    Bryopsis control question

    Thanks for all the info, I've had this problem for a good year and half. Everything was ok then I got a piece of live rock with a lot of feather dusters on it from a friends sump. Since it was in the sump and not getting much light the rock was clean visually. It didn't take long for the...

    Bryopsis control question

    That's what I thought, only the Kent product will work (that's why I ordered it) too bad they sent me the wrong stuff. I was kinda hoping since Brightwell is sort of a spin off of Kent (so I'vd heard) it might work as well. I think I have too much for one fish to handle. Oh well, I guess I...

    Bryopsis control question

    I've read a lot about using an overdose of Magnesium to combat Bryopsis. Everthing I've read they mention Kent Tech M specifically. Will any of the Mag supplements work for this. I have a bottle of "Brightwell Magnesion", order Kent Tech M and they sent me this instead. I don't want to use...

    Need Skimmer Advice

    Its the total footprint. I can go about 28" tall, but I don't have a lot of room outside of the sump with the two mag-18's and the Chiller on in the area. I think I'll probably get the Euro-reef. Nobody has said anything bad about them, it will fit, and two of my friends are using them...

    Need Skimmer Advice

    About 12"x13", and thats pushing the limits. I may have to go with the Euro-reef, its a smaller footprint. The Euro is so much money, I don't if its that much better, but may the only thing that will fit and work well. I want the best skimmer I can fit in the sump. Thanks for the reply by...

    Need Skimmer Advice

    Thanks for the info, I'm leaning to wards the ASM. I'm worried though that the G-3 won't be big enough, but the G-4 footprint is too big for my sump. Anyone using a G-3 on 175 Gallon or so?

    Need Skimmer Advice

    I have spent about 3 1/2 months setting up my tank and am just about ready to buy the rock and get ready for livestock. However, on the advice of LFS guy I purchased the Red Sea Berlin Turbo Skimmer. I don't like it. The design of the pump seems to be poor. I can't get any decent flow...

    Setting up my first Reef tank

    Thanks for the input. I went to a local aquarium store and spent some money today. Now to go along with the 175 gallon Bowfront I have a Hamilton Tech 6' Prostar with 3-250 watt 10K HQI halide's and 4-96 watt PC compacts. Also a Ero-fil 180 sump with a Red Sea Berlin turbo classic skimmer and...

    Setting up my first Reef tank

    I have a 175 gallon Bowfront tank that I'm going to develop into my first reef attempt. I have had other tanks but have always wanted a reef. My question to start with is in the lighting. The tank is 29.5 inches tall and I plan on having about a 4 inch sand bed. I'm not sure exactly what...
