    Yet another DIY Sump/Refugium Plan!

    Ok, here's the situation. My parents went away on a week's vacation, and... they left the keys to the brand new porsche... oh wait... wrong forum and decade. Ha. Right. So I'm planning out a 90G sump/refugium for a 180G in-wall tank. What I hope to get out of the refugium is nutrient...

    Wanted: 75G glass/acrylic tank

    I need a 75G tank. Acrylic would be preferable, but glass will do. I'm doing some odd tank juggling and I need it for temporary storage. :-\

    Sump blockage disaster

    So I went down to my tank the other day, heard a strange noise before I even got there. My first squishy step into the fish room made it clear there was a problem. So I've got a small 15G or so sump; pump is on the left and what would be the wet/dry part is on the right. I had a fairly fine...

    unhappy zoos, cyano

    One fine day, my pinpoint ph meter went out. Low battery; oh well, my ph had been steady at 8.2 for quite a while so I wasn't worried. Everything in the tank was happy as can be. Then, another fine day my skimmer pump went out. Took me a week and a half to get it replaced. By that time, my...

    cobwebs in the tank; corals puking?

    So I've had a reef tank for about five years now and have moved it from one house to another. So I'm not a n00b, but at times I wish I could just slow down and think more. I'm decidedly lazy. So much so that I do water changes in my 75G about once a month... sometimes it's gone two months or...

    Need YOUR opinion on SmartLamps

    I've been using 4 96W CFs over my 75G for several years now and they've been working very well for every kind of coral I've tried so far (leathers, SPS, LPS, anemone, etc). I'm thinking of SLIGHTLY changing how I do things. Specifically, right now I'm using 2 10k coralife bulbs and 2 7100k...

    180 gallon lighting

    I'm planning a tank-in-wall setup and as yet have not decided what size tank I'm going to have. Either a 120 or a 180... cost will play a factor as always. And one of the cost factors is lighting. I have a 75G right now with 4 96W PCs, two super white, two actinic. Haven't tried the...

    Tank In Wall Project

    Howdy. I live in the Northern Virginia area and am in the extremely early stages of looking into a talk-in-wall setup. I have a 75G right now that's in its own "fish room" ... the fish room is adjacent to a hallway, the storage room, and the big room with the pool table. It's in the wall...

    Red Sea ... Turbo?

    I THINK I have a Berlin Turbo. I seem to vaguely remember that's what I bought a couple of years ago. How do I tell the difference between that and a Classic? It's got an integrated pump that takes air from the tube, forces it through the pump and up the center column. Anyway, last night the...
