I was needing some input. I'm looking to make my own refuguim out of acrylic and I was wondering the measurements on some of the HOB fuges and how thick the acrylic is on them. I'm trying to figure out how thick I need and if I can go a little lighter then what they recommend to make acrylic...

Well the underground filter would just let the water be disbursed under the live rock rubble better. I guess get less flow ever all the rubble instead of having it just coming up in a small section. I'm not really worried about flow since I'm only needing about 200-300 GPH and even then its...

Hi I'm Billy. I'm just getting started. I just filled up my AP24. I changed out the stock pump with a MJ900 and added 3 Mini-Jet 606 on a Natural wave timer. Trying to get some live rock without breaking my budget.
