I have a 10 gallon sump I just built. I made the first baffle at a 45 degree angle and put the intake and skimmer together. The middle section is a fuge an d last section is the return. It is my first sump build, but so far I like it because with the first baffle at 45 degrees I looks like just...

Good to know! I really want it to be quiet. I just want to make sure that if an overflow is rated at 300 gph, can have a pump rated at 296.

I'm considering purchasing an Eshopps PF-300 Overflow Box - Up to 75 gallons

I have a 20g tank with a 10 gallon sump. I plan on getting the Eshopps-PF-300-Overflow-Box. It is rated at 300 gph, so I wanted to see if I needed something to maintain at least 300gph to maintain the siphon. I am pretty new to this. Will a Eheim 1000 compact pump work? It is rated for 296...

When I first purchased this live rock these pink things were not on there. I think it may be some sort of coral. Any ideas? They are very small and hard.

Oh 8.0 (consistent) Ammonia 0 Nitrite 1.0 (down from last test. Was 2.0 3 days ago) Nitrate 0 (also down)

Should I remove it or see what happens? I have been reading that keeping it could be ok. I have a pretty new system (2 months). I'll test the parameters and post in a few. 20 gallon with a skimmer. Power filter rated at 85 gallons. 425 GPh power head. 20 lbs live rock and 20 lbs live sand. Only...

I looked at the aquafuge, but it is a little pricey. I'm kind of a DYI type of person anyway :thumb:

I may go the individual skimmer route. I decided that my 55 gallon will not be set up for quite some time since I really have no room in my house to put it. Also lights and everything is way more than I want to spend in the short term. I think instead I am going to build a DIY aquarium...

I think I'm going I give the aquatop pse1 a try. It should work just fine for a 20 gallon and I can probably put some media in it like you mentioned earlier.

I'll have to check those out. I way to get some corals but I don't have lighting to properly take care of them. Maybe for Christmas!

Hey! Just noticed that you are in San Diego too! What LFS do you think is the best. I usually go to Aquatic Warehouse, but they always seem so busy. Maybe that is a good thing...

Thanks for the reply Obscurreef. My current powerfilter is rated for 46 - 70 gallons (340 gph). The intake is in the middle though, so making it a DIY fuge seems pretty difficult. GFO? Where do you put that? In the powerfilter? I checked out the Hydro model, and I think I am more drawn...

I guess I could always use the HOB Fuge on another aquarium later though. In case i want to do a Nano reef or something.

I like your tank. Just curious, because I'm new, do you put your LR against the glass?

So, I want to spend about $200 to upgrade my filtration on my 20g saltwater tank. I have a credit on Amazon, so whatever I get I need to get from that site. Here is my current setup: Home made coke bottle skimmer (wet skim and works for now) Tetra Whisper EX70 Power Filter Koralia Evolution...

No. I don't think so. Those are a little thin to be what I have.

If you look along the left side of the tubes, some of them look like they have little wisps coming out of them. May be the camera though. I will check again when I get home

It looks like we have a conundrum!

I wonder if they could be Vermetid gastropods. I have not found any pictures like what I have, but that is the closest I have found. I would like to ID everything in my tank because I am a geek like that.

Good to know. Thanks for the reply

They're Japanese! They can survive the winter

1) I use a chlorination remover for fish tanks and ponds, and just add it as I trickle the water in the pond. The fish in a pond are pretty hardy, and with the amount of water you have in your pond it should not be too much of an issue. I put in a couple of squirts, and then trickle the water...

Hello Forum! I wanted to say hello to everyone and say "thank you" in advance for any future advice. I started cycling a 20 gallon tank (standard) about 1 month ago. I have about 5 lbs crushed coral (on the bottom), 20lbs of live sand on top of that, and 15 lbs of live rock. It's an old...

It's not hard if that answers your question :). I'm pretty new to aquariums and I'm about a month into cycling my live rock.
