So I decide to do things right and setup a QT. I seed it with sand from my DT, wait a month, all the parameters are fine. I add a clown fish. It...
Yeah, I was leaning towards the Bubble Magus NAC 3+ or 3.5 rated at 65 gallons. It's smaller but also cheaper.
So if I feed every other day and have a pretty light bioload, a skimmer rated up to 100g is probably too much? I have a 30g with 10 extra gallons in...
No problem--besides the messy water for a day it was fairly easy to do. With limited space under my tank, it was an easy way to add more volume. I...
Good idea. Here u go!
Is there a point where it's counterproductive to have a large skimmer? For example, my 30g tank with an additional 10g of water for the fuge/skimmer...
Well, the dust (literally) has settled on my redesigned sump. The HOB fuge sits on the back of the 10g sump and then dumps into the return section....
No, most of the water is coming from the overflow box, but some of the water from the overflow will be going to the fuge (controlled by a ball...
I know on most sumps the return section is in the middle so that the fuge water and skimmer water spill into the return section--I added a HOB fuge...
I belong to a local reef club and I'm pretty sure they deliver to individual addresses.
I thought about that--my 30g stand could hold it but it would leave literally no room. Plus, getting it in there would mean I'd have to cut the back...
Well, here I go again overthinking things...my 10g sump currently has a 6x10x8 area for a fuge. Not great, but holds some chaeto and a DSB. The...
I've never owned a coral in my life, but probably will within the next year. I have a QT for all my incoming fish to get them healthy before putting...
I'm planning on getting the deluxe reactor from BRS so leaking shouldn't be an issue. I would just have to get the necessary plumbing parts (Y...
People keep telling me to stay away from hooking it up like they show in Diagram 2 of that manual, but to me it makes sense as long as your return...
Exactly how all 5 of mine perished.
Really? That slow for GFO? I am thinking about getting a reactor from BRS and am hedging and hawing about which Maxi Jet pump I should get with it....
My 5 turbo snails have all died in 6 weeks. They fall over, I fix them, then they don't move for a week and die. They look great, but my other...
Thanks, my fuge is 10x6 which is OK but I keep thinking I should have done a 20L instead and given the fuge more room. My return section could be...
Oh I forgot, my sump water level is right at 8 inches. The Bubble Magus site says 8-10 inches so I'm hoping it's going to be OK.
