Better make sure you got something so it doesn't jump, nice pick up.
To remedy this, I have already drilled a small hole in the return nozzle just below the water line to the DT to act as a siphon break, so at least...
That's what I think basically happened, except that the DT tank never overflow. I think the pump while still on, stopped pumping, resulting in water...
That's a good thought, but the air intake was well above the water when I found it this morning. Even if that happened, it would overflow into the...
Here's a pic. Hopefully you can see the red arrow pointing to the first bulkhead. That is the highest one, so in order for the skimmer to overflow,...
I'll post a pic of the sump area. I don't think I ran out of top off water b/c I usually use about 1 gallon a day, if that. The ATO would have used...
Well I woke up and went to check on my tank when I hear a strange noise coming from my sump. I look and to my horror I find my return pump area had...
Is it an australian elegance or Indonesian elegance?
Look for AquaC Remora skimmers, some people like their coralife skimmer as well, but for that size tank, the aquaC will be perfect.
Any updates?
One more thing, you may have heat issues too. That depends on the ambient room temp. and the cooling system you devise. When you actually get it set...
That will work, but coral placement will be key as many lps won't color up as well b/c there's too much light, but sps should love it. If you don't...
The screen method works well, but I would use 3 layers and not 5.
When you said 3 returns, you described drains. Returns go from the sump to the DT. If you want two returns going to the DT on one pump and have 7ft....
As word of advice, you should add the most aggressive fish in your tank last. As far as your current situation, as long as the aggression isn't too...
Hair algae can become a nightmare, but there are ways to fight it. What I would do is siphon out as much of the residual hair algae left in the tank....
I have to agree that it's really a priority thing. I save on other aspects of my expenses. Although I am lucky right now, I'm still in school, law...
That's not true at all. Black mangroves are smaller you usually need to float them on top of the water to ensure that the green part is above the...
Sound like a nudibranch to me, that would explain the montis being eaten, but not the acros. Maybe red bugs? It does seem like you've got something....
I like your idea of the angel, clowns and eel. (Although personally I don't like eels, they remind me too much of snakes.) I also like the idea of a...
