In the reply box you will see a headliner to the left of what looks like a piece of film strip is a box hit that box and you will be able to add pics to your post from there. You may want to look into frozen food for your system.

Still trying for a clean shot of the clam. I moved the Acan to allow me a better vantage point for observation. The clam is a little larger than a pinky nail at this point. I check to see if it’s alive by flashing a light across its shell and watch for a response.

I don’t really know Al it’s in an area of good flow so it should get ample nourishment, we shall see BTW how goes it my friend

I have had this Acan for a number of years and all of a sudden it seems to have hosted a clam. If you look closely at the upper left fold of the Acan you can see a small living clam taking residence supplied by its host

Just a little tip line the inside of your canopy with reflective tape (home depot)

I will try to explain, but then again what the hell do I know. You turn off your return pump. Water drains back into your sump now let’s say your overflows are rated for 100 gph total. You have a return pump rated for 75 gph. Those 75 gph are added to your tank when you start the pump and...

Unsightly Algae is a never ending battle. Make sure when you scrape it off you remove it from your tank.

Nice tank IMO just bring the water needed to house the fish and corals if any during transfer, take water samples of the tank you are buying and match NEW water as close to those parameters as you can If the parameters of the purchased tank are not to your liking just dip acclimate the fish to...

Your excused it seems in your post number 12 you are agreeing with the op that the sump should be 40g which is the dimensions I gave your foot print of 13”X10” for a skimmer in a tank with a foot print of 36’X18” seems like there is some wiggle room and while we are at it there is also the...

We are talking about sump not a refug or wet dry trickles filter just a sump plain and simple. What equipment could you not fit into a 40g tank with a foot print of 36”X18” Quote: Originally Posted by acrylic51 That calculator made no sense to me, and have no clue where that formula dividing by...

The number you come up with is the amount of water that will flow back into your sump when the return pump is turned off. You adjust for water displacement via equipment and a margin of safety for overflow and you come up with a minimum size sump FOUND THIS INFO ON LINE The general rule of...

in Quote: @Florida- Thanks for clarifying. I was under the impression that the bigger the DT tank, a relatively bigger sump should be used. I was just unsure if there was a rule of thumb for determining sump size relative to DT size. I will be sure to leave ample room in the sump for power...

If you had to subject the fish to the coffee the only good hearted thing to do was to drop in a biscotti

The sump is merely a way of utilizing overflows, hiding equipment and adding filtration aids to your system. Larger sumps are more important to smaller size tanks as they add in the total volume of water in the system. In a tank your size you really only need room for the equipment you plan on...

Getting back to your original question, I use the rear end method. I stand next to each tank and take a picture. The tank that makes my but look the smallest is the one I buy

IMO they are not easy to keep and again IMO they must have laminar flow to survive
