What's the reason for wanting raw DT water going to the fuge rather than water that's been through the skimmer?
No prob!
Lenses range from under $100 to close to $2000. You want a lens that is at least 2.8. Anything "slower" (ie lets in less light will be tough. I...
A 500d is a very good starter camera. In pro photography circles there is a fairly well known way to spend money. Always go for quality lenses over...
What about this idea--is it bad for some of the DT water to go straight into the fuge? Wouldn't that cause some detrius buildup? Couldn't I put all...
As a professional wedding photographer, I can agree with the idea of getting a DSLR if you want quality macro shots, fast lens (ie wide apertures,...
I had lifereef protein skimmer several years ago when I had 75g. The skimmer was excellent. Agree with the above post--not cheap at all, but high...
I really like what you did with the aquascaping. Two corner sections. I never thought of that--I only have a 30 gallon but I might try to do...

Thanks--the fuge flow makes sense. My fuge is quite small--6x10 inches by 8 inches high so water volume will probably be about 3 gallons so I'm...
Anything I can do to decrease the chances? Water change? I thought I remember reading you can raise temp and/or lower salinity?
I know RGs are known for weird stuff, but mine (after coming out of a 3 day hiding) is rubbing himself against the sand on the bottom of the tank....
I'm putting together a sump with some of the overflow water going to the fuge, and the rest to the skimmer section. When I do the plumbing, should...
Great--I want to put some cheato in there!
Is 6500K CF a decent light for a fuge? My fuge is only going to be 4 inches deep with water (4 substrate). They had a 3500K bulb but thought that...
Update--there has been a royal gramma sighting! Not sure how long he'll last consider he hasn't eaten in two days but at least he's not dead!
