    sump water level and baffle height

    more detail - and question about evaporation I will be using an 120 gal AGA with the built-in overflows, so I am not sure how much will drain into the sump once the return pump is shut off - a few inches? If the water level in the sump is the height of the tallest overbaffle, then where does...

    Feeding my Elegance coral

    Re: Feeding elegance corals Good luck with your elegance coral - I've killed 2 of them. I have several other hard corals from the Euphylia family that are closely related to the elegance (Cataphylia). These are hammers, frogspawns, and torch corals. I also have a nice galaxy coral. All...
