Thank you, someone finally agrees with me. I said the same thing in the ASAP forum. I suggested using Weld-On #4. It's just not worth the risk of...
I wouldn't risk the uncertainty of silicon adhering to acrylic on any external portion of a sump. If it was internal to a sump, like a baffle...
Probably copepods or baby amphipods, both are good for your tank. They will become food, and will clean your sand.
Those sound like 48" T5 lighting, since it is 54W bulbs. The 40W lights look to be normal output 48" T12 lighting. CF don't come in those wattages....
Wow, 150W MH on 24G is a ton of lighting. There is nothing he won't be able to put in there that won't grow due to lighting needs. The fishes will...
Put a big lionfish in there, or a big angler. ;)
You are using silicone on acrylic though. I don't want to be a pessimist here, but that is not a good idea, you may come home to a drained sump and...
Looks good. I would cover up your duplex outlets though. The last thing you want is for that to get corroded by the salty humidity in a sump area....
I see that your tank was reborn 5 months ago, is this the 180G tank? I had a bacteria bloom in my 150G, with patches of white fungus looking stuff...
I would suggest thinking about incorporating a refugium in your reef to consume the undesireables. Reef bugs can get expensive if you are using that...
Are you sure the hitch hiker anemone is actually a BTA? Most LFS are very careful when it comes to anemones and not letting any get away for free....
Silicone will NOT work well on acrylic. Using that is asking for disaster. You need to use Weld-On #4 for acrylic if you want to repair it.
Get a good skimmer and clear up that murkey water. :)
I'm so sorry for your loss. :(
How big is your tank? 150W HQI is good for about a 50G tank that's about 20" deep, and even that is on the borderline of not enough, if you want...
What type of fish do you plan to have in your tank? Do you want reef? If so, PC lighting won't be enough. Do you have live sand? To get your tank...
Anemones will decompose very fast when they die, since they are mainly water and soft tissue. If you ever get a bad feeling that it may be dead,...
Some states outlaw mangroves, I read that my state it is illegal to own. I'm going to stick with chaeto in my fuge for that reason. :)
Rats! I didn't even think about that. I'll see how this will work out before I go and re-design it. It's a pain to get the silicon off now. :(...
Are you putting your skimmer in before or after your fuge? I would put your skimmer right before your return. Are you drilling it yourself? If you...
