Questions: - Is there a reason you're not running the entire system off a single, large filtration system? - You say "no bioreactors" - does...
Craigslist is the bomb. You can find amazing deals on most stuff. I would guess that you can get most of what you need for well under your budget by...
I've used my Apex to control them in the past. They are a great powerhead because they are relatively cheap and don't complain when they are turned...
What is your plan to accommodate the return water from the tank? It will be moving quickly and will create a significant amount of micro bubbles. A...
I've used my JBJ for about 7 years now. Great little unit, inexpensive, never a problem with it. Nice safety shutoff feature.
"Whats the #1 thing a nano/pico reef should have?" I'm going out on a limb here, but my first guess would be: water ;D Seriously, I'm not...
Updates: - My old Solaris sitting over my semi-reef finally gave up the ghost. Good thing I had just received my new Hydras! (and Director). Wow, I...
I don't know if this has been discussed here lately, but it's worth mentioning. I subscribed to Amazon Prime about 6 months ago so I could order...
If you can swing the 75, do that. It is much better than a 55 as the extra width allows for better aquascapes. Since you are planning a sump, if you...
Vinny pretty much has it and has a good question. How big is your main tank? A purple needs a fair amount of space.
I'm curious as to how you used Best Buy gift cards to buy Newegg gift cards. Does Newegg accept them?

I just placed my order for additional lighting. After much deliberation I've decided to go with four base Hydras to supplement my existing five Sol...
No, it's not open. We're actually using the aquarium "stand" to cover up the fact that we need to cut into the floor to give head height for the...
I've never had mine hooked up to a PH monitor. I have the dosing pump turn on for 30 minutes at a time at varying intervals throughout the day - with...
Tex, I've tried a Calcium Reactor before and found it to be somewhat of a pain to dial in and maintain. A number of years ago I switched to a Kalk...
A couple more pics: First, I've decided to go with two Reef Octopus Diablo DC pumps for my return. The two of them together in parallel will get...
Christy's Red Hot Blue Glue - this stuff is the bomb, dries quickly and is bullet-proof
My only reservation would be turning off the pump. Having all that water stagnant in the hoses/chiller...
The Mag 12 is enough by itself. At 800 gph you're getting just over 6x tank volume turned over per hour. That's enough.
