    Head Loss

    Just so you know a mag 7 or mag 9, the manufacturer recommends 1.5 inch piping to get the correct flow from the pump. I have a mag 9 and used 3/4 pipng and it did o.k. Then I switched to the manufacturer's recommendation after I read it in the directions (duh)and it made a huge difference. Pump...

    Please help with Sump Return & Overflow --PICS--

    My question is why do you want so much flow through your sump? I would get a smaller pump, about 1/2 of what you have and then run the mag18 for your closed loop.. Also as for your question on the overflow. It is not large enough to handle 1400 gph. Yes the drain size is correct but the minimum...

    Maroon Clowns Losing Host Anemone

    I do not think it matters that they have an anenome. I ended up selling my 2 rbta's and the 2 tomato clowns that hosted in them just found a different spot in the tank to hang out. They have never really swam around alot in the tank. They pretty much stay in one area that they like and protect...

    Katchupoy's (Cesar) 40Breeder X2 Reef Project

    I agree to paint. It will keep the wood in better shape. Looking good so far. The only thing I would leave out is the styrofoam. Most manufacturer's will not warranty a tank if place on it...

    octopus..

    Here is what will happen if you do get bit!!!! You should wear very heavy gloves when in the tank. They can bite through a wetsuit if this gives you an idea of how strong their bite is.... What to do if you get bit! The bite of the blue-ringed octopus may be painless but it is definately...

    You can always frag him. I had a fairly large one and sold him. a fellow reefer had him fragged during one of our member meetings. Here's a link. http://www.clubswam.org/Forum/index.php/topic,756.0.html I know is looks and sounds aweful but if it is done properly he will heal up just fine...

    xenia are all dying

    I was going to say check your alkalinty. If it is low that is probably the problem. Alkalinity needs to be spot on with xenia. I had the same problem with my first batch of xenia and low alk was the problem. Fixed that and they took off.... Good Luck

    Overflow not flowing so well...

    Check the pump that is hooked to the overflow box. Most of the time the tubing to it becomes clogged and the pump will stop sucking the air from the overflow causing problems. this is the reason I removed my CPR overflow. Tired of water on the floor. Very poor design. you should switch to a...

    Naso Tang

    Why does everyone judge someone when they want a Naso tang in a 75G? Have you kept one and had bad luck? I kept a Naso in a 75 for 2 years. Purchased him young and he grew to 6+ inches before I traded him off to a larger home. In the 2 years I had him he was the happiest fish I had. Don't...
