Just to add on to all the positive comments. After getting two of my friends into the hobby...and having them commit $$$$...I suggested the FNI.com 30'' T5 fixtures for both of them and they're both very happy with them. After personally keeping up with their tanks in person as well as the...

Oh and another thing....i'm getting TONS of microbubbles...what kinda adjustments do I need to make?

Ladies and gentlemen....I present to you...in my 3 years of reefing...my first ever successful DIY project lol. Thanks to the support and suggestions of LivingReef members, I went ahead and researched further into Algae Scrubbers. Much of this information was obtained from all the stuff Santa...

Movin up in the world lol. Congrats!

Lol roger that. Thanks guys.

Oh one of my LFS has had a garden eel for a few months now...I think most customers don't even see it...but my sandbed is only about 1.5 ''

Just curious, any fish/eels/inverts out there that are reef safe? I have a Fluval Chi filled with ghost shrimp spawning regularly....I set it up for a fuzzy dwarf lion tank that never got completed. I'm only working with a 20 long with a (soon to be) 10 G sump and ATS....I can guess the answer...

Thanks for the links Pwny, I'm gonna go hunt for a Quiet One pump. Also scratch the coralife, I've never used a sump before on my nanos and I don't want to risk any potential user-issues just to save a couple of bucks.

Nice. Almost forgot about them. Ive heard good things. Im lookin for 300-550 gph roughly. Purely bc of cost. Otherwise id look for ~1000gph just in case i decide to turn it into a reef.
