the fuge is a box 14X14 that is 18 inches deep. The plan is 6 inches of DSB with 11inches of water on top. I plan on growing macro algee, and possiable keeping some seahorses(down the road), my wife really wants some. The fuge will house a cleaning crew to keep the sand, as I understand that...

Ok I am reading and reading and have run accross an interesting idea, build a plenum under my DSB in my fuge. I was planning on a DSB of between 5 and 6 inches, this is plenty deep for placing a plenum under and still have 5 inches of sand above. Are any of you using a plenum, are there...

OK, lets assume my tank is plumbed and tested, water flow is good. I have a tank, sump and refuge full of good saltwater. I need to strate with Live Rock, Sand and Macro Algee. The live rock needs to be ordered and cured, sand is in a bag, and algee is at a store. Is it ok to place sand in...

I have a 55gallon that will have about 20 gallons of sump/refuge. I plan on fish, softies, shoorm, zoos something like that, I have yet to figure this part out. I will be placing about 90lbs of live rock in it and the sump/fuge. DSB in the fuge, shallow sand in the tank. I am thinking of...

If I make the sump from Rubbermaid, what do I make seperating sections and a bubble trap out of? Silicon would hold stuff in place if the container does not flex much. What you think?

I have given my cut sheet to the local glass cutter place and they want $80 to CUT the glass for the Fuge and $70 to cut the glass for my Sump. They will charge between $20 and $60 a hole to drill the glass, so I guess I will do that myself. Question, at these prices, is it better to go with...

I am working though my Sump and fuge design, I am close to being happy with it, now to get a quote on the glass... I am going to have a 55 gallon with a lot of live rock. My fuge design has DSB, macro algee and a little live rock, and some animal that will help maintain the sand bed. There...

Would this wourk... putting a spillway, if you will, for the out flow of the fuge could maintain a water level of 11.5 inches or so. Would that be worth the effort? I am trying to build a fuge that will have slow movement, get the benefit of the DSB and possibly keep some sea horses or other...

The tank is an 55 gallon All Glass Aquarium from Petsmart. Their website indicates that hte bottom is tempered, no metion of the sides. http://www.all-glass.com/services/index.html Would drilling a side be benefitial, or does it only work when you drill the tops

Start off here is the initial design... Idea is to have water from the tank to be routed 1/3 to the fuge, and 2/3 stright to the sump. Initial plan was to have a overflowbox like this: http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewI...dproduct=CR1517 I have posted over at reef central and given...

are you selling the lights as well. I am in Irvine :-) we can talk.

I am going to start small (that is all the wife will allow :-) ) I have a 20 tall that I will convert to salt. Planning on having a 10 gallon Sump in the stand with some filter material, bio balls and deep sand bed. In the main tank I am thinking shallow sand (2-3 inches) and live rock. I...

What are the dimentions on the box? The part I am most interested in would be the overhang depth, will it fit under my hood? (I have a custom hood, it can have up to 3" of overhang.

Rocket I would love to know how you have delt with water movement/surface movement in your 55. My 55 is also a room divder and I am currently struggling with how to get good surface movement from my Magnum350 pro set up. I have taken out the blue rock, replaced it with black sand, I love the...
