What I was thinking... Just overcame big hurdle.. five days on vacation with the tank on "automatic". Returned with everything in fine shape. I have an 'order' into my LFS for a large piece of LR. I have a spot in mind, with some minor rearrangement of the existing rocks. Speaking of which...

I didn't realize there was a controversy here. If someone's idea was swiped, sounds like some sort of Intellectual Property infringement.... Being a total Newbie, I didn't know the difference, but what I have works really well

Returned from vacation, and the 'drip' method to keep the refugium water level right, and the automatic feeder both worked like a charm

We've determined we have the same tank, but my overflow assembly does not look like your picture. I did a web search to try to find the 'exploded view' diagram of my installation but could not find it. The overflow "drain" on mine begins (at the tank bottom) with the bulk head fitting. Into...

I started to do research on a pump, but when my LFS came up with prices that actually beat the internet, I just let her sell me the pump they had in the store. I'm not even sure what the brand is... probably a mistake, but she said they had very good luck with them (she hasn't steered me wrong...

The aquarium is an All Glass 75 with overflow Dimensions : 48x18x20

I am leaving my tank for the first time this Christmas and have the same concerns. I bought an automatic feeder to take care of food, and regarding make up water, here is what I'm doing. I have a tall, thin tupperware container. I use this for mixing my make up water on a regular basis. Over...

I see why you were asking about the plant life in my tank. I think the calupera will work for you. It will take on the look of a miniature kelp bed (from what I understand). Mine has grown to a length of about 4-5" high. I don't know if it will grow taller or not, I haven't given it enough...

First off, thanks for the comments and compliments.. I just got back online so I'll anwer a few questions. The base is indeed a sink base cabinet. I bought two at Lowes as a matching set on either side of a fireplace. (I don't use the fireplace so heat from there is not an issue). For the...

Got it... well I mean I understand.. Only time will tell whether I've 'GOT' it or not.... Reading various posts here just reconfirms that we are 'nudging' ecosystems here... not like putting your foot on the gas to go, and brake to stop. I'm lucky to have a very good 'consultant' at my LFS.

Didn't mean there were negative values.... most items I realize are Parts Per (depends). Ph, is a logarithmic scale, SG is a relative density compared to pure water... got all that.... I think the 'stabilized "good" readings' is what I am trying to drive to more details. I measure ammonia...

I often see the requirement for certain critters (including fish) is "Pristine Conditions". What is the definition of "Pristine"? I'm guessing this is different from one type of life than another, but is there a general set of water conditions to shoot for beyond "0" Ammonia, Nitrites...
