    Help setting up Kent Marine Nautilus Turbo Eductor

    Thanks Skimmy and Finn. I had already planned on upgrading the skimmer anyway I guess this just accelerates the time table. Skimmy, I saw the SWC 150, but I figured if I'm going to spend 200 I might as well spend 275 and go with the SWC 160 cone. From your posts and others I was reading it's...

    Sump build 40 gallon breeder tank

    Haha, Thanks Rob. My wife did all the hard work with the silicone, I just held it in place and smushed it into the baffles.

    Help setting up Kent Marine Nautilus Turbo Eductor

    I've got a quick question for someone who's used my skimmer before. I've got a Kent Marine Nautilus Turbo Eductor Protein Skimmer with my tank off criagslist. I can't find a manual or anything online about it. Most reviews are really old and a lot of posts say they're not that good. I...

    The silicon wait

    I just put my sump together and ran into the same thing 24-48 hours was on the tube and just by feel you can tell that 24 hours isn't enough for the large beads I used. I did the refugium and raised baffle for the bubble trap first then the other 2 baffles 24 hours later (when I could remove...

    Sump build 40 gallon breeder tank

    I need to take a new picture now that it's installed. I had to run around yesterday and find a local place that has PVC bulkheads, I damaged ours trying to get them out Sunday and had unhappy fish yesterday until I got the overflow working again :-)

    From what I've read it's kind of up to personal preference. Most of the posts I read said no mud. It depends what you're doing in your refugium I guess. I'm going for about 1.5-2" of sand with some live rock rubble on top and some Cheato growing. I made a 7.5"x18x13 refugium and I'm going to...

    Sump build 40 gallon breeder tank

    I figured I'd share pictures of my sump before I put it in the stand. http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb412/Tecnomage/P1020456.jpg I put the baffles at 12" for the bubble trap and 13" for the refugium. I figured that would make it too deep for the skimmer so I built that little stand. I...

    How to start a refugium?

    Thanks krish. I did some searching and it looks like Chaeto requires a day/night cycle so I'll run it opposite of the display tank.

    How to start a refugium?

    My wife and I are redoing our sump setup for our 90 gallon display. We got a new 40 gallon breeder tank and are dividing it into 3 sections (intake/skimmer - return - refugium) with glass baffles. Right now the first baffle for the bubble trap and the baffle for the refugium section are...

    Thanks for the thoughts! Like I said I'm new to all this and doing a lot of reading online. I'll start doing water changes more frequently and checking all those things you suggested more often.

    Thanks for the heads up. I inherited the algae with the tank, the cleanup crew and RO/DI water is making a huge improvement already. There might be 10 gallons of non RO/DI water in there because I didn't read a label closely enough. I knew I was going to get into a battle with algae when I...

    Thanks guys! I don't seem to have enough posts under my belt to attach pics. It only gives me 20k of space for attachments.

    Hey everyone, my wife and I just started our saltwater adventure. We found a 90 gallon tank and sump on Craigslist that needed more attention than the owner could give it. So 2 weeks ago we picked it up mixed some new water, added a cleaning crew and now we're trying to pace ourselves so we...
