Yes your question is answered, but I just want to add..... it is not very porous like reef rock. So as a base for your bio filter, it simply has less...
Keep the media you use in mesh bags so it is easier to remove and clean. (I mean the LR) Just make your bubble traps an inch wide. So 2 inches. If...
Ya, I use BRS. Just ordered GFO myself and Irun ROX .8. While I think Rox is great, the tiny size does plug up faster. I might go with BRS's...
There is a 1000 ways to skin a cat. We all play with our stuff and configure it how we want. There is no "wrong and right". The Mag12 flows 1200gph...
It is unnecessary. Water will flow because there is pressure. If you have a valve at 1, then how are you going to get water up 4 feet to your...
Awesome. Bet you can't wait to get that skimmer fired up!!!
Just another plug for a good controller with adequate safety measures in place. Equipment fails. Even temp probes and controllers. But with all the...
It is what it is. There are trade offs. Carbon does not "need" High" flow. It can just handle it. The flow for the GFO is going to be the limiting...
01:50 MST and all is well. Tank is looking good.;D I need a web cam.

I have an equipment closet and ran into the same thing at first. You did a good job on your ventilation so that is saving a lot. If you get a...

I grow cheato and have no NO3, good growth and no algae. My Cheato does not even grow much. But I have been using a API PO4 kit and appearantly it is...
I have monitored pumps and power consumption for 20 years. You will reduce the life span of a pump by pluging it in. You can't take one pump and...
Mine are at zero. Now Ijust need to see about my PO$. Got some GFO headed my way. I'm on nights this weekend and I was keeping an eye on your...
You guys did a great job with the aqua scape. Yuo can't please everyone, but I love it. Very open and "cavy" on the bottom, lots of sand... love it....
That is a killer price tag. What I have really looked for is more like 50/50 MH/T5. Most stuff is either or with MH having suplementation. Like 2x250...
Awesome tank by the way. I want a 60x30x24. The 5 foot has it's chalenges for lights. For what I want it would be best like it was mentioned to build...
I always thought that was pretty funny. I mean 1.5" is huge. I run mine on an inch. It is a matter of less restriction and getting the most flow. But...
