    Refugium Lighting

    Will NO be good enough for a refugium? I already have the ballasts and NO bulbs that would fit over my 75 sump that I will be building a fuge in. Also what bulbs would you use??

    r/o units > why the waste water ?

    How much water is still usable if it is just used to flush?? Could you not run the water back through the RO unit via a collection sump?? Maybe just a couple of times then start fresh again.

    How horrible!

    I worked in the pet department at a local Wal-Mart about 8 years ago. The pets manager was very knowledgable and was training me, but their system of pee-on help is always making you stop your dutties and help with check-out. We tried to keep the stock best we could, but you always had...

    foxthorn, I thought about the side panels, but my 75G would not fit through. I will make the center easily removable in case it ever happens. Slick, I knew you were talking about yours. We dont want anything to happen to our tanks once in place. JoeZ, All Corvettes are red:D I also have a...

    DIY Stand Question

    Thanks for the input. I used a long level on my frame to make sure it was all plumb and a belt sander for the high spots. I did not get very much opinions so I stayed with my original plan without the top. Now on to making my 75 gallon sump........

    DIY Stand Question

    I have started building my stand for a 200 gallon aquarium and was wondering what the general opinion was on the top......Do I set the tank on the frame or do I put down a sheet of plywood? I am thinking of leaving the sheet off since the sides of the aquarium are all that actually make contact...
