Post a pic of your overflow so I can see how your CPR box is set up

Yes you do need the pump with the CPR overflow. It's the only way to keep the siphon. unless there is another way to keep the siphon that somebody knows about.

I use the CPR overflow with a siphon pump on my 120 gal. Had the power go out twice and the sump caught the over flow of water from having no power and when it came back on it worked itself out and put the water back into the tank

Any ideas of what this stuff is its starting to sprout on a couple of rocks

Here is my current RO set up and I am wondering where to plug in the DI add on canister Green line is from water line to pre filter, yellow to holding tank and blue to faucet.

In the middle of the rock there is a worm like creature, any idea of what it is and how do I get rid of it if needed.

I mix mine in a trash can with a power head and a heater

It's a good start look at bulkreefsupply.com you also need at least two power heads, base rock and most importantly live rock.

I am no expert but from my experience I'll give you what I know. I'm sure others will chime in and fill in the gaps that I have missed. For water invest in a Rodi unit they are easy to install and will pay for themselves. Don't use tap water. Buying water will get costly as time goes on. Protein...

I feed mine brine shrimp

I have a 35 gal trash can put the water in it with the salt one power head and a heater, let it sit overnight and it's good to go in the morning

What's the best way to clean a rock before putting it in a tank. Obviously a pressure washer to start and let it dry a few days but is there anything else that needs to be done.

Think ill go with the filter socks and put some rock under them. Not sure if there will be room for Cheto the skimmer is going in the open space, hope it fits under the stand.

55gal, 2 clowns, 2 gobys, sand star, 10 gal weekly

Ok would you run filter socks, bio balls or a combo of both.

Looking for opinions on the best way to configure this sump. It's going under a 125 gal tank. Also what type of media would you put in the canisters. The two long filter socks is a divided compartment.

No need for air stones

Ok thanks

Cool thanks

Got a better understanding on lights. As far as live rock would you go all live or mix live and dry. If you would mix what would the ratio be?

Thinking two of these would be enough light, one on each side

I am setting up a 125 gal and want to use it as a reef tank. I have been scouring the web for a light but can't decide on what is best. What would you recommend?

So I just got a (used) 125 gallon tank with a Berliner wd 125 sump. Looking for recommendations on a protein skimmer to go in it. Unsure if I am going reef or fowlr. Going to be a couple weeks before it is set up cause it needs a good cleaning. Also is there a decent place to order live rock from.
