    Live sand filter

    K first of all, Puffers are out of the picture for me =) cute yes, my tank no. Im just wondering why you are saying lion fish are not reef safe?

    Live sand filter

    Actualy, from what i under stand on, this is that the plenum is actualy supposed to help prevent the bubles simply because that the area that is anoxic or really close to it, is in a thinner area then that of a deep sand bed.

    DIY stand

    Umm well if you frame it outa 2x4 realisticly you could prabably go even less on the sides and front, and as for the top (part the tank sits on) if you put several 2x4 braces fron to back i dont se a reason why you couldnt go with a single 3/4. Im not an expert but have some experience in...

    I will have to look into that ye I mean to extend run time that way just add another battery in parallel. Stupid question but most of the inverters work both ways charge and invert? I guess that’s more based on the inverter hu? The only reason I ask that is that I know they sell the cheap...
