So...I FINALLY finished my fuge after months of planning, and here are some pictures (before it was installed). Everything is now set up and running perfectly. I did the 'power-outage' test and have MORE than enough room for backwash. All-in-all, I am VERY please with how it came out. I even...

Where can you buy mylar? Does it come in strips?

Do I need to seal it with polyurethane (or something similar) after applying the flat white? If not: Won't that create a problem with moisture and salt creep?

Has anyone tried putting chrome metallic spray paint inside a canopy? See these 2 links: http://www.rustoleum.com/product.asp...ct_id=23&SBL=1 http://www.rustoleum.com/product.asp...ct_id=42&SBL=1 I was going to paint it white, but while at HD I noticed reflective chrome spraypaint, and...

Not yet. I have all the materials and just waiting for the time to cut the acrylic and make the teeth for the baffle going from the fuge to the return. I'm probably going to just 'wing it' with the teeth and try using a dremel or something else I can find around the garage... Ill let you know...

What brands are the ballast/bulb?

Thanks Jesse, I really appreciate your input. Just curious if anyone else has any other ideas? No disrespect to Jesse...I just know everyone has different experiences in this hobby and would love to hear from more people.

Also, If I want to decrease the volume in the fuge area, to allow for more backwash space, what's the best way to do that? I can make the length of the fuge section smaller, or I can make the baffle (going to the return area) shorter. Basically, what is a more desirable fuge: a TALL Fuge or a...

Sorry...I should have described my surrent system a little more: My overflow is set up at the moment with the 'pool' type plastic hose, which drain into my sump. Is there a way to "T" those hoses and then add a ball-valve? I didn't think that was an option... Can I switch the hoses to PVC with...

OK. The reason why I "T"-ed the return line instead of the overflow is because I wanted to reduce the flow in the refugium. I though that the flow in the refugium should be much less than what's running through the entire sump. If I "T" the overflow, then my refugium will get half the flow...

Well...I finally decided to build my refugium. I wanted to post my plans and get feedback on it. PLEASE tell me if anything I'm doing will not work or can be done better.I have a 75G display and the sump/fuge will be a standard 29G (20x12x18). Water enters in RIGHT chamber from overflow. This...

Sorry, I'm actually about to get rid of my own gold-banded maroon... How much for the 10 gal + sand + filter?

How much for the rock and/or sand? (prices if I buy both, and then if separate...)

29galkid, where are you located in Florida?

Does anyone know where I can get a good price on a large order of damsels (approximately 200). I live in Miami, Florida, but am willing to pay for shipping if the price is still good enough. I want to get a variety of the cheaper damsels (3-stripe, domino, yellow tail, etc.) Any phone numbers...

Lastly, here is a shot a day or two after the move from the old stand to the new one. Before it was just on one of those black iron stands, so this was definitely a major upgrade. You can’t really see the stand itself…it was dark. Also, I don’t know why the pic came out so blue – it’s not...

This is a picture with the doors open. Nothing too interesting. I did the whole inside with polyurethane and then put silicon on all the edges in an attempt to make it somewhat waterproof…although I’m not sure how well that worked.
