2x250w with VHO Super Actinics.
It won't clog if you use some sort of a strainer. If you put a return pump in that shollow of water you had better have a reliable ATO working or you...
Just drill the side of the tank at the bottom instead of the bottom glass. You can make some standpipe much more quiet then you can a external OF...
Titanium heater not glass. Better get that temp swing under control because it will cause stress in the tank.
For a 1" bulkhead switch to a standpipe of 1.5 to 1.75 or even 2" to allow for more down force on the bulkhead.
The new server is awsome so far, thanks for the upgrades there KingFish! :)
Usually you see all of your evap in your sump and not display tank. Sounds like you have the OF box set up wrong. If you have the chance to drill the...

You need to get RO/DI water in that tank ASAP with some water changes. I would start there first. What are your other parameters at?? Mg, Ca, PO4,...
Tap water???? Holy crap batman, you shouldn't be using tap water. Only RO/DI should be going in the tank. If the polyps are are turning brown it is...
Drilled tanks will allow more flow due to using gravity and pressure of the water to force the water through a standpipe. Drilled is by far the...

Good starter going. At least you will have good bacteria to start your next tank.
Glad to hear things are healing up. Better make sure you get her a nice thank you gift... :)
No on Aquanotes as I use a local host to hold my data. My ACIII is hooked to my home network all the time and is online when ever I want to see it....

Get them ordered people so Matt can work on the next batch. :)
Also enlarging the pipe size of the standpipe will cause more downflow pressure on the bulkhead and you can get more flow out of the tank.
