Cool thanks there is one on eBay for 50 bucks right now

Hi would a reef octopus bh 2000 be to much for a 20 gallon long?

I just got my used swc 150 protein skimmer. My tank isn't set up but I was wondering if I could test it out and make sure it works

Sweet thanks! Should I add my sand before or after the cycle?

Ok I'm gonna replace the bulbs any recommendations on brand/type

Standard 75 gallon.

I have a 48in coralife duel t5 fixture. Planning on upgrading in the future but can I have any corals with this light?

Sweet thanks! Now I'm I able to cycle and cure the rock at the same time?

I'm getting close to getting my first saltwater aquarium going! I was wondering if I can cycle and cure at the same time in the display tank? I am going to be getting 50lbs if dry rock from BRS and 20lbs from my lfs. Do I need to add anything to raise the ammonia?

Alright so I think I got this figured out. For the overflow I'm gonna use a 800 gph eshopps. And for the return a mag 7. The sump will be set up (left to right) 1st chamber protein skimmer then bubble trap, 2nd chamber return, and 3rd refugium. The return pipe will be split so I can control the...

So when I build my sump should I have the bubble trap before or after the fuge?

Ya I think that's what I'll do! Not a bad price at all.

That's the one I was thinking about getting. Does it fit good in the sump? I was looking at the footprint and I think it was 12.5 * 8.

So I ended up going with the 20L for the sump. Any recommendations for the skimmer?

Has anybody used BRS dry rock?
