    SWC vs. RO

    I picked up an SWC 200 from mark the other day, already happy with it. Its been running a couple hours now, and its already on the cusp of being broken in( I was expecting it to take another 20). The bubbles are right on the edge of that desired frothiness.

    60 gallon frag system build

    A very nice tank. Ive never built my own, I worry about it falling apart at the seams. Very attractive design.

    new plumbing

    no need to go past 1 1/2" But since your not drilling that creates its own set of problems. Siphon is ok till you get your first spill, then you never want to do it again.

    I need a great 12x12 footprint(or-less), in-sump design. Under $500.

    I kinda like this one: http://www.aquacave.com/reef-octopus-nwb-200-br-needle-wheel-protein--br-skimmer-496.html But the larger footprint would mean Id have to put it on the far side of my sump.(it will accommodate 12x19 footprint). It just means, I have to move all my LR that's currently in the...

    mesh mod? Id rather not mod things, unless it really poses no threat to the longevity of the skimmer. Ideally, id like to get 3-4 years out of this thing.

    DT is a 125 brick/55sump/5g fuge.(so I guess thats 185g system sorry, not 160). It's mainly SPS atm. But now that I have my corals in place, I'm starting to stock with fish. I currently have: 2 adult engineer gobies(12" long). 7 Blue Chromis. Cleaner wrasse. 6 line wrasse Adult Purple Tang...

    I need a great 12x12 footprint(or-less), in-sump design. Under $500.

    I'm searching around, a lot of the threads that I pull up from google are a few years old. Wondering if there's any 2010 models that have had great reviews. I was thinking an Octopus might be a good choice, I currently have a Tunze 9010, but Im really at the edge of its rating with my 160g...

    Sump design ideas please

    Lows cuts the glass for you. But they also have a wide assortment of shapes already precut. Its like $2.50 a peice. As for covered sump, some people do that, but Id ratehr have gas exchange. Also evaporation really isn't that big of a deal. I have a 20g bin on standby with RO water. I grab a 5...

    Sump design ideas please

    Check mine out: The drains go to either end. I can independently control the flow to either side. And the return is in the middle. I have my skimmer and carbon reactor on one side. And the LR/Fuge section on the other. Its a 55g, I used cheap glass for baffles at low's. Like $20 in glass...

    Neptunes 72" Custom LED array.

    :) ty For further reading, here is a thread made by people with testimonials to LED's: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1718642 Read the good and the bad. But if you look, the bad always seems to be from reefers who went skimpy, or turned it up to high. Or tried to experiment...

    Neptunes 72" Custom LED array.

    There has been some questions via PM about proper settings for lights. To answer everyone who might also ask: I don't know. However, from what I am told, the crossing of 50/50 B/W produces about a 14k spectrum. Its a nice vibrant white, that looks better than any MH 14k Ive ever seen. The color...

    Neptunes 72" Custom LED array.

    I can mix and match the color scheme in any combo beetween the Blue and White. The control box lets me adjust and monitor the voltage so I can have an accurate picture of exactly how much output each panel is doing. 2w and 2b. When its done Ill have 4 panels w/8 banks of light. 4w & 4b.

    I want to make a splash guard for my LED array, but I hate how Acrylic warps if its too thin.I found a sheet form someone local for a great price. I want to cut it 72x 8.5" Its 1/2" thick. What kind of light diffusion would that be? I want 90% pass through greater. But if it starts sapping...
