Do a search on Stockman and Durso standpipes. There are many others too but those are two of the basic,cheap easy to construct models. Maybe $2.00 in...
What size is the overflow line and does it inject air so it flow correctly. Your tank level should be goverened by the retrun pump rate and 400 GPH...
Good catch, they never answered the baffle configuration question I asked. Possibly none, and that could be a problem.
You should not have any problems at all, that system should run smooth as butter. Do you have a standpipe on the overflow and is it set up to mix...
The reactor can hang on the sump rim, either inside or outside, it doesn't matter. Obviously the small powerhead that feeds it will need to be in the...
Drilled overflows like that don't surface skim as well as an overflow box.
Describe you setup. Display size, sump size and baffle configuration, pumps and plumbing incuding any fittings and valves, overflow type, skimmer...
It helped lighten your wallet and fatten the LFs's is all. Nothing, and I will repeat, NOTHING replaces time when it comes to a tanks maturation...
Keep in mind just because you are at 0 on your levels, the tank is nowhere near stable. Do not confuse an initial cycle with maturity. Bacteria grow...

Place 1/2 tablespoon full (approx 5 grams) of media for every 10 gallons of system water in the reactor. Full dose is 10 grams or one full...
I would aim a small clip on fan so it blows across the water surface. Even when the humidity is up it will still lower the temp 5-7 degrees in my...
I have done this Sticky for several other reef forums. Maybe we can get it stuck here too to help out fellow reefers. Installing...
If the bulkhead is inside an internal overflow it will only drain the overflow section. If not I would still drain the system and do it right rather...
I posted phots in a couple of the different AI Sol LED threads of my canopy and how I used T Track to mount the fixtures inside the canopy. That got...
Make sure you are on a GFCI protected circuit too. If not get a portable GFCI and use it, it could save your life.
THe AI Sol Blue has white, blue and royal blue bulbs and each color is adjustable seperately from 0% to 100% in 1% increments. There is no need for a...
GFO only requires 60-80 GPH or it grinds to dust. Not sure what your tank size is but be very cautious about how much GFO you use. Full dose is only...
I purchased the AI Sol Blue and an extremely happy. Yes each module is only 75 watts but thats more than you will ever need. I have two fixtures...
