    Hi, With regards to your statement "Maybe beneficial to use black pvc to keep watever light out" No light will make it thru any Pipe. Also keep the pipe Ø as big as you can for as long as you can for the simple fact that over time calcification buildup will restrict the flow and it's always...

    Diy three ten

    Ya "might" want to keep the Rock work cave further down from the top on the cave so the rocks have less of a chance to grab nutrients from the lighting. Course we all hope are water/filters/refegiums make it so pure it wont matter...Just a thought.

    My suggestion---Your new shopping list : Alkalinity test kits Carbon Spare Water change equipment Save up for a skimmer soon Not to test alkalinity weekly is gambling IMO

    people with out chillers

    Shallow parts of a reef do change a bit daily depending on the currents also the salinity changes after a rain. Deeper parts do not however. I am concerned about how a hotter tank for a long period can have bad bacterial blooms now with bacteria in the ocean there are checks and balances our...

    Vortech and ATO

    You could set the ATO on a timer to only allow water to be added at a certain time and then turn off the vortex just before during and after that short period of time.

    over flow box ?

    They can all fail But I would use one that could get clogged a little and still have enoughp water flow for your return pump to work well and not overflow the top tank so Bigger is better/Safer. Two of them is even better :-) Having a small luft or an even stronger pump like a maxijet in the...

    need fraging help

    Paly's can even be cut away from a rock carefully at the bottom. It's a good idea to ADD CARBON to the sump or filter area as they might release toxins that could harm your other corals. The natural method would be to put it and a small pc of rock or shell or ?? and place them together in a...
