    Flower Pots...Gonipora...Under halides?

    I have a red goni colony under 250W DE 20ks and it is doing great and has been growing for well over three years. It has also dropped off calcarious nodules that I have given to some friends and all of them are also running MH and the goni's are doing great. They are directly under the...

    Questions re the Calfo Manifold

    ahhhh good question Mat. If the output of the pump is larger than the "teeth" of the overflow can handle, it can drain the sump dry and put all the water into the tank. However, if you are doing it via the bulkheads as you have stated, then there is no issues as the input and output should be...

    Questions re the Calfo Manifold

    Hi Mat, some things that I did was to put the input for the closed loop midway into the tank. My thoughts were if it was too high it could end up sucking air from the surface. Too low and I was concerned about sand getting kicked up and then put into the closed loop. Nothing wrong in putting...

    Questions re the Calfo Manifold

    Anthony, on the manifold, with the 10 outlets, what are the sizes you are using? I was curious if there was too much velocity. Perhaps it would be a great solution on the new tank, but still probably need more than one. Kip

    Hi Mat, have you considered instead of changing the flow from the sump and using a manfold to have the returns enter the tank via sea swirl? Then use a closed loop for the manifold? My only concern with further reducing the diameter of the pipe is that you are a increasing friction loss and...

    Poll: What Type of Digital Camera Do You Use?

    I have the Canon 10D and just upgraded to the new 20D. One reason I bought the SLR is most digital cameras have a delay from when you squeeze and when the image actually takes. I have kids that play soccer and volleyball and was having problems getting a good action shot where the ball was...

    Sneak Peak of new tank!

    Donovan, Have you discuessed with the manufacturer regarding the potential long-term damage to the rock if a tang, for example, picks at the "coral" as it browses for algae? Also, with the front of the tank being a solid wall, have you found it challenging to clean algae off the front? I am...

    Sneak Peak of new tank!

    Hi Donovan, It really looks quite amazing. A couple of questions for you if I may. 1. How do you like the corals now that they are underwater. Do they look real and do they "sway" at all in the current? I have seen them before out of the water and the colors seem brighter, but in the water...

    New Pics of the 450

    I am hoping to come by and see it again next time I am in town. Really want to see the recent additions and the changes. I have just redone my 165 with a closed loop so we shall see what the results will be. Looks amazing Mike. Kip
