You really have to be familiar with the sea swirl unit and how it operates or own to be able to answer my question though.

I think any picture of a sea swirl wave maker is good enough and better than what I can get picture of. Here is a link to one I found on google...

Hi There, I have a 3/4" sea swirl on the end of the my return line from the sump and I was wondering if anyone has experience with drilling the anti-siphon hole in their sea-swirl? Would it damage the unit at all? The hole has to be drilled into the part that moves so I am a little concerned...

Evening all! Once again I come to you in my hour of need in search of wisdom, guidance and answers from my fellow fish and reef enthusiasts. I have questions on this occasion pertaining to my filter setup. Firstly, (a heads up if you will to justify my ignorance) this is going to be my first...

Alright people, here it is; I have a 135 Gallon Glass tank that has not been drilled so I am going to purchase (depending on what you guys think) either 2 of the single 600Gph overflows or 1 of the 1200Gph overflow boxes from lifereef (see link below) prefilter box, siphon box, overflow box...

Thanks BL1 : )

The return line will be between 4.5' to 5.5' so I'm thinking the Mag 18 to be safe unless anyone has a good reason for the 12. Is the 20G skimmer box going to be big enough? If so then I think I have my setup - Just need to start ordering : ) Thanks Guys!!

Hi all, Firstly thanks to everyone who has helped me out so far. I am planning my first saltwater tank and it has been made that much easier by everyone's help that I have received so far. I have yet another question/questions - I have a 135G tank, I plan on getting one of the lifereef...

Yeah - I'm more inclined to get a skimmer then. I would like to reduce the amount of water changes that I need to do. As I may have mention previously i currently do weekly water changes on 3 FW tanks and I'm sick of it, as much as I love my Cichlids. I am liking the suggestion of the Reef...

Thanks Smitty & Sir Alex - much appreciated. Going to go do more research but I'm feeling pretty good about things. With a skimmer how often would you recommend to do water changes compared to if I didn't have a skimmer?

What about phosphate and carbon too? Both I understand are very important to keep things crystal clear in the water. A good canister would be able to provide that wouldn't it?

Let me get this straight, as this sounds almost too good to be true..... For a FO tank; a tiny bit of live rock and a protein skimmer is all I need...seriously? Nothing else at all?!? not even a UV sterilizer? How does the mechanical waste get filtered?:bounce: Would you be able suggest a...

Need convincing Alright party people here it is.... I am a freshwater fish keeper who has been keeping cichlids for a while now and it has been my intention to keep on doing so until my favorite fish died and since then I have kind of lost the buzz for cichlids. I acquired a new...
