refugium circulation one big question i forgot to ask was about the refugium circulation. as you can see, the fuge is almost 3 feet long and about 9 inches wide, so it's very long. i was thinking of using an eggcrate platform raised about an inch from the bottom, with about an inch thick layer...

the tank will be viewed on 4 sides. will lower the overflow by 1 inch and get "teeth" 1" instead of half. about passing the plugs through the 1" PVC, if it won't fit i was thinking about cutting the plugs, passing the wire through, and splicing the plug afterwards. also, i don't seem to grasp...

hi guys. i have a 36 X 36 X 25 acrylic tank made but havn't decided how to do the overflow. i have the following idea, but want some feedback on it before I actually have it done. don't want to find out that it will not work after having payed for it. I was wondering if a 6 X 6 inch overflow in...

:batangel: hi, i'm on the upper east side and was wondering where i could go to see some cool reef aquariums or stores that sell stuff for them. thanks

nobody interested at all!?!?!? some one out there must need these bulbs! make an offer.

very nice tank i had already seen that tank, and is where i got the idea to suppliment the MH with some type of actinic, VHO in my case. same placement but 4 instead of 2. why? don't know...why not? you are also right about the overflow box, i was playing around with a CAD programs and can...

changes to proposed setup i bought a lumenarc 3 reflector and will be using a hamilton 14K 400 watt bulb. i have the other bulbs i had bought for sale (BUY THEM!!!!!). for actinic supplementation i'm going with a PFO ballast and (4) 18" HO 30 watt URI Super Actinic bulbs. these will be put in a...

my old tank (kind of ghetto) feel free to laugh and comment. here's a few pics of my olds tank. yes, the lights are the cheap Jebo ones, notice how the same type bulb looks different on the sides. funny thing, before these, i have a fixture with (4) 54 watt t5 actinics and (4) 54 watt 12K's i...

pump recomendation for beckett so what pump would you rather use than a mag? they have pretty good ratings and good pressure. wouldn't running the pump out side of the sump to avoid heat issues?

so beckett is better in a way right? if i have a 100 gallon tank and a Mag18 pump it will process more water than a needle wheel with a smaller pump. does this make sense?

MRC MR-1 vs. ASM G-3 with needle wheel mod this is a little more specific. how would a MR-1 with a Mag 18 pump fare against an AMS G-3 with mesh wheel mod JUST in performane and maintenance. Cost aside, pump size, power consumption, customer service ect..ect... any input? thanks

from what i've read, beckett skimmers are the most powerful out there. is this due to the huge size of the pump required to run a beckett skimmer or due to the mechanics of the becketts themselves. On the other hand, i've also read that needle wheel skimmers are very good and even better if you...
