My lighting is a Tao 125w clone from eBay blue & white LEDs with independent power supplies and dimmers. I also have a Dioder set of 4 rails mounted into the Tao clone to give me nice color. And you're right about not fixing it. I'll do sone research later on the hoses. Right now, immediately...

The hose size doesn't bother me that much. One reason is that that canister add probably better than 3 more gallons of water and polishes the water like a merf. I suppose I could go smaller diameter but that would be like pinching a hose water hose. The intake is a surface skimmer, so that's...

The filter is designed for this size hose and the flow is perfect. I'm not going to change them in this build, maybe the returns hose end. I'll end up hiding most of the hose with rock and coral The heater will get changed eventually. I used what I had on hand for a start up I will eventually...

Well, here's my new 4 gallon pico reef.

Thanks! I think my wife is liking it. I wish I started a much larger tank but the size and heft of this stand makes it look do much larger. I'm praying that once its up and running, it will be pretty quiet. The type of overflow system (BeanAnimals) I'm using is supposed to be tunable to prevent...

Here is what I basically started from...I made the canopy.

Hey, thanks. I have 35lbs of dry rock soaking right now i'm gonna add maybe 40 more of LR. I'm planning a nice back wall for corals. Very few fish. Even though I will be scrubbing and polishing the water,I don't want to put a heavy bio-load on this tank. Maybe a clown for my anemone, a cool goby...

And another shot:

Here's a shot of my custom 29 tall reef tank and cabinet. Just getting underway. This began as a old sink cabinet. I could've bought a cheaper 150 gal tank and stand for 1/3 of what I already have in this one but the cabinet was sturdy and all maple, so... 4 coats of semigloss black and...

Yep. It's an antique I've had for a long time. Makes for a nice stand. I've got two betta females in the tank along with a moss ball and a couple of Amazon swords. Can't wait to swap the good for a nice T5 and plant it up.

My deal d'jour off Craigslist today for $15. More pics to come as the dust settles....

Ok, tank's cycled. I have a few hermits, turbo snails and a domino damsel. I picked up a few corals yesterday and epoxied them in place. A couple of frogspawn and a few acans. What supplements do I need to add to the water?

I'm wondering about the same for my 8 gal and if it would help my flow...

I just converted my Biocube from freshwater to salt. Saturday, I added water from my LFS along with 4 lbs of live rock, live sand and cranked it up. Running a Koralia 250gph for circulation. I cut the tab between the first and second chamber, added biomedia on top of maybe 6 bioballs. New pump...
