I bought 2 tanks from them. The 240 tall and the 120, 4', for my sump/fuge. I put my own baffles in, but had them drill the holes in the 240 and put in the internal overflows. He'll put them wherever you want them, just make sure you are clear about it. If you ask him, he'll also drill the...

Actually, somebody told me the Sequence's were 2" inputs. In looking at the specs online, it now looks like they are 1.5". With 1.5" pipe, it now says it's considered 16.77' head as opposed to 13.84' head with 2'' pipe. Can I put 2'' pipe on they output to get better flow? Don't really...

Squidd, I found a guy who lives about 10 minutes away that can do a hole for a 2'' bulkhead. No guarantees, but I guess it's worth a shot. What size hole is a 2'' bulkhead anyways? What are your thoughts on Sequence pumps? I was looking at the 4600SEQ22. At 14' head, it'll pump about 3000...

Squidd, I found a place that will drill holes for 1'' bulkheads. I can't find anywhere that can do the 2 3/8'' hole for the 1 1/2'' bulkheads, which is what I need. The guy who does the 1'' holes charges $10 per hole, no guarantee, but assured me he's done several hundred holes and has barely...

So if I do it, for a 1 1/2'' bulkhead, I need to make a hole of 2 3/8'', correct? I've called about 8 places and they won't do holes that big. I really want to do an external pump. Do you know where I can get a bit that big, or have a better idea how to do it? I can't remember if the glass...

Hey Squidd, it's been a while. I hope all is well. I have a question. I just moved to a new house, and had to tear down the tank, which was doing very well by the way, and am getting ready to get things going again. This time, with my basement sump/fuge, I want an external pump. The only...

Beth, where do I get formalin? I have no idea. The clown isn't doing so good today. He'll probably be gone by tomorrow morning if I don't get this stuff tonight. I also need it in case I notice any of my other fish come up with the same symptons. Help! Thanks.

Also, he isn't really breathing hard at all. It seems normal, and he's swimming and eating just the same, just to answer your other question.

Actually, I just looked at your post at the top of the forum. Yes, it does look like the first pic of a clown with advanced stage of brooklynella, although only half his body was covered. So this coating is brooklynella? Should I be worried for my other fish now?

Beth, Thanks for getting back to me. I've had it for about 1 1/2 months now. It seems like the web like stuff is all off of him now. I actually caught the fish about 5 minutes after the post. It's now in my other tank until I figure out what it is. Does Brooklynella fall off? I'm sure that...

I have a true perc in my 240 gallon tank. All levels in the tank are fine. Today, I noticed he had a white coating over him. He was covered in what looked like a spider web over half his body, the front half, and covering the top, his dorsal fin. There are no spots on him, but just this weird...

They are about 1 1/2'' right now. Maybe the orange, which is on all 3, is something that happens in the juvenille stage, and than maybe their whole underbottom or fin or something turns that color. I don't know. Trying to figure it out, but if 1 will turn male, I guess it doesn't really...

At first I thought it was a Dispar, but aren't their faces a little more pointy, or does that come with age, or maybe when they are younger? I don't know. I've looked at pics on several sites and color wise, it looks kind of like a Dispar, but shape wise, it looks more like a female Lyretail...

Does anybody know exactly which Anthias this is? I bought 3 of them about 2 weeks ago from an LFS around here, they had them for $20 each. They had them labled something I can't exactly remember. I know the label was 3 words and the first word started with a T and then Fairy Anthias. I think...

Squidd, one other one I was looking for some help with. If I want to get away from using the Mag 36, because it's so loud, are there any other options for submersible that will give me at least 1500 GPH at 13.5' head? Even 1000-1200 GPH would be fine, I would think. 1500 GPH makes the water...
