With all the reading I've been doing about people having small floods, I defiantly plan on garage testing it first! lol I was actually looking at the page you linked yesterday and planned on running to home depot for some PVC Beaslbob. As far as setting up separate sump/ref, I really don't...

I've got a couple spare tanks sitting around and have been thinking of converting one of them into a sump/ref, and I've got a few questions... The main one being, what should I do to achieve something that will work well, and not cost me my first born child? I've been looking at them at the LFS...

I've got most of it sucked out, gonna play with the powerheads tomorrow. Thanks for the useful info guys!

I was low on calcium, been keeping it around 460, just dosing as needed. My phosphates are reading 0, however I did move a power head, maybe I need to grab another one to put back in that area? I am probably guilty of overfeeding. lol

I did a 15-20% water change a few days ago and now I've got this purple stuff on my sand bed. I had been dosing my tank for coralline algae prior to the water change, and was hoping it could be that, but from what I've read and looked at I may not be so lucky. I'm about to mix up some more...

Ok, will give that a shot! Thanks for the info.

Just got back from a hike that turned into camping trip and tested all my parameters. Here's how things look: Ammonia, nitrate, nitrite and phosphates are at 0 PH 8.0 Salinity: 1.031 (it went up while I was gone) calcium: 460 Alk: 9 dKH It doesn't look like it has spread any, still about a 1/8...

I've just noticed a couple white spots on the purple areas of my liverock. I recently did a 10% water change due to an unhappy candy coral. Everything else in the tank is thriving since the water change. I have been putting purple tech in, and forgot last night, could that be the cause?

Thanks for the info! I never noticed the picture icon. I meant sand plumes from the goby swimming all over with mouthfulls of fine sand.

Also, how can you imbed pics into threads? I've tried to [/img} it, but it doesn't seem to like me.

Thanks for the info! So far I've only had the coral in for a week or two, but it seems to be doing well. I can't wait to see it in 6 months to a year! as far as mixing the substrate, I like the look it gives, plus I have a watchman goby in there that likes to play in both. Mainly it was in hopes...

As the title entails, I'm new to the saltwater world and have been doing lots of reading/researching for quite some time now. I've had freshwater tanks for 15+ years, and I've finally decided to take the plunge into saltwater! Plus my old boss challenged me to set one up on the money he was...
