Ice Dragon's 75 gallon tank - Page 3

IceDragon · 06-13-2004, 12:25 AM

i move my rocks down to the glass as every one is suggesting

as for base rock i intend to get some reefbones from Premium aqautics (about 40LBS worth) and then cure it along with thier uncured show tonga i figure this way i can save cash and still get the looks i want and the biodiverity i need

hey jay good to see you here

btw just as an update i have plumbed the autotop off system ... so 2 floatswitches and it will be done

also tried to run my SWCD of my GenX GX2400 pump and it just cant handel running inline like the box says (oh well at least i found a guy at the LFS that is going to buy it for 85% of what i payed), so i tried using my mag 7 return and it worked like a charm ... so i think whem finances permit i will need to order a mag 5 to run my SWCD ... that will give me about 1000 total GPH of current in the main tank

let me know what you all think

every so often pull the squid off and flush it out,,,they can get build up inside of them.

yeah i thought about that so i cut a custome foam prefilter from a hagen auqaclear mini refill ... i checked the flow rate with and with out on the mag 7 and the circulation loss seemed negligable.

please let me know if this is a good idea or not

hmmm .... well i installed my euroreef 3 days ago and i have plenty of bubbles but not a drop of skimmate ... i have check the config 10 times and the waterlevel is exactly up to top of the bodys neck (as per owners manual) could this be just because there is only base rock in my tank and if so what can i do to give my skimmer something to skim so i can test it?
