    Design help for a protien skimmer

    You can buy Euroreef modified Sedra pumps (same ones they used to use) and it's ready to rock out of the box ($250-ish). Check out Euroreef website or mod one your own.

    5-gallon bucket skimmer

    You have one of these? Any idea where to get the mesh for the meshmod? I really need it to be an external skimmer because my sump is packed full already.

    Seattle aquarium water

    I think if you were setting up a NW style cold water aquarium, "this water is eyerything that you need..". For tropical marine aquariums, maybe not so much.

    5-gallon bucket skimmer

    Need a skimmer for a 300g system (2 tanks share a sump). I wanted to make an external (no room in sump). I was looking at doing this as cheap as possible. How would you mod a euro to make it better?

    5-gallon bucket skimmer

    I saw a thread where somebody made one of these and I can't find it in RF or RC. Does anybody remember the link? My friend just got a Euro-reef RC-180. It's a beautiful piece of work - very well built, expensive too! The design seems simple enough. I'm going to attempt to make my own...

    Stingray reef

    I'd like to hear more about the "foam" rock. It looks just like the real stuff! Great tank! I guess size really does matter! ~ :)

    I want to open a saltwater specialty store. Any advice?

    I've spent almost a whole Saturday taking a ferry and driving just to go to a fish store that was supposed to be "all that". I've driven over an hour each way to go to another. Good prices, good selection, friendly and knowledgable service goes a long way in this business my friend. Good luck!

    plumbing 2 tanks to 1 sump

    Thanks for your help everyone - looks like decision time for me. As usual, it comes down to how much money I can spend without my wife finding out! Thanks again!

    plumbing 2 tanks to 1 sump

    200 gallon and 100 gallon feeding into a 75 gallon sump. So I could just Y off the pump and go to each tank? That might be a better idea than running two separate pumps. Pros and cons of using one pump instead of two?

    Do I have to drill the skimmer? I feel comfortable working with PVC

    PSAS Frag trading

    Wow, this thread has come to a screeching halt lately! Is there going to be a frag swap at the March meeting?

    plumbing 2 tanks to 1 sump

    yeah, that's what I was thinking. I wanted to keep the water level in my sump about 8-10" (for skimmer to work properly). That's about half full (75g sump). Someone told me that they plumbed the two return pumps to the two tanks and also together (incase one pump went out?). Not sure why? Any...

    Frag Tank

    Plumbing. We used the PVC primer+glue method so I am surprised at the leaks.

    Skimmer opinions for 180g

    I vote for euroreef. Just one look and you understand the quality and simplicity of it's design. Almost everyone you talk to will tell you that it is a top 5 brand skimmer (quality and performance). How does the saying go .. set it and forget it! You get what you pay for!!

    plumbing 2 tanks to 1 sump

    I would like to plumb an additional tank into the same sump I have now. Is this straight forward? or is there a trick to this? Overflows from each tank go to sump, separate pumps return to each tank. Any thoughts?

    Moving a 210g glass tank

    Appliance movers sometimes use 3" wide straps that go over their shoulders and under the tank. With 6 people (depending on how wide an area you have to fit through), it shouldn't be that bad. I used this method when I helped move a huge front window for a remodel and it worked great. Good luck.
