So I keep reading up on skimmers. I really like the Beckett style that I've seen produced with DIY, but I like the theory behind the 'tuned-volute' styles with nice bubble plates. Something like the BubbleKing or ASM models. How would you get the inner core peices to be curved like that...

ZeroEdge Aquariums - A Truly Unique Reef Aquarium Check out a few of the tanks. I'm thinking that they heated the front edges to make the corners, and I'm fine with doing that. The question I have is how the managed to make the top edge appear seamless. Do you think they just hyper-polished...

How do most people cope with the temperature issues for a Seahorse tank? For my reefs I have always just adjusted the house to get near the desired temp and then used heaters to elevate that slightly. If I set the house to 72 and follow this plan for the seahorse tank I am going to have to...

I am debating using a C-t-C overflow in my build and am curious as to the noise associated with such a unit. Anyone have experience they can lend a hand with on here? Seems like it would be louder than normal if I had a C-to-C with some wave action up top. Lemme know, thanks.

So here's a question you don't get everyday. I am planning on building my tank against the main wall in my living room. This wall backs up to my furnace / water heater closet on the other side. The current plan is to keep the DT and refugiums (I am using 2) on the living room side, and the...

Hey all. I am going to be putting up a good sized reef tank soon and then using a couple different refugium styles in the filtration center. I am thinking of having 2 large refugiums visible as displays beneath the DT and would like to have one keep seahorses. My question is how well do...

I umm... hrm. How do I want to do this... Yeah, there is just no good way to say this. I would like to have a list of the equipment that people have had -very negative- experiences with. Something that will give people a heads-up of things that, once purchased, just did NOT go well ever...

Greetings all. I am opening this thread for the discussion of everything LED. I am really interested in the technology and would like to discuss everything from companies that have complete solutions right on down to the DIY stuff. First, I will tell you (some of this is fact, some of it...

And once she said it, the rest was history! Hi. I'm Ben. My newlywed (well, for a year now) wife is Stephanie. And this is going to be a well documented photo-journal for my 'something'-gallon build. I haven't fully settled on dimensions for the display yet. I have 9 feet of...

The tank is going to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 gallons. Very long, huge surface area compared to water volume. Something like 15"tall x 20"deep x 96"long. The tank will house a Reef with SPS (and other) corals + a fair amount of small reef fish. I'm DIY'ing the tank and sump...

Hi guys. So, I am new here and wanting to make a post that doesn't really seem to have a home. I am going to be looking for some in-depth feedback as I continue the 'research' portion of my new build. I am taking around 6 months to aquire and build all the new items for my system and am...

So, I used to be a full-blown aquarium addict and had to quit cold-turkey for the last 8 years because life ramped up too much to be able to juggle my addiction with everything else in my life. Things have slowed and calmed a bit now though and I am jumping back in with both feet. I am newly...
