    I think this will be my new sump/refugium.

    My biggest thing with a DIY system is that the pump alone will cost me 130 and this has a skimmer. I know the skimmer will most likely be near junk but it may not. I have figured a DIY system will cost; 40 - tank 20 - misc seperators and silicone 50 - fuge light 130 - return pump 45 -...

    I think this will be my new sump/refugium.

    So in theory a 15 gallon and this sump are identical?

    I am limited on space underneath my stand. I will do some measuring and some investigating. Anyone know the dimensions of a 10/15 gallon?

    I think this will be my new sump/refugium.

    I was going to use a DIY 10 gallon but this seems like more volume if not the same. Any thoughts?

    Sorry for the lack of details. My tank is a 29 gallon tall. I have posted here so much over the last few weeks that I forget not everyone knows the details of my tank. Lol... Sorry about that.

    What do you guys think about this product? It looks like it is an all in one kit. I found it through this site. http://www.protein-skimmer.com/shopping.asp?id=446996&itemid=6283&ct=1&shopperid=111154&merchantid=446996&shop=itemdetail.asp If anyone has one of these please tell me what you...

    I need help!!! Nitrate problem!

    Well her is an UPDATE: I cleaned the tank very well. I cleaned the rocks of any and all debris and sifted through the sand very well. Today I have 0 nitrates, period. I know that it is soon to test but I did. Here is a question for some of you reefers. I have read that a canister is...

    I sift through the sand and take the rocks out of the tank and dip them in the water to clear debris.

    I need help!!! Nitrate problem!

    That is what confuses me so much. I do weekly water changes and so on so forth and never get nastiness like what you have. It is clean fairly clear water. I have a deep sand bed with almost 35-40 pounds of live sand. I am going to go buy a 10-15 gallon tank next week and make a sump if I...

    I need help!!! Nitrate problem!

    I feed a cube of Marine cuisine every week to every other. I do not let the fish eat longer than about 2 - 3 minutes. They are fat and happy so I have always assumed that was perfect. How big of a sump should I be looking at, 15 gal?

    I need help!!! Nitrate problem!

    I just wanted to test it for myself before I got to confused on what is going on. It turned yellow on my own kit but at the LFS it was an orange/red. Any ideas? Could their test kit be good/ bad and mine vise versa? I am confused.
