I have been thinking about going with the single middle overflow lately. I'm doing a black background so it would blend perfectly. I was concerned about how much space it would take up on the 18" across. Is it hard to workaround?

Well I heard that the brace gets caked with salt that's impossible to clean but I'm assuming if the aga has 2braces then it's not really a perfecto issue. I also had no clue that perfecto is marineland and I guess my concern was that the store was trying to sell me a non name brand tank. Thanks...

I've been having a hard time locating the tank I want specifically the Aqueon 125 gallon with dual corner overflows. The LFS said they had a back dual overflow but they no longer get the corner ones in. They could special order it but it will take months to arrive. Is there any reason why...

Well I measured from the bottom of my stairs to bottom of tank is just over 12' and then from floor to tank is probably another 5'. I'm assuming I don't have to measure the horizontal length from top of basement stairs to the floor of the tank. I found this chart mid page. Mag pump chart It...

Thanks

The room directly below my tank Has the main water supply. I was thinking about installing a sink and mixing a large bin of water for changes (25 gallons). It's the perfect spot for ro/di too. My question is will a normal relatively inexpensive powerhead be able to get the water up the stairs...

Thanks for the recommendations. I fixed that link. I was looking into the Berlin sumps in comparison to precision marine a couple of weeks ago but I couldn't find much info. What's the difference between the Berlin sumps and the Wet dry? Is it the filter sock? The aqueon he showed me had one...

So went to start buying some stuff today and the LFS started recommending other equipment. Wanted to see if i could get your opinions. Recommended I go with a marineland model 3 sump or aqueons sump. He told me he wasnt familiar with the specific model but in general precision marine is just a...

I think he looks more like Gheorge Muresan (Google Image Result for http://fansided.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/muresan1.jpg)

So I'm putting together an equipment list for my first saltwater plunge. Let me know what you guys think. I'm open to suggestion if there is better equipment out there. Some stuff I'm stuck between two choices so opinions would be appreciated. I'm not doing coral to start however I want to...

Found a 125 Aqueon with dual overflow in the corners. They also have one that has the overflows on the back wall of the tank. Debating on which to get. LFS said they can special order though so thats good news.

Thanks for this by the way. Great starting point for me!

Well i appreciate your design but i didnt really understand it :). Keep in mind i can hardly screw in a lightbulb. I guess my only option is the intank black boxes. The one i was originally looking at had 1 corner with 2 tubes so im guessing the dual corner would be one tube each side and...

So the overflow box would normally hang on like an inside corner of the tank? The 90 gallon i was originally thinking about getting dedicated the entire back left side for this over flow box and i didnt love the look of it especially since most people coming into the house would see that black...

I noticed you listed quarantine tank in your initial message so Ill take that as a necessity as well. If you could give me brands that would be great! Im on the fence about the coral. Based on what I'm reading i just dont think im experienced enough to launch a tank with them immediately so...

Yea that was more of a wish list than anything. :rolleyes: I will start with very basic coral and fish once i get up and running. I stopped into the store today to do a little research on equipment. Ended up speaking with a salesman who openly said dont buy most of the equipment here in...

I wish i could pay you to come set up the tank :). The fish that I would love to have over the course of a couple of years are 1-2 Mandarinfish Flame Angel coral Beauty 1-2 Clownfish Regal Tang A puffer fish Blue ring angel 30-60 various crab Some of the Coral that has caught my eye Green...

Really great info. Much appreciated. Im still debating on having them come and setup since you are correct in saying that i am not handy whatsoever. However I do think it would be nice to know the ins and outs of the tank. Im concerned not setting up the tank will cause more problems for...

I guess i need to do a bit more research :). Im going to probably go with the 90 gallon since it will probably look better and doesnt seem to be a great deal different than the 120. I dont really have a budget. I am looking to just make this as easy as possible (not that it will be easy but...

I appreciate the ramble. Im really new at this so i dont have any plans per say. However idd like to be able to google top 10 saltwater fish and use any of the fish i see. Specifically idd like a couple of clowns, a lionfish, an angel fish to start and then eventually i'm thinking 10-20 fish...

Hello, First of many many questions :). I am entertaining the idea of owning a saltwater tank. We were thinking the 90 gallon tank is perfect for the space we want to fill but the salesmen was trying desperately to sell us the 120 gallon. I think the tank will stick out too much so my...
