I am running a Little Giant 4DQX-SC on my 240 gal reef setup. It pushes 1225 @ 3 ft. It is pretty loud, you can feel and hear it in about 1/2 the house. The tank and stand are on waterproof foam padding, with a layer of insulfoam between stand bottom and sump/fuge & pump setup. Can anyone...

Okay, after much wrangling I got my tank, it is not a 180, but a 240. WOW The question I now have is on the plumbing. The tank has dual overflows splitting the back of the tank into thirds. It came drilled with a 1.5" and 1" hole in each. I am reducing down the 1.5" to a 1.25" Durso overflow &...

There are probably ALOT more worms then you think there are in your tank. I came home from work one day to find my LTA had died and the whole bottom of my tank was covered in dead Bristles, I am unsure which was the cause and which was the effect. I was grossed out by the number of dead worms I...

Joes juice is cheap, easily available and QUICK. I had peppermints when the outbreak started and tey did not do a thing for the Apstasia

Why? They are a pain in the butt. I had an outbreak when I was in Playa del Carmen and my neighbor was watching my tank. After the week and a half I came back to ~ 40 of them. Ater 2 bottles of Joe's Juice all was done. Have been pretty vigilant since then and no more outbraeks

I skim mine 24/7 have gone thru 5 different skimmers to find the one I was happy with, spent alot of money but isn't that part of the hobby?

Okay so you all don't want to answer my last question, doesn't matter. My LFS told me to transfer over all the LS, LR and inhabitants at once. After adding the new base rock and sand. The question I have is that I am getting a new sump with the 180 which is about 40 gals, and I want to use my...

I am setting up a second tank and want to do things a little differently. Can I get your ideas plus and minus of sump pumps. Do you put them into your sump or have hem outside. Why and how you decided? Thanks

Okay, I got him straightened out, thank on saving the $$$. My LFS told me the custom stand is in, I'm gonna get it Sunday. He also got me a Berlin sump for 1/2 price. : When I set up the new tank(it'll be ready in a few weeks), I'm gonna use only sand as a substrate and get some base rock(won't...

PremiumAquatics.com sells tiggerpods, articpods and such for abou $20 for 6 oz.

Thanks I will call him Monday and tell him not to bother, it has only been a couple of days I doubt he has really started. If we move it won't be for 10 yrs, we have done too much remodeling to get out anytime soon.

maybe I misspoke, the $250 was just for his blueprints, I will be doing all the work myself. The framing,crossbracing, sheetrock, etc.

I have had my 75 gal reef for a few years now and in the pocess of remodeling our kitchen we decided to redo the whole living room and dining room. This created a nice spot for a 180. Problem 1 - The joists run north -> south, & the tank has to sit north -> south. So I went to a structural...

Okay I am sorry for the mess up. I just went into my profile and the time settigs were wrong, I am workng too many hours,and am going to bednow.
