I ran two for awhile. I didn't find that the results were useful at all. One skimmer was picking up everything and the other just wouldn't skim. They...
I would look at those size requirements as more of rough guesses. Just go with what ever size will fit well under your stand. The design you posted...
That should be about right if not a little under, which is always good.
I would go with the fuge. Unless you are trying to get a display look with minimal live rock in it, you will have plenty of rock in the DT. It's...
You can use most any model of HOB filter to make a fuge. The advantage of the Aqua Clears is that you can see some of what's going on inside. I think...
How long have they been missing? They are most likely just hiding. The engineer could very well have burrowed into the fresh new sand to relax....
Most of them do great in a reef. The only one I would recommend is a pin cushion, otherwise known as the tuxedo urchin. There are others that are...
Yes to both questions. Spores from coralline, sponges and many other things can survive for an amazingly long time without growing. Coralline is very...
I had one of those that I turned into a fuge for awhile. You can find a cheap clip on light for it and put a grow bulb in it. Half of the cage that...
Looks like a good start. I think I need to invest in a chair...

So the vodka basically turns your tank into a bacterial fuge? Very interesting thread. Thank for bringing us all along with you.
I'm gonna second the Grey Goose and also throw in Sky. Good stuff. Sorry I know nothing about this, but here's a free bump. If your fish start...
Sounds like a lot of thought went into this plan. I like the idea of a sheltered DSB and use of algae scrubber. I look forward to seeing results. Is...
I agree it will be well worth the extra time to get the lights just the way you want them from the start. On that note, have you planned for an ATO....
Very well done. I agree with painting the back. Can we get some closer pictures? I want to see some details.
Yours has good taste. Mine likes to tote around some nasty GSP. I wish it would tear it all off the rocks for me.
Thank you. It takes time, but I'm sure you will get there.
