That 30 would be a great size for a sump. If you go at least 50% of the size of the display, it should be fine.
I think, of your system has been running for a while, and your numbers are where you want them, why change? It's debatable whether a skimmer on a...
What are you currently using for chemical and mechanical filtration? What are your water parameters? What measurable thing do you say is wrong with...
Thanks Matt. This forum has saved me a lot of frustration, time, and money. $2/month is a bargain.
The loss in quality is barely perceptible. In fact, by the time you make adjustments in contrast, brightness, white balance, sharpening, ect., the...
Very sharp. What is your white balance set on?
Most internet based programs are set up for jpeg. I just use nef for the capture them covert to jpeg after processing. The basic will process the raw...

I would do a bucket run with it just to be safe. At that time you can also keep an eye out for hitchhikers. The hyper/hypo salinity dip isn't a bad...
I think of your clam stands a chance, it will need all the light you can give it. It's already receiving less light on the bottom. The fish should be...
How is the elegance doing?
So, a carbon reactor is a different animal? It doesn't tumble? I also read that extruded carbon is less likely to cause HLLE?
It's visible how much more yellow the water is today. Can you run carbon in an overflow? I just changed out the phosguard that's in there but I'm...
