Just received an MR2 from MRC. Dual beckett injectors. Would love any tips on initial setup as well as long term settings. I will be running externally. How high in the first riser should the water level be? Should I set water level with air valves open or closed? I tried setting with...

Hey, I have a couple of questions for those of you with experience. I currently have a new tank in setup and am getting ready to add some live rock and sand to begin establishing my tank. Basic tank specs. are: 225 gal. (72"x24"x30") with 45 gal. sump. Two closed loops with approx. 6000 gph...

Keep up with updates, if you don't mind. I will be attempting the same thing in a few months. I hope to try a little/no impact reef.. I've made homemade rock and am going to get some from hirocks, or equivalent and seed with crushed aquacultured live rock and some Garf grunge along with some...

Beautiful.. Every time I see a thread like this it makes me want to both hurry up and set up my tank and then slow down and make sure I do it right. Fish or cut bait, fish or cut bait??? LOL. It's making me nuts. Originally when I bought my tank, I never realized what I was getting into...

Don't know, that's why I keep asking questions and reading. I have 1-1/2" drain bulkheads in each of my overflows(2) and 1" returns. I'm going to flow both drains to my sump and return through 1" sea swirls. So whatever that is in GPM is what I'll flow through my sump. My two closed loop...
