    Need advice on my plumbing plans for system

    Little Giant is a better choice--the Mags run very hot and evaporate a lot of water.

    Need advice on my plumbing plans for system

    Don't mean to sidetrack, but how do you like your 45g? Is it still 36 inches long? I really can't go any longer than this, but the 45G almost seems...

    Need advice on my plumbing plans for system

    I agree completely with Powerman. The idea that water has to be flowing through the sump at enormous rates makes no sense. Powerheads do the job...

    Overflow box/ Return pump question

    Why does the water need to be screaming through his sump at this rate though? Adding a couple powerheads would give him better overall water...

    Overflow box/ Return pump question

    Return in middle is the way to go. If the fuge is in the middle you'd have to make the whole sump run very little water through it. Have the...

    Overflow box/ Return pump question

    Exactly what I do--I control the fuge flow with a ball valve, the rest goes to the sump. I just ordered a smaller pump as I realized I was running...

    Overflow box/ Return pump question

    Is this for a fuge only? Or a sump too? A fuge needs very little flow.

    need some help guys

    The pf300 is plenty, even if you upgrade to a 55g later. If your only turnover for your tank is the return pump (not advised) then you need to go...

    I'm changing my thinking on the whole return pump. I don't think you need anything more than 2-3x turnover of your display tank going through the...

    Royal gramma, firefish, blenny. Dwarf angel might be a little cramped in a 29g, but if you have very few other fish it might work. Angels are so...

    Looking for a cheap nano protein skimmer

    I have the Aqualife 115 in my sump now and it does a very good job. Just make sure you have room for it.

    Types of Fish in tank

    Agreed--most tangs need at least 75, but probably 90 is even better. I'd say your tank is maxed.
