    which skimmer

    Did ATI make a new model or are you guys talking about a different bubble master. I have the BM200 btw.

    which skimmer

    This is what I went with and I am exteremly happy with it: http://www.atiaquaristik.com/index.php?id=95,0,0,1,0,0 It's on the higher end of the cost spectrum but, if you can afford it you will be amazed at how much work it saves you and how much less you will spend replacing other skimmers...

    Calcium Reactor pH

    Thanks! I have it at 6.5 now but, is there ever a need to lower the PH under 6.5? Typically my calcium stays around 385ppm but, I would like for it to be higher around 420ppm. Is this a matter of changing media or adjusting my reactor. I'm just confused I guess because some ppl say their...

    Calcium Reactor pH

    Can I ask the same question on the ideal internal PH of a reactor using Korrallin media (big pellets)? Sorry about using your thread.

    You're welcome! They sell it at my local OSH it's called Touch'nFoam, exterior filler-adhesive--says on the can it is fish and plant safe plus they have it in black for $2 per can less than F&S & no shipping. Someone else on another thread said that home depot sells some stuff called "Great...

    Lol, now I'm confused :p! The Handifoam is the stuff I used for the background of my tank (inside) and I got that stuff from Dr. Fosters & Smith online. However, I found out my local hardware store carried the same stuff (just different brand) for less. This is the Handifoam...

    Thanks for the compliment :). I used Handifoam to sculpt the background. You can kind of see what I did with it on page 1 :), I am really glad I did it because it adds that extra realistic look to it vs. looking at a smooth plastic background. As you can see there is not much difference...

    New Cube 36x36x18

    Here you go, here is the best shots I could get of what I did with the noise barrier: Left side- Right Side- Remember i did this when the tank was already set-up and working against a corner with this very heavy material wasn't easy. I just screwed the material directly onto the tank...

    Here is a link to the material I used, I'll post a picture of my set-up later tonight when my wife brings the digital camera back from taking Halloween pictures :). http://www.soundprooffoam.com/quiet-barrier.html

    I'll get you a link to the material when I get home from work... However, like I mentioned on my last post what I did to my set-up was after the tank was running and I wouldn't recommend doing it. In other words, you will have to design your own casing because I looked around and there wasn't...

    So glad you asked about the noise! The wife almost threw my tank out, that's how bad the noise was :P. My tank is in my living room and it's were we usually watch TV. I had to buy noise reduction material, forget what it's called it's been a while but, it's about 1/2 thick and it looks like...

    If your going SPS tank then the genaral consensus is the more flow the better... I have no experience with the models you mentioned so I would hate to stear you in the wrong direction. Like I said earlier, in my opinion if you can set-up your closed loop to control the flow (increase/decrease)...

    New Cube 36x36x18

    I'm using a Sequence 1000 that puts out 5000gpH... All I can say is that I've had to tune the flow down a few notches using the valves I installed on each of the closed loop lines due to the flow being so strong it actually irritated any sps in its flow path (on the opposite side of the tank)...

    I agree, I have relocated my lights about 3 times since I set it up--I even tried using 1 Luminarc III. I finally found a set-up I liked with 2 pendants, I'll post pictures later on this week.

    This is were I purchased my tank, the process was slow due to a language barrier on their side but, you can't beat the price! $810 for my tank using 3/4" acrylic all the way! http://www.worldmarinesystems.com/index.html

    These responses are way late, I appologize... I love the effect, the only thing I would do differently is perhaps go with a smaller main pump--the power on my current pump is vicious :)!
