As you can see, I have configured the baffles in my new fuge in the over-under-over arrangement which I see typically used by those who post on this DB. It has come to my attention via this board that the correct flow arrangement should be under-over-under, or just under-over. I'm considering...

I've got a new 125 gal. long (72") which I'm about to start plumbing to my new 55 gal. fuge. I'm running split 1" returns from a Mag 24 against approx. 5.5' of head. Any advice / opinions on where to locate or point the nozzles (well I don't really have "nozzles" per se but rather the terminus...

My first thought is, why do you need the "unknown pump" at all? Why not just syphon? (after you raise the sump to the same level as your fuge so you dont end up with a flood)

I'm working on a 125gal long fish & live-rock set up. Just finished bench and wiring electrical outlets. My thoughts are now turning towards lighting and what I'll put in the refugium. I thought it might be cool to use limu the excess of which I might harvest for mixing with my poke. I would...

Outstanding! I went out and got the 55 today, bought the skimmer pump, and thirty bucks worth of acrylic scrap for baffles from a plastics shop. Went down to my local big box hardware and dropped another $160 on wiring, a 20 amp circuit beaker and GFCI outlet (dedicated circuit for aquarium)...

>>> Would be interested in specs and pics..??<<< So would I. To my chagrin none came in the box's save the claim "for tanks up to 300 gal." on the box for the skimmer, and the flow rates on the box for the pump. I'll see what I can manage for pics. Looks like maingo just got one with his new...

Anyway I bought a CA super vortex 1003 skimmer today ($100) and CA -6000 aqua pump ($65) rated at about 1500 gph @ 4'. I was wondering can I plumb it so that I can tee my 1'' discharge from the pump with a ball valve choking or rather adjusting the flow to my skimmer while the lions share of...

Hi all: I've been lurking on this DB for a few days and have learned a lot. I beg your indulgence as a newb, and hope to eventually give as much or more than I get. My present circumstance is that I've just bought a new 125 gal. all glass aquarium 6' x 22' x 18". I'm going to be building a...
