    What have you learned today?

    Not exactly today, but I've learned to never start a small tank with the intention of upgrading. It's a lot cheaper, faster, and easier to build the...

    Plumbing Question!

    That should be fine. Just make sure all returns are at or near the surface of the water in the DT to limit backflow in the event of a power outage.

    Plumbing Question!

    A lot of systems use 1" drain and 3/4" return. I don't see a problem with it.

    How soon is too soon for a water change?

    +1 While not desirable, a NO3 reading of up to 50 is mostly harmless. Slow down, Cowpoke! You're going to turn the hobby into a stressful,...

    Cycle woes.

    Which is better.......55tall or 55 standard?

    Which is better.......55tall or 55 standard?

    +2 totally agreed. FWIW, the 12" width is very restricting, even with my 29h. I'd suggest a 65, or at least a 40B. The 55 might be ok for smaller...

    Protein skimmer during cycle?

    Nope. IMO, it's the same. With mostly dry rock, you want the DOCs to remain to help boost your bio-filter. With uncured live rock, OTOH, you'll get...

    Testing during the Cycle?
