if I were to build one where do I get the parts?

i was wondering if anybody could tell me of some good affordable led lights for a 40 gallon breeder capable of sustaining some sps corals.

I want to upgrade the pump to the rio 800 from the rio 600 for better skimming, my question is does anyone know if the rio 800 is compatible with the CPR Bakpak 2.

hmm well for the specific sixes you want you might just have to go to a glass company.

possibly depends where you live really.

hmmm how high in the tank is your anemone sounds like your tanks around 60+ gallons you might need more lighting bubble tips require intense lighting. any pics to show how he's coming along would be nice.

what size is your tank and what kind of lighting is in there? also have you checked your water levels? I know anemones can be very picky/ sensitive to rapid water changes.

in thst case your best bet is to look up a glass repair shop I've never had to go to far because my dad owns a glass company so he can order custom sizes of glass to your size and thickness they can also do that for you.

just got a new return pump with a 450 gallon hourly rate so I'm assuming I'm somewhere in that are PVC is all one inch and Ty for the complements dude:)

hopefully you catch on super quick! alo so welcome to the saltwater hobby!:)

you will have to get a return pump the have a pretty cheap one at petco that does 450 gallons per hour for like 60 bucks brand is aqueon.

thank you for refortifying my answer gti :)

turn everything off including powerheads the sand will settle in no more than 1 day.

not a bad idea cheato has alot of beneficial cope pods, also a ten gallon breeder is a good size and you could also use those shrimp as live food for fish such as lionfish etc.

that is a sump, where you see the white crating you could put those bio balls i personally preffer using refugium rubble did it come with the over flowbox? if not you might have to buy one, the over flow will connect to the sump which will mostlikely be located underneath your tank. here is a...

its going to be like that because its your first time using it, also is the tank relatively new if so i would assume there isnt much livestock thus being the cause of a more watery liquid because there isnt as much for the skimmer to filter keep moving the settings around slowly and you will get...

heres a sump that i made the only thing i have recently changed from what the video shows is i moved the chaeto to the final stage of the sump where the return pump is to get some more copepods in there and put the skimmer in the middle also added a heater to the middle now its doing pretty...

home depot carries acrylic but alot of them dont recognize it by the name acrylic go to home depot and ask them where there plexi glass is theyll point you in the right direction.

good choice pal those will do just fine:D

you could do either or i always like to get a couple snails and hermits to help feed on the diatom bloom.

swithched the skimmer to the middle where the uv sterilizer is along with the heater and put two more chaetos in but moved all the chaeto to the final stage next to the return pump to get some more natural copepods in the water tha thanks for the advice and complements guys.

that's good that means that your tanks at the last stages of completion towards being cycled don't scrub it off it's natural, also what size tank and do you have a cleanup crew in there?

paul weck is right if you plan on having fish such as mandarins which copepods are essential then dont put your skimmer in the final part of your sump.

nice starters bro post up a couple more pics in the future so we can see how theyre coming along:)

metal halide lights are great although the new thing is led ive always preffered the oldschool lighting but all of them would work fine although if your planning on loading it w plants id try to do more than 2 t5s there are plenty of 24" fixtures on ebay with 4 t5 HO lights that would also do...
