    eggcrate under LR

    plumbing 75 gal

    Looks good. But mag return pumps are very loud, take up alot of electricity, and just not very good pumps IMO. I would go with a eheim 1262 or ocean runner 3500. And I would put a T before the scwd that goes back to the sump with a ball valve so you can turn back the amount of water going into...

    What does my powder brown have?

    Not much new. Powder brown and tomini tang are still in QT doing great. I think I will move them over this weekend. Here are some updated pix. It seems so much harder to get good pictures then it was in my 75g that had VHOs.

    Best Calcium Buffer

    I would grab some kent super dkh to raise your dkh to around 8-12. When you raise that it will lower your calcium (cause it is a little high right now) and then use a two part solution (like b-ionic, two little fishies, ect, ect) to maintain calcium and dkh. I have tried almost ever two part out...
