Is the sump design I have chosen a good one? Is there anything I should do differently, or will this work well? Is 2" between the overflow skimmer chamber wal,l and the baffle a good number? Thanks

Do you know where I can get a remora c pro, a U tube, and a maxi-jett 900. I can find places with one or the other, including that auction site, but I don't want to pay shipping 3 times. I have found other online stores that have remora, and maxi jet, but no u-tubes. Also will I need to use...

Sorry, I have been thinking about this stuff all day long, all night long, and in my sleep. After I post a reply I seem to always rethink what I have said, and find a better way to put it, or think of something I missed or want to change. Instead of posting a new reply I have been making use...

Well you talked me into it, I will order the aqua c remora pro skimmer, and try to pawn off the crap jebo skimmer. Any suggestions on what pump to get with the remora pro? The ones I have seen so far come with either a rio, or a mag 3. Will I be able to use the remora pro on a future uprade of...

Sorry, I already have a jebo on order. Should I return it and get an aqua c remora? Parts so far: Jebo 2003 skimmer with 528 gph powerhead mag-drive 9.5 return pump DIY overflow box with 1" bulkhead and dursa standpipe. SCWD with 2 u tube outflows 1 maxijet 900 powerhead 29 gallon aquarium for...

I found this fuge layout in "Plumbing 101" thread. Do you think this will work well for me? 29gallon sump/fuge dimensions 30"x12"x18"

In my 29 gallon sump/fuge should i divide it in 3 equal parts, 1 for skimmer, 1 for return pump, and 1 for fuge. Or should I make the compartments for skimmer and return pump just big enough to fit equipment in, and make the fuge as large as possible. I would like to keep heater in sump/fuge...

Is a strainer something I would buy as a strainer, or would it be a DIY'er. Do I want to have the outflows pushing water in front of Rockwork, or directly at it? Power head in just one lower front corner, or one in each lower front corner? Would maxi-jet 900 be ok? Should I drill a small hole...

Ahhh, I see. So I will go ahead and order the Mag 9.5 and a SCWD. What kind of screen should I use? Nylon? How, and where, would I install the screen in the return line? Also, where should the overflow box and outflow's be placed in the tank? How should the outflows be directed? I was...

So will the mag 9.5 be ok to use internally in the sump with the SWCD. I read an older thread from " steaveoutla " labeled "sump/fuge overflow and return pump" Here is a cut and paste of what you suggested. "Can you pop a bulkhead in the sump and go "external".... Then I'd suggest a...

20X shall be my goal! Ok I decided to go with a SWCD. I can't find a mag 9 the only thing I can find is a "Supreme Mag Drive 9.5" is this the one you were talking about? If I use this will the Mag 9.5 be able to handle the pressure the SWCD creates? The SWCD I am looking at is rated to handle...

I plan on having a couple of percula's and maybe a cardinal fish, goby's, blenny's, or jawfish. I haven't decided yet, the only fish I am sure of are the 2 percula's. I wan't to be able to have a variety of different coral and different invert's. Am not sure which ones yet but I don't want to...

So the skimmer should be rated at about 450 gph correct? Also how would I prevent critters from getting into the small specimen box? Did you attach your two boxes together or are they both just hanging on the tank with no modifications besides the angle cut on the small box? Would drilling...

I was planning on using 2 or 3 maxi-jet 900's what do think? Would 3 be to much? I have plan's for a DIY overflow box using 1 lee's speciman box and 1 lee's large speciman box. But I am concerned with what kind of gph it will have? The article did not state that. What do you think about...

Would this work well for a 38Gallon 36"x12.25"x20"? I would install a stand pipe on it. It is rated for 600GPH. It has a 1 inch bulkhead fitting included. I will have 60Lbs of LR, and a 2" sand bed using and aquarium calculator I come up with 29 gallons of water. Turned over 20X per hour will...

Is that sold as a plant light? Does it come with the fixture and everything? Or is it just a bulb? Thanks So much you have been very helpful!

So you don't supplement then? I think I will go for MH only for now. What kind of light will I need for a sump/ref?

What if I were to use a 15,000K bulb would I need to supplement then?

I am in the process of purchasing my lighting for my DIY canopy. I was going to buy 1 250 watt MH with 10,000K bulb. Do I need a p/c or vho fixture as well. I was told that you need to have the p/c or vho so it can replicate sunrise and sunset. Would having only a MH be harmful to my corals, and...
