    What do you all think???

    Thanks krish...funny thing about the rockwork. I couldn't see ANYTHING when I put it in...it was soooooooo cloudy. I just kinda tossed it in with the intention of changing it later. When it cleared up I thought it was pretty cool so I kept it. One thing that I thought was VERY cool: You can...

    What do you all think???

    Not sure yet Marty what kind of corals I'm going to put in here. I'm thinking that with the amount of flow I have I'm kinda forced to go SPS...Oh darn:)

    What do you all think???

    Thanks everyone. Yes the return is throught he scwd. The closed loop is coming out through the curved pvc in the middle and back in through the 1/2 fittings on the bottom. Haven't got a skimmer on it yet. Looking for one though:) The sump is a value village aquistion...it's an 18 gallon...

    What do you all think???

    This took me 3 weeks (most of the rock and occupants of the tank resided in my old 15 gallon prior to this)...two 16 gallon AGA bowfronts (I broke the 1st one and almost gave up). Numerous trial and error attempts with plumbing (I'm still not happy with that). And a whole lot of support from...

    What do you all think???

    What do you all think??? New 16g AGA bowfront Well it's finally done to the point that I can actually say it looks like a reeftank. Any constructive comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Smallest overflow?

    Drill it and use a standpipe.

    Painting glass tank backs

    It takes a couple of coats to make sure you don't miss anything. Use several light coats to avoid running. It will flake and come off if you scratch against it with something but it's easy to touch up. You probably won't have to much occasion to mess it up once you have the tank up and running.

    Painting glass tank backs

    I paint all of mine...just like the way it looks as opposed to looking all the way through the tank. Just use a flat black enamel spray paint. Mask everthing off so that you don't have overspray (it's pretty easy to clean off if you do though). Piece of cake.

    Too Much Flow???

    Ok using that calculator I have an estimated 1102 GPH of flow is this tank. Tha's assuming a 25% reduction on the return because of the SCWD. That's actually more flow per gallon Krish than you have in your 75....Better add some more LOL.

    LOL...well I think the rock is still solid so I must be ok.

    Too Much Flow???

    Ok...........how do you determine how many GPH you have??? Or is it just an estimate based on the types of pumps you have??? There is minimal sand displacement and what there is will be reduced by aquascaping and nozzle adjustment. Not sure what i'm going to put in here yet.

    Too Much Flow???

    Hey everyone, Just wanted to get some input on whether or not it's possible to get TOO MUCH flow and if so what are some indications. I just finished setting up an AGA 16 gallon bowfront and have the returns coming back from the sump via a scwd and a quiet one 4 something or other. Also I have...
