I like the rock work. Should be fun to follow. Good luck!
Everything seems fine except for the Alk. It is really, really high and likely your culprit. I would bring the flow up to about 700, but it's not...
You might get lucky and have one land, settle and attach to some rock work. It would be pretty neat. Good luck!
Gotcha. Could I use his plumbing design and use an overflow box instead of the PVC overflow box he used inside of the tank?
How would something like this work? http://www.3reef.com/forums/i-made/non-drilled-tank-alternatives-my-diy-overflow-140523.html Instead of the...
Your Alk is almost twice what it should be at. Get it down to about 150-175 ppm. What is your flow in GPH? What is your light cycle? What is your...
Okay. As suggested, keep an eye on ammonia spikes with your recent additions and moderate feedings. I would also wait to add fish. Let the...

Right, but I was thinking about using PVC to create my own "u-tube" and just continue the PVC to the sump as opposed to it going to another box and...
I agree, I would add a couple more pieces of dry rock, which shouldn't be expensive at all. How long did your tank take to cycle?
Thanks guys!
Would I be able to use an internal overflow and PVC instead of an external overflow and a U tube? If so, how would you design it? (See the difference...
You could always by dry rock for 1/3rd of the price and let it mature on it's own in your tank. I probably wouldn't add more than 4-5 fish to a 36...
They prefer "dirty water", so if this is going in a reef tank, it's probably not a great idea. They also need a rock to attach too. I'll say this,...
It glues to the inside. I would like to use this and run PVC directly to the sump (hook over the top of the tank) rather than having in inner and...
Could I use an internal overflow, like when used on a drilled tank, to do this? I really want to drill, but my tank is tapered.
I am not sure you will get the spread (front to back) you need with LEDs on that unit.
My dream light. Impressive work!
Something I haven't done, but need to do (need some salt), is a saltwater top off. Just tested my salinity and it's at 1.0225!
I've thought about 120, but it would just be more work to move it if I end up changing apartments or moving for work related reasons. Plus, I...
