    Quick question about stocking a tank.

    Hi, I just recently upgraded my 75g to a 125g tank with about a 45gallon sump underneath. I'm sort of curious as to what people my stocking options and possibly recommend a few options as I obviously don't want to overload the tank. In the tank as it is we currently have: 1 Foxface Rabbitfish -...

    Sump Baffles

    600gph per side, so in reality with the two sides you will be pushing 1200. I think this is underrated even though.

    Overflow Kits

    Also, I'm not sure how a homemade version of the pipes go, but these ones are pretty easily adjustable. Here is the standpipe I got in my kits: And here it is taken apart. It is not straight PVC piping as is evident by the o-rings which allow it to go up and down and adjust the level inside...

    Overflow Kits

    I have the same tank and I actually bought the two kits for it like a dumbass. The only redeeming thing is that it does come with the return parts also which include the locline Y tubes. Which while it is probably still cheaper to build them yourselves it reduces the cost/ratio a bit. Plus...

    Tank drilling question

    I have an All-Glass 125 Megaflow system. It isn't modified at all and I run a Mag24 as a return pump on it. Other than the heat generated with about 4 inches of a sponge on the bottom noise isn't a problem and the heat issue is being worked out with some fans I need to install in the stand. I'm...

    Electrical requirements for 150gal reef tank

    Hmm, well I can tell you that I have a 125 system that routinely trips the breakers on a 15 amp circuit breaker with about 1200 watts of MH. So needless to say, we don't run all the lights anymore and changed it to a FOWLR tank.

    New born brine shrimp

    Our tank - 5 Months (big images?)

    Yah, the torch and an anemone had a close encounter and suprisingly, it looked like the torch was winning when we found them. But we moved them both far away and everything is doing great now. The torch probably has about 3" of growth in the past 2 months or so of it's skeleton and is growly...

    Our tank - 5 Months (big images?)

    Yep, it is as a matter of fact from Josh. The torch coral has since been fragged a couple times since it has gotten so large and the candycane is doing well too. The Kenyan tree was doing great until about a week ago when seemingly overnite it shriveled. We haven't been able to figure that one...

    How thick??

    My 125 is 3/8" thickness.

    Problem with flow, possible pump or plumbing?

    This is what I get from trying to make it look nice and neat. I end up impeding the flow. Oh well, I'll just go out and get 4 lengths of hosing and route em through the wall and see if that helps. Hopefully with that and a 1800 gph pump I should be set for a while.

    Problem with flow, possible pump or plumbing?

    I stuck with the 3/4 because the pump was plumbed for 3/4 and also the intake on the bottom of the pump for the return is a 3/4 fixture. I figured it would impeded it just as much to reduce it at either of the poitns.

    Problem with flow, possible pump or plumbing?

    I switched the pump out from the iwaki to a mag 12 and its better than it was before. Nothing to write home about but at least it isn't stagnant anymore. Speaking of which it wouldn't have been possible at all without soem support from the Indoor Reef (Thanks guys!) who are letting me borrow the...

    Problem with flow, possible pump or plumbing?

    Hi, we just finished installing a new tank yesterday (which was the worst day I've ever had with fishkeeping, but thats another story. ) The problem I'm having is that there is almost no return flow at all. The setup is as follows: 125 AGA Aquarium "Megaflow" tank with the two corner internal...

    Our tank - 5 Months (big images?)

    Appreciate the comments everyone. Here is a quick pic of our SallyLightfoot. He is probably about 4-5 inches across and the largest one we've seen. Anyone know if we should expect any problems from him?

    Our tank - 5 Months (big images?)

    Our setup is as follows and we really like it so far: 80g (maybe 75, who knows) glass tank 20g IAP sump Corallife 65 skimmer - Its rated small but it seems to do great and we've never had any problem with anything yet. Trying to keep the bioload somewhat small. Oydessa main fixture - 260w...

    Our tank - 5 Months (big images?)

    Ok, hopefully this works well. Here are some pictures of our tank and hopefully they resized right :) *edit* Ok, managed to resize the pictures down to a much more manageable and viewable size :)

    Let's See Some Macros

    We got a Canon S2 IS. I like it quite a bit but need to work on how to use it and I want to get another lense for it but I'm so clueless as to what is even out there and what will work well.
