    My new sump design

    Last night I cut the Euro Brace off my 55. I used an acrylic cutter and scored it as deep as I could and then I broke the pieces off. It didn't go as good as I'd hoped but the few jaged edges at the top are manageable. On the plumbing side of things I think I have it figured out. Here it...

    My new sump design

    I see, was your friends pump in sump or outside? It looks like there is just a pipe under the egg crate. Did you plan on having no snails inside the fuge or did you just plan on larger ones?

    My new sump design

    Thanks Kim, Would I be better to use a different macro or is chaeto the safest? If the chaeto needs better flow should I put the fuge in the middle and have all the water flow through it and then into the return chamber? Also, since my skimmer works best in 7-8" of water I will build a stand...

    My new sump design

    I'm kind of combining my two threads the other is called "Plumbing a lon run under my house". Since I have my new/used 55 cleaned up and ready for modification I thought I'd use this thread to get advice. I like this design with my return in the middle and the fuge on the right...

    dying coral

    ok i'm kind of new to this and I don't have a dremel. I do howerver have every other tool you can imaging most I think would be too big for a coral. What is a good way to cut it? Is a jigsaw too brutal? Should I try and score it and break it. Hmm too bad I loaned my tile saw to my brother.

    dying coral

    Man Charged with smuggling Coral in Oregon

    This may seem like a silly question but if I have an sps or lps die it there something I can do with it so it can later be used beneficially in my aquarium (media reactor)? I'm kind of new at this and by no means am I trying to kill anything but I've made a couple of mistakes.

    Overflow covers

    Hi I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can find a piece of black plastic for my overflow cover. I want to cut it out to cover my overflow like the ones they have at Barrier Reef. Should I just use acrylic and paint it?

    My new sump design

    I didn't think the "euro brace" would be a big deal since I will be adding five or six baffles. If anyone else has any thoughts regarding this I would appreciate it.

    My new sump design

    Ok so begins the sump build. Yesterday I got a free 55 gallon acrylic from a Ree Frontiers member. The tank has 3 holes in the bottome that I plan on covering with acrylic patches. I've started cleaning out the tank today and I see my first problem. A previous owner has added 2" x 2" squares...
