    Eshopps skimmer

    Hmm, are they not designed to be in-sump? That was my understanding at least. Now I'm kinda confused :confused: Eshopps PSK 100 In-sump Skimmer - Barrier Reef Aquariums

    Eshopps skimmer

    Hey guys, I was just wondering if any you had an opinion on the Eshopps PSK 100 skimmer. It's for a 90 gallon tank. This skimmer just caught my eye because it's very affordable compared to most skimmers, it's rated for up to 100 gallon tanks, and I looked up reviews and they all seemed...

    Finally! Gina's (NanoReefer411's) 180+tank upgrade! =)

    He's beautiful. Little too big for a 90 gallon though =/

    Gina, what kind of fish is this? I love the coloration.

    Thrawn's planning/build

    Peppie, pm sent. Thanks for the advice, Eric and Krish. I've never heard of salifert so I'll look into them. I'll probably take Eric's advice on going with api for now, since it's pretty cheap, and then upgrade to a better test kit when I start the reef.

    Thrawn's planning/build

    Yea, I'm definitely going to be getting rid of those things as soon as possible. I put brand new floss in it 2 days ago and changing everything else today. The lady I got all of this from claimed that she hadn't cleaned the tank or the filters in a year and a half. After cracking those filters...

    Thrawn's planning/build

    It is made out of particle board =/ I hadn't even thought of that. Well, looks like I'll be building a stand as well. Thanks for suggesting that, I would have never thought of it, so you might have just saved me a tremendous headache in the future. As far as the Fluvals, they're running floss...

    The complete DIY Sump workshop!

    Great thread, Seth. This helped a lot.

    Thrawn's planning/build

    Alright. So I've got quite a few plans from here, and I'm not sure if I'm being a little too ambitious. We'll start with the stand. First, I would really prefer that it was black, along with the tanks trim. Also, that one tiny door will make it really hard to access a sump, so I'm thinking of...

    The QT One of my snakes trying to figure out what all the commotion is. I also picked up a sump a few weeks back. I'll post some pics of that sometime this week.

    Thrawn's planning/build

    Alright, I finally got the tank this week! A longer wait than I had anticipated but that's okay. The move went smoothly enough, except we lost quite a bit of water and ended up not having enough to fill the tank to turn the filters on. It was a good thing I already had my QT up and running...

    Live rock VS Base rock

    Thanks for the link Big Al. Read through the whole thread, had a lot of good information in it.

    Live rock VS Base rock

    Base rock it is! Finally, a decision that my wallet will agree with!

    Eric & Becca's 180 build

    Thanks man, I needed some eye candy. I'll have to swing by in the next week or so to check it out in person. I see you were able to catch the sailfin.

    Live rock VS Base rock

    Hey guys, I was just curious, what ratio of live rock to base rock should I do for a new 90 gallon tank? I was looking at getting 50 pounds of base rock off of Reefcleaners to start out with. Just curious if I should seed that with LR and if so, how much.

    Eric & Becca's 180 build

    Eric, when are we going to see an updated full tank picture? You've got that little tease in your signature but my eyes hurt from squinting at it too long.

    Question about LED lighting...

    Would one of these work for a 90 gallon? It seems really small for that big of a tank.
  18. Thrawn

    Lets talk LED's..............

    +1 I'm setting up a 90 this month as well and was wondering about maybe going LED's so I'll be keeping my eye on this thread.

    1st Build - New to the game!

    The rockwork is coming along nicely, it looks really good. No bio-wheel on these ones, just some funky blue plastic thing that the return water passes through that's supposed to handle the biological filtration. It's easy to pop off though.

    Thrawn's planning/build

    Would the stocklist work for a reef tank? I haven't decided yet if I'm going to keep it FOWLR or turn it into a reef. I know I'd have to get rid of the chocolate chip star. And Aurigas are listed as not reef compatible but I've seen pictures of reef tanks with them in it.
