    Opinions wanted: help me select an overflow box!

    If you cannot drill Eshopps has some nice overflow boxes in many sizes for a decent price. I got the Nano for my 29 gal tank and it's pretty quiet too.

    CUC 29g

    ReefCleaners.org | Clean Up Crews and Macro Algae - Home Great selection and price. They will also give you their recommendation on what to get for you tank size. You can then downsize it (I did) on how much diatoms and algae you have or if you feel it's just too much. willy0508

    Instant Ocean Salt Mix

    Not to Hijack the thread, I was thinking about the same thing. I've got a 30 FOWLR and have been using Instant Ocean Salt. Want to start on corals soon so I wondered if I should now switch to Instant Ocean Reef Crystals or is the regular salt OK? Can I just start doing PWC's with the Reef...

    Refuge overflow size?

    I'm thinking it was one of the HOB's from Aquatraders. It had a skimmer built in and it said 250 on it. My buddy got it from Ebay. I took it off the other day since the intake leaked a little. When I went to take it apart to put some tape around the threads the intake tube broke right at the...

    Refuge overflow size?

    Thanks Gti but I have a hob but didn't like the big pump in the Tank. Didn't like that the light reflected in the tank at night and the area for the chaeto didn't seen to get enough flow. It was below the return. I was also a little worried about the weight sitting on the back of the tank. I...
