    The design is good. One of my overflow boxes is not completely sealed against the edge of the tank. I don't feel like ripping things apart to fix it...as it works fine. However, there is quite a bit of noise from that external standpipe. If I allow any air into it, it is quiet, but the level...

    Sorry about the bad pic of the Goby...I had to zoom in from a distance, otherwise he would have disappeared!

    Hi all...sorry it has been awhile since I have posted. I was in California for my daughter's graduation...Go Fowler class of 2007! Since I have been back, things have gotten really fun!!! I finally added livestock to my tank, after 70 days of set up. The first were: 1) True Percula Clown 1)...

    55 gallon-drilling

    My sump is 22 gallons. The return area is about 10 gallons and the skimmer about 8 gallons. The rest is a small fuge. I have two 1" bulkheads in the upper back corners of the tank with 1" durso (external) drains. One drains to the skimmer section and one to the fuge. I have a mag 7 that...

    skimmer going coo coo :p

    Sponge...you can add an elbow on the overflow pipe of the skimmer and then a gate or ball valve to adjust the flow, or your overflow should be in two pieces...the external tube that moves up and down (wet vs dry skim). When I change my collection cup, I take that part off and the bubbles drop...

    As for the "sponges"....I clean them every two days! The one on the return is a must as the line is 2 inches out of the water. For some reason, that durso has the toilet bowl effect. That was the only solution (of many tried) that worked. I will eventually move to spa-flex to cut out the...

    Wow, have I lagged on this forum. I now have my tank up and running. It been nearly 30 days. I purchased 4 snails the other day, and they have cleaned my tank to the hilt! All the params are intact and I am waiting for a few more supplies...ie lights and a refractometer. Here are a few...

    Hydor Koralia

    I have two K 1's. The are pretty small, about 1/2 the size of a pop can. The are very quite and easy to use as well. I have one on each end of the tank, mounted to the side, and have plenty of flow. If pointed down, they will definitely stir things up! So far, I love them, especially their...

    Good fish sites???

    Hi all. I have spent way to much time on the net lately, and was wondering if anyone could help out. I am planning my future inhabitants for my 55 gallon reef. If anyone has any good links to some fish info sites I would appreciate it. Thanks, Kris:)

    Getting out of the hobby

    What do you still have? I would be interested in LR, R/O, lighting test kits. Again I will be in Seattle in May, 15, 16 and 17. PM me with pics/prices. I would take the fish, but I won't be livestock in until after my trip to Fresno in June. Kris

    Love the tank build. If only my hubby would let me...oh wait, I am the boss! Anyway, do you use photobucket for you pictures? You upload there and then click on the IMG box. It will highlight your link and hit CTR C to copy. Then CTR V to paste into your post. We would be able to see the...

    Reef 35 years old this month

    Wow Reverse UG. I guess my FW tank will be ok with that method. It's been going like that for years. On that topic, who came up with the SUMP? Kris
