Thanks guys, I did get the siphon going, but I couldn't get the whole wet/dry system to work properly. The guy I bought it from has the run of the mill wet/dry system that I seem to see a lot. The clear box with the round foam tube, one pipeline going from the box to the sump/bio balls under the...

Not going to lie, I feel somewhat overwhelmed. I'm having a hard time grasping the full concept of the wet dry, such as if the power goes out and the return pump stops working, how do you keep the sump from overflowing? Well, it doesn't matter right now because I can't get the siphon started. I...

Well, we were going to go after the 75 but the guy said he had two guys in a bidding war and they were up to $500. That's out of my league so were going to see the 55 in a bit. What should I look for? So, can I work with the 55? Is the wet dry filter under the stand sufficient filtration? My 29...

This is my first post here and I'm looking for some advice on an aquarium purchase. A few years ago I had 29G saltwater tank. I had clownfish, damsels, a couple tangs, a flame angel - some didn't make it and toward the end it was just the clownfish. That was in college. Now I'm married with a...
