Has anyone tried to retrofit a coast-to-coast overflow into an existing tank? My 180's (both) have semi-circle overflows in the back two corners. I...
What kind of mesh is that and where did you get it? Those are two potential negatives. The aesthetics is a person choice. I prefer a closed top...
As my signature says: "The only thing that comes fast in a reef tank is disaster." For the very reasons that AZDesertRat pointed out. If you are...
Beneath the hose that's attached to the top of the acrylic box (the drain hose), there is a tray. That tray will hold your filter pad (if you choose...
Set the "ON" high enough that full water won't trigger it. If its only purpose is to control the pump due to wave motion it wont be an issue. Just...
I would think in the sump would work better for what you are trying to do. Running it in the sump would also shut it off when the water level gets...
I don't know anything about the ReefKeeper, but, is there any chance of moving the ATO switch to the sump so that it isn't affected by water movement...
With the situation you have now, your best course of action is water changes on the qt tank. If you move live rock (or anything else) from the...
As the title implies, this is my pre-build thread. I have been out of the hobby for a few years and everything I owned was in storage, along with...
My greatest regret from the first year I was in the saltwater hobby was every single thing I did. If I could do it wrong, I did it wrong. A result of...
At the moment, two. One is for a light to see and the other is to plug a pump up to see if they work or not. Needless to say, my tank system isn't...
I will try to take a few pics but not a lot to see right now. Other than the 125 they are mostly filled with misc parts other than the two 180's. One...
I am Randy. I was here before and took a break and now slowly getting back into the hobby. Main 3 tanks are 2 180's and a 125. Also have a 75 and...
Glad you survived being shocked but the end result of electrocution is death so 3 in one month would be a Guinness Record ;D
The skimmer and bubbles in the return both indicate the low water level in the sump that you corrected with the RODI top off. The presence of...
Is there anyone that does anything with skimmers anymore or has it gotten to the "why bother, skimmers are dirt cheap now" phase?
Yes. Just wondering if anyone knew of any drawbacks to making one. The metal parts in it would have to be done differently because of the saltwater...
The bridge isn't for increased water volume. They will share a sump with the entire system approaching 500 gallons. The bridge is more for the looks...
Has anyone ever seen or built a water bridge without drilling the tanks? I have two 180's that I want to do a bridge between them but the tanks are...
Nice looking tank.
