    Ideas on how to plumb a remote refugium

    Youd have to have the refug feed on gravity. It's not worth taking the chance and feeding both ways with pumps in case one of them fails..

    Eheim 1260

    It's fine to remove the filter block. They are more for people running fresh planted tanks. Try a mouse pad or other for the vibration and you should be good to go.

    Need some guidance for 55 gallon tank.

    Yes, get rid of the bio balls and that hood is too small for halide. The sump is debatable. I would to T5's for the lights and vertex makes a great skimmer for the price. Let me know when you're ready for some parts and I'll make you some good deals.

    Impulse Elos 120XL - Custom Stand

    Glad to help out with the tank. Maybe ask around and see if someone has some used/fried 250 de hqi's that they have laying around that they'd be willing to give you so you can check that you're lights are in good order?

    Elos 160XL set up

    Steel stand Ya the mitered corners allow for a much cleaner look when finished and as the stand needs to be completely closed and sealed from moisture this was just the way to go. Glad you like it. It's a bit more work but saves on other time when having to seal open ends with caps.

    I'll have the pump specs to you soon and the stand is fine upside down for sure. That's just the way it ended up in the truck. I hope to have it back by the first of the week and then we'll get it over to your place and do the decking and get that really nice tank of yours off the ground...

    660 ice cap

    Yes, as long as you still have enough wire to do so. The configuration can always be changed, or you can replace the bad caps..

    Grounding the fish tank?

    I always run probes in the tank and as far as the lights, the ground from the wall plug and on the ballast should be fine and I wouldnt worry about the reflector itself. The tank probe is to catch the extra voltage that gets kicked out from the lamps themselves when they're on...

    Urchins - Who has them?

    I have never had an urchin scratch a tank and the big coraline damages normally come from the long spines. I'm sure you'd be fine with the Tuxedos. The knocking stuff over is another thing the long spines do with ease as well.
