Ok, I take is back, the overflow section of the DT is open, and the sump has an opening about 3in x 12in where the skimmer stickes out and the drain...

Nice looking reef!! Cool video. I'm not sure if this is a big deal, but that little 6 legged starfish, about 3:30mins into to video, might be a...
Coralline will only grow on your glass if you never clean it. When I first set my tank up, new coralline was starting to grow, on the rocks, and the...
I use a little over a gallon a week of RO water for evap. My PH is around 8.1-8.3, and I haven't seen phosphates for 2 years. I do dose PH though,...
