What do you guys think of doing a water changes Transfusion Style?
- Install a High-level float switch in the sump that is set for the correct water level of the sump.
- Connect the switch to a Power Head in the sump (located at the front of the sump) that drains into a sink or floor drain.

Have been reading some posts on ATO holding tanks and the possibility of PO4 being released in the holding tank due to uncleaned conatiners/bins.
Assuming one has a GFO+carbon reactor - has anyone thought of running ATO line to an functioning GFO/Carbon reactor chain?
I was thinking of placing...
A pic of my 4G desk Pico.
I have a small power head creating circulation and surface agitation, but I'm wondering if I need an air stone for added gas exchange...
I have an air stone in there already... I'm just wondering if I can do without
What do you guys think...
They say to drip kalk water... but if it's connected to an auto top-off... wont it dump a lot of kalk water at once?
ie. if an auto topoff dumps 1-1.5 liters of water before it turns off. is it safe to dose 1-1.5 liters of kalk water at once?
Also, you know how kalk reactors have the pump...
So, I have been holding off on update pics of my tank and LR rack because i neglected my tank over the summer... not alot, but enough (i know... bad...).
Anyhow, part of my neglect was not replacing my old skimmer that wasn't performing. Now that summer's over and my projects moved...
Hi All,
I'm in the process of finishing the wall of my in-wall tank.
Just looking for finishing ideas. (ie. solid wall vs. cabinet doors , framing of tank etc.)
So show me what you got!
So I want to start using ozone. My question is where do I introduce it. I have a recirculating skimmer. Should I introduce the ozone via one of the recirc pumps? Or should I introduce it at the supply pump located in the sump...
How do you convert mg/l to DKH.
My test kit (hagen) says:
Multiply Mg/l (ppm) X .056 = DH
So with that calc:
140 mg/l x .056 = 7.84 DKH?
Is that correct?
Assume a 175w 10k bulb that is 8" from the surface
How far from the surface should an acro be from the surface ?
Is there a possiblity of being too close?
I wanted to do something different in the way of aquascaping with my new 120g. I really want a rock shelf that extends out into the tank (not an arch) so here's my plan.
Below is a pvc LR rack (not yet complete). I need a few more T's to join the upper portion and I'm going to extend the...
do i have enough support?
The load will be carried by the 6 verticals.
I know alot of people add additional 2x4s to support the horizontal perimeter... but since it is a perimeter, alot of force and leverage would be needed to pry the horizontals from the vertical legs...

Do clowns (false percs) exhibit any particular type of behavior before laying eggs?
I know about the 'shuddering' when a couple are determining who's dominant.
But I was wondering whether or not they start to act funny before egg laying.
So I'm building my new system...
I built a new stand and made it a bit higher for viewing pleasure.
My current return pump will not be sufficient enough to create enough current/water movement in the tank due to the larger tank coupled with the higher stand
Having said that, I was...
I came across a 70g tank that has a small crack on the bottom pane. Other than that all sides are ok.
Any recommendations on how to take a tank apart so I can just replace the bottom pane?
Is there any product that wil disolve the silicone? Or do i have to try and squeeze a razor between...
Hi all - going on a trip to orlando for business. Any shops i should try and visit?
Also - how much do reef bones usually cost down there. here where i'm at it costs about $70-80 CDN per 40lb box (mainly due to shipping costs).
I was thinking of bringing some home with me and saving on...
