they look like they have a smaller foot print than the RO. which tunze would u recomend for my setup? 65g DT, 29g sump. want to get a skimmer that is rated for larger than my tank, around double so 120g ish.

thanx for the info. i'll look up some tunze skimmers and see what size and price they are.

congrats, well done.

will be fowlr to start but once matured enough and stable enough i want to start a reef. need to pick the skimmer soon so that i know what foot print it has. going to the glass shop on sat. to get glass for the sump build.

i was thinking of the Reef Octopus XS 160 for the sump i want to build. i know nothing about this skimmer. quality's im looking for in a skimmer are....efficiency, durability, and it needs to be silent(or as close to silent as it gets), the tank will be in my living room so if its loud it will...

ok. just did some google..ing? and found some sump lay outs. here is one. u will need to ignore the tank measurements because the tank in the diagram is larger than mine. also as for what goes in each chamber im not sure if thats the way i should do it or not feed back very welcome. i would...

will definitely get some clowns again. just not sure which ones.....leaning towards the black ice but the cost sooo much. keep the pics coming all your clowns look great;)

here are pics of mine

great pics. i'll post pics of the clowns i had when i get home from work.

ive seen the black ice clowns too, they are cool. my wife really wants them for the new tank. but they are like 100$. are they expensive were u are?

also Welcome to RS :hallo:

well first get all your equipment. RO/DI unit, refractometer, salt, lights, heater, power heads, live sand, live rock, possibly a skimmer. if using a sump then get it ready. also need water testing kit. after u have what u need put LR in tank (on the glass or egg crate) then add the sand. have...

the glass dividers in the sump....do they go "under,over,under" or the other way?

so for about 60$ i can add a DI stage to my RO unit :yup: at least i don't have to buy a hole new unit.

just sent a e-mail off to the site i got it from. may hear back about it tonight or in the morning....they usually get back to me pretty quick. should have just got it all at once...live and learn lol.

thanx. i had a feeling about that. i bought the unit before knowing anything about reefing:smack: i'll see if i can get a add on DI for it

HI, how important is the "DI" in RO/DI. i have a Spectrapure 3 stage RO unit (90GPD). Will this work for reefs? or do i need a DI unit as well?

also if u have drilled your DT for drain and return would one of those Glass Holes overflow box kits be ideal. if so how do u choose which one u need? they r all rated for different amounts of low. would u buy one rated as the same as the return pump?
