    T5 vs. MH vs. LED

    Just to throw my experience in... I am using T5 and LED. Using the T5 because that's what I had and added the LED because I wanted the shimmer. Seems to be working well. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

    40 breeder help

    Sorry, have been slacking on checking this forum. I went with a 29G tank for my sump. It made more sense to have the extra water volume. I did add a portion for a fuge. I don't count on it being the main nutrient export though.

    I currently use an Eheim 3000 and don't have one complaint. It's quiet and you have the ability to adjust the flow rate. It seems like the Sicce pumps get good reviews as well. I also use pvc plumbing for my return and my overflow plumbing. For my overflow, I use 1.5" pvc, but I only use one...

    Do you have an idea on what return pump you're going to go with?

    I definitely respect the use of those CPR overflows, but I would definitely drill the tank and install an overflow. You can check out Building an Obsession. They are currently building me an overflow for my next tank. If you look at their store (I'll link to it below), you can order their...

    I use a Glass-Holes 700GPH overflow on my breeder. I think its a bit loud, but that's just me. What other plans do you have for your tank?

    Thanks for fixing that! I haven't been able to get on the site to see what the issue is.

    It has been way too long without an update! The tank seems to be doing really well. I went through a small cyano outbreak but after a few weeks it pretty much stopped. I also had a neo-therm heater that blew up in my sump and ended up killing almost all my fish and killed a few coral. Haha...

    Received my new pieces today. Not too bad looking. Hopefully I can get them to color up and grow! And some of the other ones...

    Kinda just trucking along on the tank. Wish I could get a FTS that gave you an idea of what the tank looks like in person, but this is the best I can do. I also ordered a few new pieces. Tyree L.E. Bali Tri Color, ORA Joe the Coral, Crayola Plana.

    Got all my new toys today! Set up the Phosban 150 and am hoping it works out. The WXM module is amazing! Programming the Vortechs are really easy with the new fusion. I also picked up Julian's Thing. I think it will be a little easier to spot feed corals. Here's a picture of my Vortech graph...

    I ordered a reactor this morning to combat my phosphates. Have a little bit of hair algae growing. I've definitely been over feeding so I'm cutting way back on that. I added a Hanna phosphate checker to the order as well. I also ordered the 2nd MP10w and the WXM module. Everything should be...

    I thought I added this last night, but guess not. Here's the breeder. It's seen better days, but its still trucking along.

    Thanks! Once I get the Zoanthids to fill in and get some more piece going out, I think it will look pretty good.
