I had to clip this when I saw it. who knows? "K", refers to the color temperature of the light measured in oKelvin. A lower Kelvin rating indicates a warmer light source whose spectrum is more towards the yellow end. A higher Kelvin rating indicates a cooler source of lighting that emphasizes...

I can't no longer have the links I used, but here's one... http://saltaquarium.about.com/pets/s...Feggshell.html For about $10 you can pick up a great little book called "live sand secrets" by Bob Goemans. This book comes with clear directions and illustrations. hope these help - and good luck

I much prefer just the valve, as I think that would be cheaper, easier, and quieter. I was warned that this method would put unneccesary backpressure on the pump and cause it to run hotter - and wear out. :eek: I have also seen a succesful tee'd off version - and it seemed to work just fine.

I am in the process of building a wet/dry and I was told that I must put a tee on the return flow (back into the sump) with a valve on the end of it. This way you can adjust the flow back into your tank. (with anything else redirected back into the sump) hope this helps...

If you Tee the return (back into the sump) and add a valve, you can adjust the flow back into your tank. hope this helps...

How long should the tank cycle before these snails are added, and how many for a 125? I would assume I would first need some algae - should I wait 1 month?

I am planning to convert my 125gal to saltwater in a couple of weeks and am really interested in getting some predators. I've drilled the tank, constructed a 35gal wet/dry, and laid out a plenum. Amoungst my favorite fish...triggers, snappers, groupers, and angels. Are there any janitors that...
