    Reef Octopus xp 1000 sss

    So, my skimmer (junk berlin 250) has been trying to die for a couple of weeks and finally succeeded - about a week ago. Last night my reef octopus xp1000sss arrived. I was sooo excited to get a WORKING skimmer...and a nice one at that. Anyway, my water level in my skimmer was at 14" and I...

    SeaSwirl or SCWD?

    I have a seaswirl on my 100gallon, it came with the tank and I'd never even heard of them before. However, my reef loves the changing flow. I'm considering getting another for the other side return - but again, definitely drill the siphon break.

    sump help / question

    The bubbles are not caused by the return pump, but they ARE pumped into your display by the return. They are caused by the protein skimmer and the overflow turbulence. Using a 2-chamber design should work fine, as long as you use baffles (bubble trap) like krish's picture shows. Then you can use...

    sump help / question

    If you don't have baffles between your first chamber (overflow and skimmer) and your return - you will almost certainly have bubbles returned to the tank. You can add a couple of baffles (bubble trap) between sections 1 and 2, or I just use a 5 gallon jug hidden behind a stand beside my tank for...

    The Class Act Aquarium Stand

    Sorry to hear about the house trouble spllbnd2. Wow, and COLD weather for wet work. I recently had a satellite company install a new outlet for me and drill a 5/8" hole through my 2"abs washer drain pipe. Then he covered it up and left. 4 days later (and several loads of laundry later) I found a...

    Snowwwwwwwwwwwwww

    Sounds like fun! LOL A couple of years ago when we had 8-10" here in the Ft. Lewis area, I drove my 06 mustang GT to work and back daily. 300+ HP and RWD = fun!

    Can't wait to meet some of you all this weekend. My wife and I have been running this tank about 5 months now (purchased established) and loving it. I learn soooo much every time I go to BRA or any of the LFS, and even more online in these forums. You guys are great help. Can't wait to check out...

    I do not plan to bring any corals (don't have enough to share yet...lol...newish tank) but my wife and I are planning to attend. Is there anything that you all need help with for setup/transportation??

    Frag swap

    sorry for the newbie question...but I'm going to ask anyway. I've never been to one of these. My wife and I are new to reef aquariums (about 6months) and are looking to expand ours. Is this a "swap only" or can I purchase corals there as well. I'd be happy to share...but I don't really have much...
