    That's awesome Jim. I love your set up. I think I'm going to have to steal some of your ideas and incorporate them into my 180. I'll be breaking it down soon so I can cook the heck out of the rock and while the tank is down do some mods to it. How much does your return pump push?

    Cool video. I like how its all set up. I can't wait for the fish to come in. :)

    LOL! Resistance is futile. You've already cut back on the youz guyz and you don't even know it. :D Nice job on the return. Hey, maybe I can borrow Lee for a day when I redue my tank. :)

    Sweet, I never thought of that. Cool idea. :)

    Jim, Will the Davy Jones locker over flow once filled or will it just back up into the skimmer. Congrats on the MPs and on the frag rack mods. I'll be making a frag rack this weekend for my 40.

    Sweet. :) I like how you have it all plumbed. Once I get my system set back up, I'm going to hook my biopellet reactor to the skimmer using a T at the skimmer.

    I always knew you were twisted. :) That looks great Frank.

    Nice job on the manifold. I like how neat and tidy it is. Definitely put the bio pellet reactor effluent by the skimmer intake, it will help pull the mulm out. When I set my tank back up I'm going to connect the effluent to a T and have the T connected to the skimmer intake for better mulm...

    Well, I broke the news of the break down to my wife yesterday and I have her permission to temporarily set up the 40 g next to the 125 and use it to hold the corals I'm going to keep. I promised her that all the stinky stuff would occur out side and at Frankie's place. I'll get the 40 set up...

    LOL! Oh yeah, I'll be doing it outside alright. My wife hates it when I make beer inside and I have to do it while she's gone for a few hours and ventilate the house! Um, that's probably why I haven’t made some in a while. :(

    Thanks Krish, Yeah, no pests the second time around. :) Like I said, this has and will be a good leaning experience. I also took down my BioCube 14 a couple of weeks ago because I couldn't win with the algae problem for the same reasons. This time while the BC 14 is down, I'm going to clean...

    Bleach, boil, cook in a vat with a skimmer running, then soak and rinse. And after all this work, I will not be adding any more live rock or coral plug that has not been cleaned/sanitized. I don't want to be fighting algae again.

    Yeah, the way I'm looking at the break down is just another lesson in marine biology and in this hobby. I've definitely leaned a lot from you and Mojo about what is going on and why. Now it's time to fix it. The break down will also give me a chance to make a few changes to the system that I...

    Thanks Scootie. :) Frank sure knows his clams. :) Yeah, I hope the break down goes smoothly too. I got my wife's permission to set up my 40 g for the corals and I'll start moving the fish to the 125. I may sell or trade in some of the fish and some of the corals I really don't want to...

    Hi Mike, :) Thanks for talking with me yesterday, I greatly appreciate your help. I'm going to get set up so I can get my corals and fish moved then I'll start breaking down the tank. I talked with Frankie last night and he's going to help me cook the rocks. I'll also start working on the...

    Awsome video Jim!!! I like the scape and I like the flow.

    Interesting, Frankie said something earlier about boiling the crap out of the rocks too. Will I need to boil all the rocks or just the ones with algae and pests on them? If I boil all the rocks and start from scratch, what will I have to do with the sand, fish and corals? Will I have to get...

    Hi Krish, Thanks, I made a zapper for the aiptasia and been using it. It a little more difficult to zap them than I thought, they retreat into a crevice and I can't get at them so I have to sneak up on them and then zap them. I've been working on the algae, I removed about half the rock and...

    Ok, I ordered some GFO and a reactor from BRS to work on the phosphates and I ordered the Bubble Blaster 3000 and adapter for the skimmer from Reef Specialty. Talked with Mike and he was nice and helpful. Even gave me some good ideas. :) I'm hoping it all comes in by Friday so Frank and I...
