    Hello to all and GO TIGERS

    Hello and Welcome to RF, Purple up is just a buffer that is supposed to help coralinr grow. I am not sure how it works since I have never used it. Sea-Lab I have never heard of it and Compacts are ok lights. T5's are more widely used now. Burning2nd i9s absolutely correct, Great people here...

    overflow questions

    No problem, I am always glad to help. For the overflow, we use egg crate so no fish can get into the overflow. As for drilling the bottom. the longer the overflow the more holes you can get into it. That tank there has 2x1.5" Durso's and 2x1" returns in the bottom that will come over the top of...

    Need ID Please!

    We found this crab tonight. We have not found any missing fish or my corals haven't looked like they have been picked at. The crab looks like it has coraline all over it and is super ugly. It is about 4" inches across toe to toe and 2.5" front to back. Small pincers and just picked at the...

    overflow questions

    Ok great, Now, I have better idea of what you are looking at and your restrictions. This is what I recommend. Remember this is just my opinion. I am not huge fan of height. I am not a short person (6.0'), my tank is 26" high. I have a hard time getting to the bottom at that height. What I do...

    Drilled hole,s

    One word of advice....Drill halfway on one side then finish the hole on the oposite side so you don't get nasty chip away. :D nice jobe by the way.

    overflow questions

    Tracey, I was wondering. Are those dimensions what you really want or need? If you went more like 72"x30"x24" you could use 1/2" glass. I know closed loop is more pretty. It isn't more efficient. Tunze's draw less power and will give more flow. Other than that, the closedloop intake in my...

    overflow questions

    Yes, that is what you "HAVE" to do before it is tempered. Once it is tempered nothing more can be done to that peice. :D

    overflow questions

    I am not trying to sway you from the builder you are in contact with. But, I am not the person to ask these questions. John would be glad to answer that. I know what I would use to build that tank. But, if I say one thing, you call John and he says another, I don't want to contradict the person...

    overflow questions

    Hello Tracy, 1. Yes the pane is notched for the overflow. Basically you can put an overflow anywhere you want to on a panel. Although my recommendation is to keep it 2-3" in from the edge. Sometimes glass isn't cut exactly straight. This will help make it look like it is exactly square. Glass...
