    Finally I get to start my own build thread! 120 gallon cube!

    DIY bio pellet help (what do ya think, complete?)

    I'm not so sure you want to do that. Use the flow you have. Putting holes in the tube will just give you undirected flow. We are talking the supply...

    DIY bio pellet help (what do ya think, complete?)

    As far as tumble.... yes, you want a gentle tumble. You want to slough off bacteria, you do not want to "scrub" them off entirely. Even if you have...

    I realize you do not have a ton of room to work with... but I assume the left is drain/fuge?, then skimmer, then return right? There is possible...

    Skimmer or Algae Scrubber?

    Then you should be able to figure it out. You have "X" amount of nutrients. Remove them how you see fit. There is a whole host of ways. Use one, use...

    Skimmer or Algae Scrubber?

    But it does matter that they compete. Growing macro in a refugium is nutrient export. You already have it. Growing other algea someplace else, will...

    Skimmer or Algae Scrubber?

    It's a little rough to use a moded Seaclone as the proof skimmers are not better than ATS. I'm no skimmer snob, but there are a lot better. And I'm...

    Added carbon and GFO, now skimmer pulsing

    Skimmer question?

    12.5" is pretty shallow for a sump. You can find a skimmer that works, but you bigger concern is having the reserve volume in the sump to handle the...

    Skimmer question/observation

    Calling all skimmer gurus!
