    Skimmer stinks like rotten Eggs

    Quick BTA question.

    Maintaining water level in the sump

    What type of drain did you install? If you just ran pipe without an air vent, it could be getting air-locked (still drains, but in surges). Don't...

    How do you clean back glass?

    New stand material?

    It appears to be a lot safer, as the chemicals used are readily available to the public, unlike ACQ, CA, and the now-fully-banned CCA used in...

    Vortech Pumps and Night Mode

    Correct- night mode has it's own speed, and it runs for 10 hours then automatically reverts the pump back to whatever mode you have programmed.

    Vortech Pumps and Night Mode

    Help me choose an Angelfish

    Grrr, Six Line Wrasse

    Probably not anytime soon, if at all. Sorry, but I had to laugh. Sounds just like my kind of luck.

    Newbie bulkhead question

    I won't say your method won't work Zesty, but having an overflow that skims the surface of the DT is the safest and easiest. Water cannot jump up...

    Optimum Overturn Rate

    Most run their sump around 5x the DT volume to allow their skimmer, reactors, etc to process the water more efficiently.

    Optimum Overturn Rate

    Yes. Pumps, etc are rated by gallons per hour (gph). In a 50g tank, 2500 gph (total from all pumps) would equal a turnover rate of 50x.

    Phosgaurd or GFO

    True... for SPS and clams, you'll want to avoid nutrient spikes and will need a low-range kit to do so.
