Welcome to 3Reef, home of the 3 reefer's! May your journey be filled with bright healthy species and massive polyp extension!
I have the same set up, so I run 2 return pumps. You may need to throttle them back a bit but, it will save your tank!
When you tire of animals in it, you could turn it into a snow cone maker! Or cotton candy!
Anybody use reef_pets on ebay? They advertise on here all the time and they are 4 hours away from me. There sps looks amazing!
Great review, check out "Sanjay's Spectral Analysis of LED lighting" as well, a worth while read!
Im not sure there is a such thing as too much air! I think you are correct in your adjustment. I have never adjusted the air on my skimmer, only...
Make sure that your glass is not tempered, tempered glass cannot be drilled.
Joe's Juice or Aiptasia-X work well, same with Kalk paste. If you can borrow a CBB, that will work as well, but your tank is too small to keep one...
XM's are great bulbs, I am running 10K on my tank, my coral grows like weeds! I bit more yellow than the 20K but I don't really care that much about...

I have a G-2 that was doing the same thing, I ended up buying a new pump for it, now it works great. I will have to try the vinegar thing with the...
Ya, that's the best thing you can do. A single t8 fixture that size shouldn't be very costly. Curious, for that size tank, assuming it is fish only...
+1 to that, I have Aquatic life actinic bulbs on my tank right now and they are way better than the ones that I replaced, ATI, I think. I would...
Bulk Reef Supply will give you a free bottle of calibration fluid if you buy a refractometer from them.
Yes, that is preferred. I have the same one, mine will drift a little once or twice a month but it is a snap to calibrate with RODI unit. I would...
I use a maxi-jet and some 1/2" tubing and everything goes out/in the sump with the pumps off. With a heater and some mixing, the water is identical...
