Here's what I would do: 1) Buy a strong Rubbermaid trash can, a submersible pump capable of pumping water upstairs (probaby a Mag 12), some barbed...
I'll also throw in my two cents on glass vs. acrylic, having owned both in large sized tanks. I've always been a glass guy, but due to a number of...
Deep Sea Aquatics is one of the best in the industry. Go with them over Glass Cages in a heartbeat. No comparison in quality between the two.
The Sol Blues.
I am running the AI Sols. I really like them. The only negative I can say is that the controller is a little flaky. I had one go bad on me and the...
Close - it was a nasty smell for sure. Actually I learned a few interesting things and have some more updates: - The Apex signal is...
Yes - I learned that you can't use a Cat 5 USB extender with the Neptune Apex.
For anything under a couple hundred gallons that's not a special shape I'd recommend glass due to the reasons listed previously. There are plenty of...
I think I understand what you're communicating. You have a 750 gph pump sending water back to the display tank from the sump - which means that this...
You will want at least 1200 gph running through your sump and more like 2000 is ideal.
I've never had a Deltec, but I've had a host of others. I've never had one that has been as consistently good as the Bubble King I've got now.
I use a weird system that suspends from the top - probably not duplicatable (sp?) on too many other systems. In my last tank I got a magnetic...
Large tanks aren't usually tempered.
Have you updated your firmware?
I would highly recommend drilling it. Find a glass local company to do it for you if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.
It was actually pretty quick. The longest thing, by far, was trying to get the pump pipes though the chamber wall. Total work time was probably a...
I've set this up to be separate from the ATO. This allows me to modify the amount of Kalk entering the system. So I still have the ATO system. The...
I wanted to give enough room for the top to be fully engaged (it's not in the pic) and have a couple inches of height difference between the drain...
I just finished my Kalk reactor. New thread: http://www.3reef.com/forums/i-made/diy-kalk-reactor-122037.html#post1210919
I've been using a Precision Marine Kalk reactor to dose Kalk into my tank. However, I haven't been happy with the stirring pump mechanism. It uses a...
