Is it a good type of surface skimmer though? And will it be as effective an overflowbox?

is this still for sale?

I bought a used tank from someone and they had the tank drilled on the top. I'm just wondering, how i would set it up into an overflow. Do i just use an elbow pvc? will be enough to act as a overflow? Or is there a better way?

alright, i'll get one, but for the time being i'll just prolly buy from the lfs. Is that a good idea? Or should their RO water not be trusted?

thanks so much! :D and sorry for the stupid questions.

i mean have you heard anyone used this kind Nature's Ocean Marine White Sand at PETCO i can't seem to find any unbiased reviews

Is using PETCO's white sand okay, because it costs less than the carribean sand?

In your opinion, do you think i should reuse the aragonite bed from the old tank, and thoroughly rinse it clean orrr get a new sand bed?

what kind of medium should i rinse the sand with first? tap water? ?RO water? Or saltwater? and thansk:D

alright thanks:)

how much lbs of sand do you think is efficient for a 55g system?

does the number of stages matter? i saw a good 2 stage one on ebay. will that be able to suffice? Will any reverse osmosis system do the trick? or does it have to specific for aquarium use?

are all RO systems the same? like is there any good ones out there for a cheap price? or are they all expensive like around a protein skimmer's price?

wouldn't there be a problem though, since i already have 50lbs of live rock and live stock in the system. Does that mean that i have to transfer all these into another aquarium and wait for the my main system with new sand to cycle(which can go for weeks?)

I know that many would prefer RO than dechlorinated because it'd just be pure h20, but is there really anything with dechlorinated tap water? If i only use this type of water can it sustain a reef system?

what do you mean by "mini cycle"? sorry, i'm kinda new to saltwater tanks.

i bought a used aquarium from a buddy for quite a deal, but he has some algae growing under his aragonite sand bed. How should i go about removing this? Should i just transfer my live stock in another tank and rinse and stir the aragonite sand bed with fresh salt water? Or is there another...
