Ok so I have finally got my nitrates down from over 180 to in between 10 and 20, the PH is 8.2, the ammonia is 0, the nitrite is 0, and the phosphates are 0. I have ripped internal overflow out and now I am just wondering if it is time for fish?! What kind of fish should I start with since I...

I was afraid of something like this! how can I stop the internal overflow? What else do I need to get to have this tank with a sump?

Speaking of help...I need more :) do I even need that dark plastic piece? Could I just hang the back part on like this and everything work correctly?

oops sorry about that, thanks for the help!

that is great! thanks! Looks like its time for a trip to home depot! I will let you know when its done or I get confused again! :)

that helps alot! thank you so much, I figured that I would have them backwards or something! What about the overflow? I have no idea how that is supposed to work?

Ok, so I have a bunch of new stuff and I am not 100% sure how to get it hooked up. I really appreciate the help I've gotten so far and so do my fish! :) 1st question is how it should be hooked up, I think that is should look like this. What kind of connections should I use to connect the...

do you think I could take out those bio balls and put in some crushed lr?

I have a 90 gallon and a 40 gallon I am thinking that this setup will go on the 40 gallon b/c I want to have low to medium light corals and fish. Is that not a good skimmer?

I was just wanting to ask for thoughts or feedback on the following purchase. Is this fair, should I add anything, any other deals out there? Thanks alot! :) $190.00 for the sump and skimmer: Skimmer is this: http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=RS1111 and here are pics of the...

Thanks so much guys!! :D

you can just use regular people food?! are there any other threads about what to feed the fish? how offen do you feed them that stuff?

Wow never even thought of that! Do you get the food from a LFS or can I get it online?

I feed them twice a day with the flake food, and once with frozen brine shrimp on the weekend. I haven't checked my dads tank yet, I will do that tonight. What should I be feeding?

the way it is now there are four of the blue damsels and a yellow tang in the 95 gallon and the smaller domino and blue (with yellow fin) damsel in the 40 gallon. I would like to move them all to the 95 gallon until I can get better water setup for the 40 gallon. (the hair alge is going crazy)

so can I put the damsels together to free up my other tank?

I am looking to buy the 30" current PC light setup with moon light for $50. I like a lot of the medium light coral and would like to have a clown fish and anemone later on. Would this be sufficient for my tank? http://www.dfwmas.org/Forums/viewtopic.php?t=26324

Yeah thats why I want to put them all into one tank so I can have a tank for more suitable fish. I can't get rid of them b/c they are my dads (I am fish sitting for a long while) so I was just wondering if I could put the small ones with the big ones without having the tiny guys get killed?

Can I put these fish together? there are two tiny damsels in the 40gal, the black one and a blue one with yellow tail and 4 of these big blue ones in the 95 gallon. The pics are almost accurate to size, will these big guys eat/pick on the tiny ones?

lol There seems to be a few around here I've noticed? old pics

Can "used" items be any good? or should I just stick with new? "Aqua C EV-200 protien skimmer w/ Mag 12 pump -- This is the older model before the all new EV series that has the air valve and John Guest fitting. This skimmer does not have that. The skimmer has two spray injectors and two air...

sounds good, now i just need a skimmer. is this one any good? http://dallas.craigslist.org/for/267153178.html

Hey thanks! All of that plumbing is what is so confusing for me! Is there somewhere that describes what I would need for just the skimmer and pump until I can get a fuge?

Can anyone explain how these type of skimmers work? I assume at minimum I will need a pump and a skimmer in the tank to start with? Do any chemicals go in the skimmer? Thanks in advance! This is not my setup...I don't have anything except the tank yet. I was thinking of the skimmer above but...

Yeah I saw those threads but I still wasn't sure what all I was supposed to put in the skimmer and sump. I wanted to make the sump sometime in the future so I wanted to buy an "in sump" skimmer so that I wouldn't have to buy one later.
