I don't think the levels of copper trapped would be harmful to inverts. The silicone wouldn't hold enough to actually damage anything that could be put in the tank

I am trying to level my tank and was wondering how important the levelness of the tank is? How Perfect does it have to be? I am trying to figure out a way to level the tank by putting something under the stand. The foundation of the whole house is poured slightly off level so my stand is off and...

Thinking about using the 40 MDRLXT, would this be okay? The SWCD says it can't more than 5 psi, so would this pump eb okay with it. I guess the switching would be fast on the SWCD since it will be very close to 1400. Swift

I know, I just wanted to get as much flow through my tank possible. The SCWD has inputs and outputs of 3/4 inch. The pump has 1 inch, do I have to get a pump to match this or by going from 1 inch to 3/4 will it bring the flow down some. Thanks for the help darb Swift

My head height is about 5 feet. 3 feet of stand and 2 feet of tank. I have to size the pump large enough for the overflow but the scwd can only handle 1400gph. So its hard to find a size that matches. Right now i'm thinking i mgiht split the return before the scwd and have part of it go back...

Okay I am going to use an SCWD w/ 2 spray bars. My overflow is rated at about 1400 gallons per hour. The scwd says no more than 1400 gallons per hour. I am going to have about 5 90* turns and then a spray bar. So with all this stuff what pump will I need to get the job done and match my return...

More flow, two power heads probably won't be enough in a 150 unless you've got a large return pump and overflow. Well tahts for a reef, with a FO you'd be fine.

I am about to plumb the return for my 120 gallon tank and I am considering using two pumps. At first I was just going to use one return pump and have it to go through a spray bar. After seeing a timer that has 15 minute intervals I thought it might be a good idea to alternate between two pumps...

So would it be better to keep a dsb in a fuge than in the main tank? That way the fuge could use the dsb and the display tank would only need a few inches.

It says you can tell them to include a different option for water source. Do not get piercing. Have them give you the hose connector, this will make a simple T hookup. I got something similar for my RO DI unit that I ordered on ebay. T is better because piercing will eventually fail and it is...

If you used a few sponges couldn't you transfer 2 or 3 between the quarantine and the fuge/main tank, that way he would cosntantly have a fresh supply of pods? Then just keep changing so he gets more? Just an idea, I don't even have water in my tank yet. So don't lsiten to me :?

Nobody seems to have a long cycle if they add in fresh live rock. because the bacteria is already there. Especially from LR.com when it is shipped over night.

I just got a similiar setup on ebay. Very good easy to work with and install. I did mine in less than 30 minutes and i'm a teenager. So you should figure it out pretty easily. Came in handy during the hurrricane. Swift

look at recent forecasts its supposed to be turning north. I'm in St. Augustine so I don't want it up here either. It looks like it might go up and turn, type water vapor in at yahoo and you'll find a the water vapor radar map. It shows how its pulling it north east. I just hope it turns away...

Then just hang the motor below it and let it float around in your display tank!! Good thinking Indy!

put the skimmer on stilts or a stand so it is farther out of the water and leave the pump submerged. Then boost the pump up as much as possible so it can deal with higher height

Okay, I don't mind if they don't rotate. Just wanted to make sure it wouldn't damage them to move them myself. I Have three for my 120 gallon and am deciding where to put them. Also accounting its visible from all sides. Hmmm. Swift

thanks.

I have been playing around with mine for a few days and haven't really noticed them rotating. Do they rotate themselves? If i saw any rotation it was just a tiny bit of 1 degree or so. I can spin the head and aim it anyway i want, does this hurt it or is this how you are suppose to guide which...

yes i want to keep sps and clams. Will it be nessesary to have the 400 watt bulb so the light can go down two feet and reach the clams? The tank is deep and that is why I was wondering if the 400 watt bulbs would give better lighting at the bottom of the tank than the 250's so clams and others...

so should I get the 400 or 250 watt, my tank is 24 inches deep. 120 gallon 4x2x2. Which would be the best choice?

Can somebody post a link to where I can get that kit. It sounds very good and i am interested in it. Can I buy the mh and T5's in a kit together or do I have to buy all the different parts of the lighting setup seperatly. Thanks for the help edit: I found the site that has them...

so i should go with the mh and vho set. Why not pc, are they not as good? Di i have to get a certain type of kit for a cetain bulb or do all mh bulbs fit in the same socket? If I went with one of the systems on the site i psoted earlier would i eb able to stick a 250 watt bulb in or would i need...

i am looking at the different kits at this site http://www.marinedepot.com/aquarium_lighting__index.asp?CartId= because i recently bought from them and everything went very well, so i will enjoy doing business with them again. Anyway I have a 120 (4x2x2) tank and want everything, corals clams...

YAY! I love the yellow and blue for their simple color. Since they are both reef safe I think they will be okay together. I'll buy them as juveniles, so they "grow up" together and are not as likely to want to beat each other up. Should they be placed in the tank at the end or the begining? The...
