All they really did on it.. they had closed loop system.. 3 drains, 2 returns.. they had the drains and returns hidding in the live rock. In the return lines they had 1-25 Watt UV sterilizer on one side, and a ocean clear canister through the other return line. This was driven by a little giant...

can I drill new holes and plug he old ones? the only problem I see with putting in an internal overflow is that there would be no hole in the top above the overflow box.

I think I will have to do without the protein skimmer, and stick with water changes.

All the holes are drilled at the bottom of the tank. It has 2 returns, and 3 drains spread out. The return nozzles sit at the bottem. I don't know if i can explain it any better.

It has 3 drains.. one in center towards the back Not wet/dry friendly. I think i loke the idea of going w/a HOB Skimmer w/closed like system. If i plug the holes, i have to drill 2 more in the back. Do you think i could do a HOB skimmer? _____________________________________________________ |...

I was thinking maybe I can get a HOB skimmer...but would it fit my tank.. being acrylic

I bought a 150 Gallon Acrylic aquarim 60X24X24.. There are 5 holes drilled in the bottom. I really prefer going with sumps, but now I realize this isn't realistic without risking backflow problems.. I also like the idea of the return lines blending in with the rocks.. I know that the sump setup...

crickets....

maybe try to get my salinity up closer to 1.025/35.. trying to avoid dumb mistakes.

I won't buy anymore until i switch over to the 150 gal.. I'm thinking maybe a contamination from 1 dying.. just wipped out everything else.. not sure why it didn't affect the fish.. I think I will get a ph stabilizer.. do anything to avoid cause i lost 5 corals.. not fun

1.023 ph 8.2 (was 7.8 one time so I had to add PH buffer) temp 83 (range 80-83) Amm 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 I am about to upgrade to a 150, and I plan on adding a CO2/ph stabilizer.. I just don't get why I would lose all my inverts. I tossed out the first 10 or so gallons from my RO. I'm mixing...

I am puzzled by a problem with my reef setup. The tank is a 75 gal w/85 lbs live rock.. established about 7 months ago. Well... I went to a RO system.. and as soon as I changed over, all of my inverts started dying.. I mean EVERYTHING.. starfish, corals, snails... I'm trying to figure it out.. I...

The tank is well established, I don't know why you would have to start over completely.. just do a 50% change over the next couple weeks.. go out and get better skimmer rated double for your tank capacity.. using a skimmer rated 65 on a 72 is not the greatest idea if you depend on it..I recently...

I use a hydrometer temp until i got my refractometer.. it's far more accurate, and even you agree how important it is to be consistant with the readings.. it would also be good if you are keeping corals to concentrate more on Salinity not just SG.. salinity should be at 35 for corals

you run a sump?

what size is the tank?
