    Can the tank surivie without a filter and skimmer for a couple days?

    Just set your skimmer for more of a dryer skimmate. Also can you fit your skimmer with a drain line? It is easy to do with simple stuff from home depot. I fit my ASM skimmer with a drain and also my remora with one. Here is the one I have in my ASM G2

    220 just sitting there?!?!?!?!?

    if nothing else buy bulkheads for all the holes then put pvc in the bulkheads and cap them off you can use them at a later time. Also an idea is use all the holes in the middle and build you a center overflow out of acrylic and use the tank with all your plumbing in the middle. Cap off the...

    Need help building a sump

    Ok this is not my first sump build but I am trying to figure out what my options are to fit under my 120 brick. The inside of the stand is a little under 4ft long about 22" wide. What size tanks can I fit under there?

    Need help with Remora skimmer!

    a few guys on another forum have told me to replace the mag 3 with a mag 5 or mag 7. I thought the smaller remora came with a MJ1200

    Need help with Remora skimmer!

    I have also drilled the cup and cut the skimmer to allow for the drain fitting on the cup. Are there any other mods that can help this skimmer?

    Koralia Pumps ?'s

    Another option is to look at the SEIO prop 1000's I like them better than the Korila's. the magnet is much stronger and the Korila #3 which I believe is 850gph is bigger than the SEIO prop 1000 which is 1000gph. And very close in price
