I haven't got that far yet... I plan to take my tank to a LFS so they can drill and install overflows. I would guess they would use a 1" hole.

Thanks, I only have a 125g tank and 3 Koralia #4s at this point. I am attempting to create a marine tank. So any advice is helpful. I plan to have the tank drilled soon. So any in depth technical jargon is WAY above my head.

Um... In English, does that mean it would work supposing normal tank conditions. I don't have my tank up and running yet. In fact I am trying to get all the stuff before I check my water...

Is this enough of a pump to have a 125g with a 6' head height? HELP'''

Yeah, I listed the potential chiller costs associated with the MH. I wish someone that uses the Solaris would chime in. As you stated "PC" the only potential downside is the unknown. The initial cost totally sucks but will pay for itself considering it is proven technology. So, if you've...

I just noticed it on the exterior side. The tank is completely beaded with silicone. I was just concerned about the surface area of the joint being reduced since 1/16" was offset. cmor1701d, you stated in another thread about not having a wet/dry and just to go with live rock, skimmer, and a...

Of all the posts I've read nobody has determined which style as the best... It seems like trying to build a better mousetrap... What gives? Which is the best? If it was determined, I could narrow my search. Gimmie some insight here. Thanks in advance... Jimmy T.

Okie Dokie... Kinda new here, sorry'

What are the pros' and cons' of this pump. Moreover, compare the Eheim to the beloved Mag 12 and Mag 9.5. I found the Eheim 1262 for $129.99 at www.drfostersmith.com

So, which is better a sump or wet/dry?

After I fill up the 5 gallon buckets (6-7) for a 20% water change, I just dump them into the tank (of course after I pull some water out, somehow)?

I'll get two overflows on the back wall about 1 foot from the back corner. I plan to have a return pipe through each of the overflows. I lose sleep at night thinking what to do to this tank! I just want to do it correctly. Also, you suggested 3 k-4's. Luckily I did buy 3. However you suggested...

GREAT! I just bought 3 of the K-4's! Where should I put them in the tank? I will have the tank drilled for overflows, likely not in the back corners but rather 1 foot from the corner on the back? I plan to get an Eheim 1262 pump to run internal in a sump. Good idea? I have read many of...

I notice many of them list the GPD. If my 125g loses 5 GPD then why would i get a 75 GPD filter? I plan to only use the RO filter for my aquarium. What gives? I plan to install the RO under my bathroom sink which is on the other side of the wall where I will put my tank.

I want polyps, anemonies, maybe a shirmp or two, a few clowns, tangs, 1-3 anemonies among other fish which are compatable with the clowns, they are my main desire... Are Mags' as good as or better than the Eheim 1262? Additonally, I am not overly concerned with alot of the costs of these...

Hello, So they cost a TON upfront but a couple years down the road, they are cheaper. Right? The Solaris LED 72" is about $3,500. The Outer Orbit 72" 250w model is about $1,200. A chiller is potentially needed for the added heat $500-$1000 Annual bulb change (3-Halide and 8-PCs) is about...

Hello, This is my first post here. I have read numerous posts here and appreciate the widespread knowledge throughout. However, I don't see much about actual quality of products or lack thereof. For instance, I have been told that "Eheim" is like the Mercedez Benz of the aquarium hobby. Is...
