    Skimmer help

    On the output of the skimmer (I am assuming your just going over the wall where the skimmer sits) you can T it off and run a line to the far end of the weir so the water gets processed again. Hope that helps some. Frank

    Skimmer help

    Very cool dude! You could really control contact time in something like that by recirculating it back into the weir.

    Skimmer help

    Not really. All others basically over skim. What I mean wit that is they pull out mostly wanted stuff and very little unwanted. That's why they have such a dark skimmate. It's loaded with beneficial bacteria. What were looking to do with skimmers is remove unwanted nutrients. For a better...

    Skimmer help

    Look into Tunze Doc Skimmers for the better performance and maintenance. It is not a hang on back but can go inside the display tank. The design makes this skimmer one of the best performers available for systems your size. Don't get caught up in all the hype on designs and foam quality of other...

    Tank turned 41 years old

    No doubt Paul, When a hobby becomes a chore, it's not a hobby anymore. Get some pictures up when you have a chance of those shrimp. You may be able to change there appearance with light. I will be using clear cardinals for my new display because of how they look under 20k radium.

    Who makes the best all in one tank...

    I didn't talk about it because I don't like there design. They are hot boxes just waiting to crash. The filtration system is poorly designed and hard to maintain. That's why I linked you to the media basket. Fits right in the RSM and pulls out easy for cleaning. As with all nano's, you need to...

    Who makes the best all in one tank...

    I have seen the best success with the RSM system. The InTank Media Baskets media basket is made for it and the best replacement filter for it. I would go that way if I was getting into a nano. ( honestly, I would just build my own all in one) Elos is the best I have seen if you have the money...

    Why is my SG so high?

    WC = Water Changes I agree that the deep six is good for a land fill or something. Invest into a refractometer as Michael suggested. Your going to raise your salinity to 1.026 SG at a temperature between 76-80f. I shoot for 76-78f. Basically were riding you to consider making your own...

    Why is my SG so high?

    Both posts pretty much sum up the problem here. How are you testing your salinity and what are you doing to top off evaporated water with? You need to add freshwater as it evaporates from the system. Salt will not evaporate, so as the freshwater evaporates from the system the salinity go's...

    Painting Back of Tank

    Painting Back of Tank

    IF you want it to last, the best option is to use an oil based primer tinted to the color your wanting. Spray paint will peel off over time.

    anaerobic zones

    Hey Sas, try googling Cryptic Zone. You will get better results on your questions. There are a few threads here in the data base on this topic but not what I think your looking for. To create a zone like this your looking for complete darkness and very little water movement. I have messed...

    The last episode of TANKED!

    I only saw one episode so far, the phone booth one. Cool Fish only tank. The show works for me as long as they stay away from reefs.

    60 gallon frag system build

    Thanks Todd and Chris! Yeah, I need to get some work done on this thing. This week I will try to finish the plumbing so we can get the sump going. The Doors are right off a house on Broad St Chris, so there will be plenty of viewing going on :) I am enjoying the work. Less labor then restoring...
