    Anemone on DSB

    i have an anemone in my tank and it sit on the sand bed.. sometimes it moves.. but usually it's on the sand.. and it's 4 years old now.. but never saw troubles.. (i have it in a small tank connected to the main one.. so it's using the main tank sump for filter and the main tank DSB to live..)

    Large rimless/braceless acrylic tank?

    well the critical limit i use is the span.. i dont like to see a glass like an egg.. i know it will hold the water.. but i dont feel ok.. so usually i reduce the span from 1/200 to 1/400 using a thicker glass.. +3mm as you saw.. it will reduce a bit the stress and also the span and wont cost too...

    Large rimless/braceless acrylic tank?

    yup fixed :D my english suck .. sry.. arrow of 1/200 means that hm.. if you have a tank 20 inch tall in the upper central part of the front glass when full of water the glass will move out for no more then 1/200 of the tall.. so 1/200 * 20 inch = 0,1 inch so you wont have a perfect straigh...

    220 volt ballasts

    lol i'm not the only one here that misunderstand things :rolleyes: ganglia.. if it's a 120... you can run with 110.. w/o troubles.. if it's a 220v.. you need a trafo to make it work.. but you have to be sure it can accept 220v 50/60 hz and not 220v 50hz ONLY as the trafo will get your 110V 60hz...

    220 volt ballasts

    well i use a trafo to reduce voltage from 220 to 110 .. and some are autosensing.. but usually a ballast cant be directly connected to the 110 if made for 220 or the opposite..

    220 volt ballasts

    220v = europe version and cant work with 110v you have.. a 100-130 v will work with your 110v w/o troubles.. just check the frequency that should be 50/60hz /you have 60) and it wont fail

    sump circulation rate

    i usually use a 5-7x flow rate for the return pump to be sure all inside the sump can be "feed" properly.. like skimmer and chiller... so you wont risk to have a cold sump and hot tank and you wont risk to have a skimmer that cant clean the tank due to low flow rate on the tank.. usually i try...
