    New skin to test..need some help

    Im not sure what to think but it all works just fine. Your decorating leaves a bit to be desired, been drinking again? But seriously I like the "reef" one better the way it was before. Don

    Siphon Break valve

    I dont think a mj1200 is going to push the water up and that far. Looks like a job for a peri pump. Don

    Mag drive plumbing question

    I would use the reinforced but its a bit of a pain. If you fill a bucket with hot water and soak it for a few minutes you can usually get it to do what you want it to. Don

    seahorses & corals

    Personally I think that if you want seahorses you should skip the reef all together. They do real well in specialized sea grass systems. They stress very easy and their primary goal in life is to reproduce. If they are not reproducing they are not happy or healthy. Don

    Post your Questions, Ideas or suggestions here!

    It depends on the type of system. Not to be rude but I'd do a little reading on basic reef chemistry. The bioballs are great and work fantastic for a fish only system that can tolerate nitrates. Don

    Come pick my brain...I know there are more beginners out there.

    If your resin canister channels you need a new container that works properly. In the long run it will save you grief and money. You can get an add on chamber from the filterguys cheap. Don
