MBX, are you talking about the Turbelle Stream?

Looks awesome, Josh! See ya over "there".

Good tips. Thanks.

Most people here recommend 20-30x flow for a reef aquarium. Most seem to recommend Maxi Jet. Their biggest only puts out 295 gph. The MJ mod has been body slammed by some for noise and vibration...so, what are y'all doing? You're not putting 10 PHs around the aquarium are you?

Excellent! Thank you! Very helpful!

How are the baffles installed? Are they glass plates siliconed in place?

Thanks, Stanlalee. I've been waiting for a good explanation for quite a while. I understand Nightstalk's confusion. Maybe, I'll buck the system and do both. Won't that "make life easier" for the fuge? Nightstalk, did I just hijack your thread?

I hope I got this right. For a 150 gal tank, y'all recommend approx 3800 gph flow. Seems to me that would blow 20 lb. chunks of LR right out of the tank. Never seen that in action so I don't know. KPK, thanks again for the MJ Mod link. Just seems like it would be the equivalent of putting an...

I reckon that means you don't like the ASMs.

So many skimmer choices! I have a major league headache because of it. I've narrowed it down some. What would be your choice out of these 3? (150 gal reef) MRC MR-2 Precision Marine Bullet 2 ASM G-3 Please tell me why you made your choice. Thanx!

Fanker, 50/50 with the Aquatinics 72"?

Thanks. Great How-To!

Rynka, thanks for your help!

Is that a crack in the glass? 3rd pic and also the side view later.

K. Thanks. BTW, how do you "find" them? Do they live with you?

Thanks for your help. How do I ask Beth/Bangguy? An 8-bulb T5 is not enough? (a lot cheaper!) What size chiller?

I haven't started the tank yet. It's a 150 gal. that's going to be built into my wall once the house is complete. The house is being built now. It's a reef-ready tank. I'm just getting myself educated right now so, any help is appreciated. You can only pick up so much from books. Even the...

1. Are filters used with reef tanks? Can't seem to get a definite answer. Trickle, LR/LS only, etc.? Maybe it's just personal preference, huh? The LFS is pushing a wet/dry, BioBall setup. Sorry to ask, but I can't find $%^& with the site's search engine. 2. Why would I want a UV...
