hello, im setting up a marineland corner flow 125 gallon aquarium and petco 40 breeder sump (aquion). bought the sump today and need to order baffles. i need to know how many gallons of water i can expect to flow to sump when the return pump is off. i will not be using check valves, so both...

hello, i am wanting to put two of these on my 90 gallon freshwater, one for mechanical (522) and one for bio filtration (506). i want to run marinepure, either the 1.5" spheres or the 2" blocks. still not sure which would be better for my application. i have not yet purchased the filters or...

im on my second clutch of banggai cardinal fry. the first clutch ,from a different set of parents, was sold to my lfs. i like this because its local, tank raised fish. im also very partial to this particular breed of cardinal and flirting with the thought of keeping them this time...

re working my sump to add mechanical filtration. need to know what size to drill the holes for a 4" filter sock. also need to know how much above the water line the sock needs to be. pictures would also help. thanks

i really like the look/color of the phoenix 14k metal halide bulb. i have a t5 ho fixture and was wondering if i could get some sort of bulb combination to create the same color spectrum. while one option is to buy a metal halide fixture and bulbs, I'm not opposed to that, i don't know if i...

hello everyone. currently have biopellets but have not seen any positive results. so im thinking about redoing my sump and allowing almost 1/3-1/2 of it for the dsb and fuge section. i dont know if deep sand beds are still a viable means of filtration and nitrate reduction. thanks guys and...

just collecting info. the lfs has an amazing looking volitan in right now. i was thinking he would be cool to have in my 90g. im concerned about his adult size though. i definitely wouldnt want him to be the only fish in the tank. i would like to keep the volitan and harlequin tusk a...

i know reef dynamics is synonymous to eruo reef. ive read they make great skimmers. ive read people write about their "out dated" designs and bubble blaster pump this, "horrible pump" that. "i love my ___ skimmer" the mojo posts are bookmarked too. ive seen the vids on youtube why they...

ive been running biopellets for nearly the full 8 weeks brs suggest to leave it alone but still having algae problems. when i was just running the gfo my tank cleared up. can i run the two in tandem? separate reactors with their own pumps. thanks.

first off its been awhile since i was last on this site. so hello to all the old people i used to talk to. this tank used to be one of our saltwater tanks that has again been re-purposed. had it running with water for a short bit and came home to a leak. im assuming it was around the bottom...

ive been fighting this stuff for a while now. i thought it was red slime but after using chimiclean i can see that its not. i have implemented a phosban reactor and will most likely switch to biopellets once i run out of gfo. ive also put a filter sock on my sump supply line. ive done the...

what is everyone using to heat their salt mixes up? tap water here is 60-65*f. i dont want to run hot water through my ro/di filter. seems like it takes forever for my fluval m 300w to get it up to temp. that and its glass (worried about it breaking) and its not fully submersible.

Sea Goblin i found this fish through liveaquaria. and think i might want one for my tank once i get to seriously stocking. are their any fish that i cannot have with this odd little guy? sense it is "seasonal" i have time to research and read what you all say in an attempt to educate...

hey, i have a 125 gallon 72" x 18" oceanic aquarium manufactured in 2002. my problem is trying to find glass lids for it. there is no brace in the frame, instead it has a glass panel that has been siliconed to the tank itself for bracing. im having a hard time trying to find replacement...

does anyone have an opinion on the subject?

ive got 2 40 gallon breeder saltwater tanks. one has a dsb and sump, and one with a shallow sand bed. oh and when i say "sweetie pie" im making reference to tracie6283. we live together and one tank is "hers" and one is "mine" and because we live together and i may have my hands in the tank...
