Those API test that you purchased are actually pretty accurate and are suggested by a lot of people. The test strips as everybody has said are not...
To be honest, there is no magic TDS number that is good or bad. It depends on what is making up that TDS. What the number is, is the ppm of non...
I would also suggest skipping the sand bed. Unless you have enough life in it, or enough flow to keep the detritus from settling it is not good....
You can put quite a bit of flow in a fuge and they will still work well. I say go with what ever setup gives you the larger fuge. What I would do...
Do you need to put a skimmer into this fuge/sump as well, or just the fuge/sump? If it is just fuge/sump, what I would do is just put an eggcrate...
The OM 4 would be a much better solution than powerheads on a wavemaker. The biggest problem with powerheads on a wavemaker is no good high flow...
I would say it is way to little flow, but I am confused. The Korallia Magnums all have over 1500 gph, not only 400. So I am going to guess you have...
Go with a good pump on a closed loop, unless you have a really small tank, the flow from a normal canister filter is not high enough to make much of...
Really can't answer the question without more info. Your T5 fixture could put out quite a bit of light, or just a moderate amount. Does it have...
Besides the spectrum, halogen bulbs put out very little light and a lot of heat compared to good bulbs. I don't even think they will work very well...
There are better and worse T5 bulbs. Some of the really cheap bulbs put out. I hate to do this, but the only place I know if that shows pictures...
A 150 should work for acros in the top of the tank without any problems. If you don't get the viper, I would suggest getting a 250 watt DE pendant...
Yup. And I don't know of a good solvent that will work to hold water with Lexan, I don't think I would even use something like weldon 40 to make...
The pictures show lexan for the main panels as well. I have never seen a brand of acrylic with that white plastic covering. Now the baffle for the...
The best, or most affordable. Best right now I would say ATB hang on, best for the money.. different story. The best bang for the buck, Octopus...
I agree with most of what tigermike says, it is very hard to overskim a tank to cause a problem, it will allow you to feed more. An undersized...
You don't want to do this. Lexan does not glue very well, it is polycarbonate and is very soft and very hard to bond. It is not acrylic. The main...
What I would do is get a filter sock if you want to do mechanical filtration, and put it on your drain pipe. So you would want to leave a little...
Looks very good. Kim
So far I think this is a great skimmer. One of the few small inexpensive units that actually work. Kim
