Looking for a prizm skimmer, don't need the deluxe kind just the regular one. If you have a new or slightly used one PM me with details and price. Thanks!

cj10488, thanks for the response. The yellow tube is the waste water line, which I haven't hooked up yet. You're correct, the copper pipe that is connected to the hot water pipe goes to the dishwasher. Then there are 2 silver color pipes (thinner) one connected to the hot water pipe, the...

Hello, I bought a reef RO system on ebay from aquasafecanada. I imagine several others on the board have bought the same or similar ones on ebay so I thought maybe someone could help. I am installing this and I am not sure if I put the valve on the correct pipe. I have a copper cold water...

Question for the board... I have a 40 gallon corner acrylic tank, w/build in sump. I have a seaclone 100 skimmer, that won't fit in the sump (sump is too narrow) so I have to hang it on the back. To make a long story short, to get it to hang on the back is going to be a royal pain. I'll...

I am setting up a 40 gal acrylic corner tank, and I am starting on lighting from scratch. Need to know what will be sufficient yet the most affordable. I plan on having small fish, a couple shrimp and most likely some live rock, no corals, etc. I probably can only have a 24" long fixture due...

Okay, I am venturing into the saltwater world for the first time. I have a 40 gallon corner acrylic tank, I will be using, with a wet/dry filter. I have been reading as much as I can online and am learning by the minute, but wanted some "live" advice from you guys. My initial plan is to...
