I've been checking out small tanks that LFS have set up and none of them have skimmers, just a HOB filter (with filter floss, carbon and LR rubble). I asked how long they've been set up, one store said 6mos and the other said over a year. Both had 2 small clown fish and said they just do small...

Hello all. It's been well over 2yrs since I've dealt with anything saltwater. I stripped down the 135g and turned it into FW because I didn't have the time for it since starting our dog rescue. Well things have settled down and while getting dog food today at the pet store I caught the SW bug...

as most of you know the SCWD on CL has stopped switching and this is because i havent had a prefilter on it. the problem is the intakes of the CL is hidden under the rock pile, so it's hard to gain access to. so i'm trying to come up with a way to prefilter the water before it gets to the...

i'm planning on making a skimmer box approx. 12"Wx7"D, i would like to make it out of one piece and bend at the corner but i have no idea how to do this. i may have to cut it into 2 pieces & glue them together at the turn. any advice on this?

after doing a couple searches, i couldnt find the thread i was looking for so i'll start it. since i already have about 60# or so of BR, i'm looking for online sites to get some nice LR. i'm also looking to find out what would be the process after receiving the LR, like number of weeks of...

i want to have my R/O unit go to a resevior tub for an ATO & go to a seperate tub for SW mixing. i'm not absolutely sure how to plumb this set up. i'm thinking of T-ing off the r/o line to both reseviors. the ATO tub will have some type of auto-shutoff for the r/o right? it will also...

I have a 135g tank that i will be drilling 2 holes for the closed loop returns. The tank will have dual corner overflow (with a skimmer bridge connecting them for more surface skimming). Whats the best location to place for them? The pump is a Sequence Snapper, 2400gph with 2" inlet/1.5"...

I have about 100# of LR(was) from my 90g that I stored in 2 large rubbermaid tubs. Everything has died off & the rock is completely white. Should i just wait until the tank is ready & throw it on the bottom and stack LR on top OR rinse the rock off, put LR in the tub with skimmer, heater &...

while browsing through threads i came across this cheap wavermaker and wondered if that was wired to a irrigation valve would it work on a CLS? You would need a timer & a valve for each direction (setting the may be a PITA) & irrigation valves are low voltage so thats an issue but thought i...

This may have been discussed before but i couldn't find a direct answer in my search. While thinking about bulkhead sizes, i started to think if a my sump consists of a LR, a skimmer(200-500gph) & maybe a UV(100-400gph). why are we aiming for 800+gph in the overflow section if half of the...

Re: My slow 135g build once again i have removed the tank from the hole to remeasure the overflow holes. i'm trying to make sure that it's possible to have a hole made bigger? I have enough room in the overflow section to have the holes widen to 2 3/8". which would give me 1 1/2" bulkheads &...

K-do is 1 yrs old, as with my other pets he is a rescue, on his way to being put to sleep simply because he has grown out of that cute little puppy stage. We have had him for 3 days and he is already starting to fit in perfectly, other than trying to mount my female Rotty mix (he will be fixed...

After putting this aquarium into the wall i recently finished, the tank sits 3-4" inside of too far. the problem is if i slide the tank flush with the wall, the back corners are not being supported by the back legs of the stand(corners sit 3" in front of legs). with my fuge and sump under the...

I was going fishing, so i stopped by a bait shop on the way. As I was getting ready to checkout i noticed a 55g tank. After paying I walked over to the tank, there was a 6" round stingray in the tank. No shelter/hiding places, no sand(1/4-1/2 pebble rock) a barely working Seaclone and HOB...

Since the front of my stand has to be cut to get my sump into, i would like to have the baffles inside of the sump before putting it into the stand. So far the only way i have seen seen how to figure baffle height & sump water line is by filling tank, cutting the power and marking the water...

Ok, everyone here's a little history on me & SW. I started out with a 10g sw with a couple of pieces of LR, a Emperor filter, stock hood, a clown fish, & I think a serpent starfish? I upgraded from there to a 55g with a PC lighting, a cheap skimmer,a wet/dry & beginner coral. Next I moved all...
