    water flow

    It is taking longer to set this tank up, I have decided to build a stand and started that last night, so hopefully in a couple weeks I will have the tank running and I'll let you know how the pumps work.

    Stand design

    Before we start please forgive the drawing, I'm no artist. This is a design I have to build a stand, the tank is a 75 gal Acrylic (48"x15"x24"). I would like both sides to be mostly open with a door, and the front 2 doors. I wanna know if you all think using 2x2's and 1/2 plywood on the sides...

    Cycling question

    I have another question. Should I use some of the water from the 55 in the 75 when I set it up?

    Cycling question

    Yea I was going to rinse everything good before I put them in the tank, and I will watch the reading. The 75 gal is going where the 55 is now so I was thinking of putting a couple pieces of live rock and the 3 fish (engineer golby and 2 clowns) I have now in a 10 gal tank till the 75 is ready...

    Cycling question

    I'm almost ready to setup my new 75 gal tank. I'm putting in about 30 pounds of dry rock, to my knowledge it has never been live rock. I'm also putting in about 70 lbs of used dry sand (I bought it used and cleaned and dried it). At the same time I will be putting in about 60 lbs of live rock...

    I just looked up the seaswirl and it is a interesting device. I don't really need to get that fancy and for the price I could spend the money for other things.

    More Sump questions

    Tank is 75 gal. I just measured and if I use tubing from the bottom of the sump to the top of the tank it is 4 1/2 feet. Do you use a spray bar on the return or does it just dump in from the return tube?

    More Sump questions

    I don't have any expirence working with acrylic, but I have have tools to cut the top off, and I was thinking of doing that as the water level will only be about 1/2 I don't think cutting the top off will hurt the support. Any idea on the GPH eheim pump I should use? Thanks

    More Sump questions

    Nice setup. I don't have as much room as you do, so instead of cutting the sump up and making things work, I'm going with a return pump inside the sump (will be kinda hard to do maintenance on it, but can be done) and I was thinking of using the Eshopps PSK-100H hang on skimmer (again will be...

    I was thinking of getting a good hang on skimmer for the first section and use the second section for a refuge.

    75 gal tank. It just fits inside the stand with only a couple of inches to spare. It will be hard doing maintenance on stuff, but it can be done.

The way it looks to me the water level is going to stay the...
