Where are you drilling the tank? Myself I would drill the back near the top with 2 holes, and make a box that was 20 inches long, 3 inches front to...
I would grab that eurereef. But then I like needlewheels, a lot less electricity than becketts and easier to tune. Kim
Looks very nice. Are you going to put the coralvue fan so it blows over the cold spot on the bulbs (label end)? If you keep the cold spot around 35...
For a reflector to work well, it has to have pretty exacting bend angles. I love DIY, but DIY reflectors unless you are copying a good one is not a...
Geo's are one of the best reactors out there, but they a little on the spendy side..... Kim
Depends on the length of the tank, but a normal shop light type fixture will work, you would just want like one plant grow bulb and a actinic to make...
Lots of people do. It allows the calcium reactor affluent to be released in the skimmer to off gass any extra CO2 so you have a higher pH in the...
It sounds like your impeller might be broken or have something in it. What pump are you using? Can you open it up and clean it and make sure the...
Of those I would go with the turboflotor to be honest I always say go larger on the skimmer than you think you need. Kim
Glad to help. I would still suggest trying other foods as well to try and keep the diet as varied as possible. Kim
Will it hurt the fuge..... No, but if you get the phosphate levels low enough you will find that the algae will slow down, but that is fine. I am...

I would also suggest the Octopus NW-150 for a 75 gallon system it will be great, and it is normally less than $200. Kim
So far the only decent nano skimmer I have found the Aquatic Life 115 skimmer. It seems to work very well for the money. Most of the others are...
Instructions... instructions. That is one of the biggest downfalls to octopus skimmers. In general they are the best bang for the buck and work...
Me I would not suggest either one of those skimmers. They are both good skimmers and will work well, but I don't like the power consumption of the...
Yes it is still possible, but it will cloud the tank up. The best way to do it, is put the new sand in a plastic bag, sink the bag of sand, then...
I finally got a few pictures of the one I have running in my shop. [img] Kim
I have not taken one apart on a bullet, but most of them, have the beckett mounted in a 2 part housing that you can take apart. Once the beckett is...
Sounds like this is a freshwater tank correct? Do you have any live plants in the tank? If not decrease the lighting on the tank, or put some live...
