    Sump for 125g DT

    I have a 55g that has been completely torn down for a reseal. This will be used for a sump on my 125g DT. Since the height of the 55g (19") will make it tight to work on/in when inside the DT's stand, what do you think about cutting it down? If you would, how much height would you cut down...

    Digger's 125gal FOWLR build

    So I'm about to get started building and I promise to provide lots of pictures along the way. This build will take a while for several reasons: 1. I like to do things right the first time. One of my favorite lines in a movie is "Son, the Ruskies don't take a dump without a plan." - Stripes :D...

    The more I read about setting up sumps, the more confused I get. My questions... DSB or no DSB? Filter sock on sump inlet or not? I think I've decided on a sump/refugium with LR rubble and some chaeto. Also will feed the fuge seperately in order to control the water flow through it...

    PVC and Saltwater

    I've only seen solid core PVC used in aquariums, but does anyone have any experience with/know if foam core pvc is marine tank safe? Working on a DYI overflow for my non-drilled 125 gal build.

    New Build Dilemma! 75gal or 125gal

    I do have room for a 125gal DT but just barely. I have an opportunity to trade my 75gal w/stand plus $200 for a new 125gal w/stand. Would it be worth it to increase the size? I currently have no other equipment so having to trade out equipment is not a problem. My wife says to keep the 75gal...
