    I need a better skimmer for my 275 g.

    To be honest, I would go with the swc 250 cone.

    looking for sugestions on a sump

    You're right on both points Finn. A 15 high would take care of the problem with the water level. The biggest issue no matter what sump he goes with is the height under the tank. Trying to find a skimmer that short is gonna be the real issue. He'd have to go with maybe a Tunze 9005 or...

    looking for sugestions on a sump

    A 15 high is like 18" I think. I have no idea why people would say you would get bubbles in your display from having a 10g sump. Putting in a bubble trap in the sump would take care of that. The problem you have is there aren't very many glass tanks that will fit under a 55g tank being that...

    It's a glass tank. Thanks for the info though.

    looking for sugestions on a sump

    Looks like a 10g, Finn. There is nothing wrong with a 10g for a sump. Sure, you want as large a sump as possible, but that's to increase your water volume and it's easier to fit a nice skimmer in there. You could get yourself a 15g high. If a 10g is all you can get though, it's better then...

    Poisonous Palythoa Polyps

    Dfulton, I'd suggest you look at this scientifically instead of listening to the people at Saltwater City. A "finger" test is no better then a "SWAG". You have to look at the symptoms of this particular toxin i.e. death. You say this happened very shortly after getting the LR. I highly doubt...

    If the tank was empty, but I'm assuming this has water as well as livestock in it. Use a razor blade or scraper up until the silicone.

    lps corals

    How big is your tank and when you say 2 t5's, what wattage are you talking about? If you've got a 75g tank with 2 54w bulbs over it, you won't be growing much of anything.

    Merc + Brad's new 50g

    The mp40 will work great on that tank.

    To drill, or not to drill....

    The group buy I was in on as well as dailydriven911, was through an authorized dealer. A guy on nano-reef.com set it up with the retailer, but we were sent a paypal invoice directly from the company and the item shipped directly from them as well. No money went to a third party.

    a new plant

    A tang would be able to control that. In fact, chances are it would wipe it out in a days time. I have rocks in my fuge that have a couple different types of caulerpa on them. I switch them into the display once a month just to give the tangs some fresh seaweed to eat. Generally it's gone in...

    To drill, or not to drill....

    I'd have to agree with your assessment. Keep an eye out on reef central or nano-reef.com and you'll see group buys for mp40's. You can usually get them for about 60 off retail shipped.

    To drill, or not to drill....

    Chad, if I turn off the k3's the flow is still there, but the xenia on the side of the tank that is opposite the mp40 do lose quite a bit of motion. That's with the reef crest mode. If I use the short pulse mode, I can get a wave going the length of the tank, but it's not random like the reef...

    To drill, or not to drill....

    I have 1 mp40 and 2 k3's on my 125g. I'll be getting another mp40 here pretty soon I hope. With what I have now, it's still a pretty good amount of flow. With the 2 mp40's linked together, I'm sure I'll be happy with it. Using them on reef crest mode, you get a lot of random flow in the tank.

    Merc + Brad's new 50g

    I would say so. The main problem with having dead rock like that is there is no micro algae that would normally be on LR. I'd say run over to BR and get yourself one of the 20 for $20 clean up crews. Get 10 astraea and 10 nerites and you'll be fine. In my 125g I've only got about 40 snails...

    PETA angry over NW tradition

    closed loop vs tunze PH

    I went with vortech myself. I have one and am getting another soon. I got in on a group buy on the first and the second one will be another great deal. If you went with 4 6125's and a 7095 controller, that would be plenty of flow. You could also go with the 6105's for controllable flow...

    My 20 Gallon Long......

    That's the only time mine ever shows it face too. I know it comes out at night as well, but the only time when the lights are on is when it smells blood in the water.
