when I moved and reset my tank into 2 smaller ones, I needed some overflows to work my sump system. I scoured through all the standard ones you see on places like Marinedepot and BRS. Then, right before purchasing I found a thread on ReefCentral with only 6 posts and only one vendor mentioned -...

Well, I have been gone so I will reintroduce myself. Hello everyone, been a few years but I have not given up on the hobby. Instead I've been consolidating and rebuilding a 30g halfmoon. I recently scaled down from my 75 when I moved in to a new apartment. I'm honestly really excited to be back...

Have a small tank? No room for an Overflow? Limited cabinet space? The $60 sump could fix your problems. With the downgrade to my current setup, I found myself having little room on the new BF to fit my protein skimmer heater and powerheads without everything looking cluttered. So I decided...

So with this post a few things I suppose, hello all once again, for starters. Secondly, I will be downgrading the 75 to a more space efficient tank for when I move. Which brings me to the first question. This is mostly an opinions question, but I am looking at a 30 bowfront tank which is tall...

Is this a sponge?

Thought I would post this since i took some readings with my Kill a watts EZ meter of the new fixtures and ballasts from Aquatraders. I know I've posted some things before on their fixtures since I use them, but I thought having some concrete numbers might help people. First the new ballast for...

Setting up my refugium, what color bulbs can I use to keep chaeto and some mangroves? Is it 6500+ or are 10ks needed?

Well just placed the order for all of my replacement bulbs. Just wanted to throw them support. I know everyone recommends them already, but for for anyone who hasn't given them a shot, please do. They were not only helpful, but they had a pretty in depth conversation with me through email...

I know what aiptasia looks like, and I remember us having a thread about these guys a year back or so. They are completely brown small and grow in clusters, they have stinging tentacles. etc, anyone offer some help out, Im trying to get the pic now.

I know we have had several people post on here that their heater broke and the water is ice cold, or that it stayed on and the temps are to high. Here is your quick fix for either of those solutions using nothing more than a bottle of water. 1 freeze the bottles and float them in your tank to...

Erin will fix this fully when she has all the photos until then. Enjoy. I figured that since I hadn't found one on this site (there are multiple ones on different forums) that I would make one for us while I made mine. I figure with all the talk about Mandarins going on as well, that these...

Just ordered 4 frags of zoas from R2G. Barney's, Cherry Bombs, Bam Bams, and Fire and Ice zoas. Will post them pics people love when they get in, should be the same as the new lights so, all in all, a good week!. Also R2G has exceptional deals going right now with their BOGO's and their...

I know both are great brands, and I have actually used ATI, my main concern has been the lack of information I've been able to dig up. So I was hoping any T5 users would be able to tell me about colors theyve tried and what the effect was for the tank and coral (coloration mainly, since my tank...

It's that time, time for me to replace both my 250w halides and 4 54w T5's. I was using Ati blue+ and 14k Pheonix bulbs but was thinking of going with the Coralvue 14ks, 2 Purple+, 1 Blue+, and 1 True Actinic 03 (All ATI if there was any confusion). Any thoughts on the Halides or the T5's? Maybe...

So I have an RD 102 filter from Filter Direct and was hoping someone might have some advice with a problem im having. I JUST moved and to install the filter in my new house I had to connect it to my faucet via adapters (that was a nightmare in itself) now that I have the filter connected the PSI...

Got that nice brown slimy film covering everything in my 75. As most people know, I recently broke my 75 down to rebuild it(which happened about 2 weeks ago). Now after having all the rock back in there and having washed the sand( which was recycled along with half of the rock) this stuff seems...

Pics coming shortly broke down the 75 to fix the sand and other issues im having. I like the look might leave it set up this way. Just setting this in.

The odyssea ps160 skimmer is available for around 45 bucks and despite the brand and price it has received praise from several including the "coveted" approval from those at reefcentral. Several people apparently bought them in an apparent joke and were then surprised by the performance. This is...

Setting my 30 up to hold the 75 livestock while i rebuild on the 75. Ordering proper lighting to maintain the corals while this happen. I was wondering whether i should invest into a 4 or 6 bulb fixture. I was leaning towards the 6 bulb since I would be able to turn the 30 into a frag tank or a...

So having exhausted almost every angle im left with a choice that I am not entirely happy about. I'm going to breakdown the 75. Hopefully I can get it restarted and have it rebuilt within a few months. Thanks for all the help everyone has offered.
