Thanks Mr_X, I am concerned about using water because I don't have any RODI water available and I don't want to use tap water if it will affect the tank.

Thank you bigdogeder. I am looking forward to my restart.

Hi, I am thinking of getting back into the saltwater hobby. I was a hobbyist back in 2008. I stopped due to my husband passing and it was a hobby he and I enjoyed together and I couldn't bring myself to continuing. I had a 125 gallon saltwater setup with sump and all. My first, getting started...

Well, I was able to sell my LR, fish, snails, crabs and chaeto from my 125 gal. If you remember, I am giving up the hobby due to personal reasons. So, now I have a dirty 125 gal tank to give final cleaning to. It has just about 1" of live sand and water left in the bottom. Due to pulling the...

No problem. That's why I wanted to be sure.

your interest in tank, light and stand Just to be sure I understand you because I am selling my live rock and fish to a LFS on Wednesday. So your interest is in the empty 125 gal reef tank, lighting fixture and cabinet w/o sump or powerheads or skimmer and such. Correct?:confused:

I live in SW Suburb of IL. My asking price depends on what items you are interested in? The DT has 3" bed of live sand. Not exactly sure of the wt. in live rock and the 4 fish mentioned along with original cabinet. I am keeping the sump because my husband and I put that together and I may want...

Due to the death of my husband I have decided to sell my 125 gal. FOWLR tank and cabinet and lighting fixture hood. I have a Tomini Tank, Blue Hippo Tang and 2 pj cardinal fish that I would prefer go with setup. If you have an interest let me know and I will give more detail specifics.

Thanks, I will give that a try!

I am in need of replacing my lens covers in my hood fixture. Their measurements are 70 5/8"L x 3 1/4"W x 1/16"thick. I have gone to Lowe's and Home Depot, no luck. Anybody have any suggestions?:confused::loopy:

So, as long as the primer and glue are used for PVC, it is considered aquarium safe? I went to Lowe's to look at some today and one specifically specified to be used on Schedule 40 PVC which is the type used in my sump. So that kind will be fine? Thanks for the opinion. Had too busy of a weekend...

I put together my T connection off of my return pump that leads into my refuge. I used the blue glue on PVC pipes and silicone caulk. It still leaks! Is there a material I can wrap around it to stop the leak or do I need to start all over again. Hopefully picture attached will help...

What are the meanings of these abbreviations?:???:

My DT lights are all off at 11:00 PM. My refuge lights are not set to go on until 12:30am and stay on til 6:30am. My DT lights don't start up again until 10:00am. Should I not have this gap time w/o any lighting? Should I have my refuge lights go on as soon as DT lights turn off and then turn...

How many hours do you keep your fuge light on?

Okay, I did what you suggested. Shut off the return pump, fed water down the OT in question. A nice steady flow of water came out. I think that my pump is not big enough to handle the return of water. I have an AquaMedic Ocean Runner 2500 that outputs 650gph. My OT's put out 1200gph, total...

Excuse me for being a novice, when you say union connections, what is that? Is that a connection to help take the adjustable drain pipe out so I can see if anything is blocking the drain pipe base?

I have a Model 7 utility pump, 115 volts A.C., 60Hz/65 watt, 1.5 amp in sump now. I have a working AquaMedics Ocean Runner OR2500, 650gph pump on hand. Should I replace my Model 7 with the OR?

Came home from work yesterday and immediately started to work on the overflow tank that is not outputting water. Stuck a smaller PVC pipe through the flexible hose connected to the output portion of overflow, stuck my hand in OT to take out any accumulation that could be blocking it, pumped the...

overflow tanks I have researched and found out that my overflow tanks on my 125 gal All Glass Aquarium put out 1200 gph. What size return pump should I be using for this gph?

I have Twin Internal overflow tanks. My return pump is pumping but when I put my hand up to the return pipe in either overflow the flow is very little. It is just one overflow tank that is not outputting any water. I haven't checked for blockage yet. When I get home from work I will definitely...

Help! I just noticed this AM that one of my overflow tanks is not putting out water into the sump. There is like a yellowish hue appearing on my live rock and sand. I have adjusted the OT pipe up and down and nothing. What can I do?:confused:

Thanks for your input! I am having difficulty sharing my photos on this site. Once I am able to, I will display My Tank.

My 40 gal. long sump/refuge is up and running. Skimmer has a lot of bubbling happening. Now, I want to apply the phosban reactors (2) that I got. My tank is 125 gal. FOWLR right now. Is it necessary to install 2 phosban reactors? My main question is do I put the pump for the reactor in the...

I am having difficulty understanding the concept of the refugium. I have mud, rubble rock and a handful of caulerpa in mine. Water is being fed into the refugium via a tee off of the return pump piping with a ball valve to control the flow. Do I just allow the refugium to fill up with water...
