Get a refractometer. It will pay for itself. Trust me. You will be alarmed to find out what your true SG reading is once you get a refractometer and...
Well, the canopy sure does keep the tank cooler. But now I have to top off more frequently.
thank you
Thanks. It's the Current USA 18 inch with one 18 Watt SlimPaq 10K and one 18 watt 460nm Actinic Blue T5 HO fluorescent lamp. The fans don't bother...
My 10 gallon nano was getting about 82 degrees F during mid day, so I decided to construct a canopy to cool my lights down. I apologize for the lack...
Nice start.
haha. wow. A $3,500 pancake machine.
Absolutely not. I lost 2 diamond gobies due to jumping and that was with a glass lid. There was only a 1/2 inch crack in the back but somehow they...
Affirmative!
The fiji pink is really cool. It's very smooth and super white with a pink tint under actinic lights. Or the arag-alive special grade reef sand. Both...
awesome dude. Maybe i'll just burn my algae to fuel the power consumption of my tank setup. LOL;D
I second that. It's always good to be able to run chemical and mechanical when needed. But I don't really recommend HOB's for saltwater tanks. Sumps...
MMmmmmm. That is tough. Personally I like the bowfront better, but I'm not sure if it would be worth the transfer.
if you go to a hardware store, you can get a sheet of acrylic or Plexiglas to make a lid. As for cleanup, try a wet sponge or rag to wipe off that...
Roger that. How does it help on noise? I also plan on the end of the drain being submerged to help reduce slashing noise. Do you see a problem with...
What do you mean? Like an air line tubing above water level to release pressure due to siphoning?
I still like the idea of using 1" on the drain, so I don't have to worry about my return flooding the DT before it can drain back down. I guess I'll...
OK thanks. I will just sit the pump in the return section of the sump so I wouldn't need an inlet tube, and I noticed that some pumps just have a...
Or would vinyl tubing work better on the return than pvc to reduce elbows? Also, How do you attatch the pvc or tubing to the pump outlet? Or does it...
And all you are doing is 300 gph??? You can do that with 3/4 tubing. 1" and 1.25 is way more than you need. I have that on my main system doing 800...
