    Help critique my system

    I'm not going to get into a argument about who meant what. I really just need some help at this point. I just want people to be respectful at the same time and not assume I'm a complete moron. By doing so, we end up spending a lot of time covering things that we're already all aware of. So...

    I appreciate all the advice and help. I think you're speaking from a viewpoint that's mainly concerned with the health of my SPS corals. I must admit, this was what i was trying to get at so thank you for that. I just recently added some sps. I had upgraded lighting in June, and upgraded...

    I saw someone else did a post like this the other day and I thought it was great. Help critique my system. Feel free to be as blunt and honest as you'd like... I have a 75g reef ready tank with MegaFlow plumbing that goes down to my 30g sump. The sump has three chambers and a bubble trap...

    Tips for successful refugium.

    in regards to cheato, i've heard it said before that you need to keep it trimmed up in order for it not to start dying off or chocking itself and releasing nitrates back into the system. Obviously, you need to trim it back because that's how you export the nitrates, but I don't know what's a...

    Keeping sand clean

    So i just need to upgrade my cleanup crew basically. I've had a lot of die off/things get killed in the last 1.5 years so it's probably time to replenish. I want to get rid of my peppermint shrimp becasue i think they're eating all the micro stars, feather dusters and bristtle worms (not...

    MJ mod spins backwards

    Holy Smokes. I just made some minor adjustments and it started right up in the right direction for the first time ever. It's been running for about an hour now without any problems. The only thing i changed was, i cut back the rigid airline tubing that makes up the impeller about an 1/8 of...

    MJ mod spins backwards

    actually, i'm thinking i could just widdle down the prop i've already got on there a bit to make it smaller/easier to turn. Then i could cut the impeller a little bit to give it some play like you said. I don't have any acrylic rods laying around but i do have some acrylic. Why couldn't I...

    Keeping sand clean

    i've heard if a cucumber dies, it can be quite toxic to the rest of the tank. so what if i just got 1? I should have at least 2' x 2' of open sand area.

    MJ mod spins backwards

    yeah that helps. I didn't understand the stopper until just now. I didn't get an acrylic rod and don't know where to find one. Where can you get them (preferably not online either unless I have to)? I'm thinking the Dumas 3004 might be too much power for my 75g anyways. I think i'll order a...

    MJ mod spins backwards

    Cut your impeller to its final size . for the large shroud with the dumas 3004 that is between 4 1/8” and 4 ¼” depending on how high you put the stopper. The idea is unplugged the prop should be about 1/8” under the stopper and running it should be about ¼” ( you can simulate it...

    Also, the notches on the prop are on the back side (the side closest to the magnet).

    Keeping sand clean

    My Deep Sand Bed doesn't look so clean. I think it's a reflection of not the best water quality. So i'm changing my RO/DI water filters, getting a TDS meter, upgrading skimmer from Remora to ASM G2, enlarging the fuge size/more macro alge and increasing flow. But even with all that, I still...

    MJ mod spins backwards

    I was asked to post pics of the way i built my mj mod so you guys might be able to tell what's wrong with it. Here's what it looks like currently. TIA

    MJ mod spins backwards

    i'm still having problems with my mj mod. Things have gotten worse. The pump worked for about a week without any problems. Then this week, it just reversed itself. I thought maybe it was a fluke...but no. In the last 3 days, it's just getting worse. It will run for an hour and then reverse...
