    120 or 125 what is better for a reef tank?

    Most 120g are 4'x2'x2', this is a great footprint for a reef! If im correct a 125 is 72"x18"x24", But this may be off. You will be really happy with the 120 4x2x2 though!

    SWC 250s Cone Skimmer

    Thanks! I am more so wanting to keep the power bill down than the noise :) I will be insulating the inside of the stand with insulation foam to reduce noise.

    SWC 250s Cone Skimmer

    Will the askoll produce a much better foam then the two sicce's, not sure on the wattage draw of the askoll but the two sicce's are very minor IMO. He said he was upgrading my order but i didnt think he would send the 250s2. Is there such a thing as over skimming? my tank will only be around...

    SWC 250s Cone Skimmer

    Hey i just bought a skimmer that was advertised as a 250s but when i opened the box it had 2 pumps in it instead of the 1 pump I was expecting to see. Is this normal was i upgraded to the SWC 250s2 for free?! This is a pretty big freebee if so, thats why i'm wondering.

    120g sps/lps build

    Looking great Darth! I love the footprint of these 120's, cant wait to see some corals in here. Do your Vortech's more the sand around much?

    Vortech powerheads Noise level

    Cant wait for that. Ordered the other two LED units today as well as 2 mp40's. If these powerheads are about 12-16" off the bottom of the tank, wil my sand blow around, or should i do a BB tank?

    Vortech powerheads Noise level

    I will be sure to post pictures and videos when the tank is all done about all the different functions there are between them. The cool thing about the Radion units is that all the LED's come out with only 4 screws. Ecotech has said they don't plan to change the design from time to time only the...

    Vortech powerheads Noise level

    Thanks everyone! I really just want to get the units so the work with the radion units seamlessly through the wireless feature. You've sold me on them! I did look at the tunze's, i'm not a fan of the whole large powerhead in the tank area for viewing reasons and for the same amount of flow i...

    Vortech powerheads Noise level

    I have heard from certain people that their Mp40's or other Vortech power heads get to be pretty loud? Does anyone on here have experience with these that could elaborate on this or anything about these pumps would be helpful :) Trying to justify spending the 1k for 2 MP40's and battery backup...

    Glass or Acrylic?!

    What would you recommend for a return pump on a 180G tank? I was thinking a mag 9.5 or 12 would do the trick. to much or to little flow? There will also be 2 mp40's in the tank for flow, ive decided to use those with the radion lights instead of a closed loop system... any thoughts on this as...

    LED conversion on a Biocube?

    I picked up a Ecotech Radion unit for over my 29BC. Not sure what model you have? I had the MH over it so it has the glass panel on top, this made it a little easier to pick which unit i wanted to add on to it. I have bought items from Rapid LED as well and they have great customer service that...
