The baffles might help contain the detrits from going farther into the sump. The only thing I don't like about the idea of having LR in the sump is normally you'll get particals of in the sump that don't belong there. Once it's in the sump it can end up in your pumps and acted like sand...

you could do something like this http://www.fragexchange.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=3190&highlight=baffles I think it would be the easiest way to do baffles in a rubbermaid sump. IMO

I've seen both. But the LFS by me buts up a 12gal nano fully stocked within a weak and sells it for $500. Everything looks great but I know better to buy it. They do this about once a month. People keep buying them but who knows if anything makes it past a month. I would feel better...

I would like to make some ARAGOCRETE. I was woundering if anyone has done this and if there is any tricks to it. Also if anyone has the plans/ingredents to make it. Pics would be great to if you have some. I would like to make a few rocks for base rock and a few pc that are attached to...

LOL did the same thing with my fist tank. Still kicking myself in the head. I'm glad that your taking your time and looking at everything with open eyes. I hope I have your patience when I set up my 120 too.

I figure I'm going to play it safe this year and pay the bills befor getting anymore toys. But I'll make it up nexted month and get something for myself.

my current stand is 42" high with a 18" tall tank on top. So it's hard to do anything without a stool since I'm only 5'8". The rubbermaid is at least 25" tall and my skimmer sits around 30". Plus I wanted to have some room to work in the sump. But I can't have it all if I want the stand...

I would call your water comp. and see what there treating the water with and see some of the chem levels like phoshate. If you really want to get into it you can order a costume unit so you don't get anything that you don't want. Same you some money from buying filters over and over again that...

I have made a few stands for my 50gal and for my 20gal but nothing for a larger tank like a 180gal. I was woundering if anyone could give me some tips as fair as making the frame and how to go about making it. I would like to use my 150gal rubbermaid sump under the tank and have the back side...

I'm setting up my 150gal rubbermaid for the 3rd time now and I use a homemaid plastic drawers. I can put carbon in the a drawer and but filter pads in the rest of the drawers. I placed eggcrate under the filter pads so the drawers don't get filled up with water. Once my filter box is in the...

I've notice a big differents on how my corals look and grows when I do a 5gal water change in my 50gal once a week. The polyps tend to come out more and the growth is really noticable. I'm not very good about doing water changes every week because of not having a ro unit at my place. But...

This is one of my favorite tank shots from my tank. I recently fraged it. I kinda wish I wouldn't have. So this is what I have to remember it by. LOL

Hey witful good to see your still alive and setting up a new tank! I also like your tank so far. I have been a big fan of seeing tanks being set up step by step on forums. It's almost like a big tease when your trying to set up a new tank yourself.

what size tank do you have? what about skimmer? How long as the tank been set up? What do you have for clean up crew? What is in the tank? You might want to get some more current going on the surface. Get some more gas exchange going. Could be overfeeding but it's hard to say, Cut...

once you start getting it will never stop, knock on wood. But anyways it won't be long and you'll be saying how do I get it off stuff. Just be let it do it's own thing.
