater than the DT or the sump?
I want the intake to equal the outflow, correct? That would mean that the pump should be rated the same as the overflow. If either are out of balance...
Well which is it lol? Also, should the heater be rated for the sump or DT?
Mag 9.5. So I would want a 120-200 gph pump. What about over flow?
So I need a 2000 gph overflow for a 1000 gph pump? Wouldn't u want them to be similar?
What's the rule of thumb for this? Looking to go with a 20 gallon tall sump under a 55 gallon tank. I was offered (by another 3reefer) a 950 GPH...
How often should I dose? I was going to does after every water change (every 1-2 weeks). Too often, not often enough? Good?
I use distilled for my 20, but my lfs is offering ro for cheaper, so I'll begin to use it. I haven't had a single algae issue with distilled. I...
Fantastic. When the head begins to split on a candy cane, does a new calcareous "arm" shoot off too?
This.
Might make a big splash lol.
Toss something, see if he'll play fetch. ;)
