Is this a good unit I didn't get the di for it

Do you think a 20g long to small for a sump??

Here are some other pictures I took, from what I can tell it looks like the previous owner put those black pieces over the brace so I think it is an eurobraced

Ya look up sumpless tanks that's the route I'm gonna go with as I don't have the space for a sump or deal with the plumbing. I'm debating using my fluval 404 as it will require lots of maintenance with my schedule it'll be hard. Look into just getting a HOB skimmer reef octopus makes good ones...

Maybe shave it down to make the HOB to fit?

This was the only thing I can find but that was in 2011 Anchorage, AK 2011 Ph: 8 Nitrate: 3.0ppm Chlorine (and variants): 0.91ppm Flouride: 1.18ppm Phosphate: Unknown Sulfate: Unknown Lead: 2.44ppb

Yes I know its a no no and the best route is to get an ro/di unit. I haven't tested my water with a tds meter not sure were to get one. But I tested my water out of the faucet I get 0 nitrate 0 nitrite 0 ammonia. Would you still not use tap water or would I be safe and just get some water...

So I was gifted with a free 125g tank that I want to go sumpless. Ya I know its a must to go with a sump but 1. I don't want to deal with the plumbing and 2. Wife is going to hate the noise. So I was planning on getting a reef octopus BH 1000 or 90 not sure which route I want to go and then get...

I've read that silica 20 is a hit or miss it's like pool filter sand also read some people using play sand with no issue

No worries we've all been there a skimmer skims top of the water and collects all (well not all) the bad stuff like fish poop and waste I wouldn't use any of that stuff you listed but I've heard people been successfully with the canister filter I guess it has its pro and con to it. I was...

Located in anchorage just thought not to many hobbist out here

Thanks just thought I'd asked I've resealed 2 29g tanks with no issues, this one is going to be fun

A little update spent another 2hrs clean and almost there. Quick question has anyone ever resealed a tank without removing the original seal, like just going over the old seal. I know stupid question

Thank you I did the nail thing and my nail was able to take the seal off. That was my whole assumption to reseal the tank. Updated after 2 hr I was able to get the front and side panels clean and clear,next is the back. Sorry I vaped into the tank :lol:
