    Water flow causing sand dunes

    Reef flakes won't create clouds in the water column. I'm very happy with it and I learned the hard way like most of us. I went bre bottom until I found out about reef flakes. Went through a lot of headaches and unnecessary work before finding it. If you really want no movement you can sift out...

    Not really. I'm being told its the break in phase, not entirely sure but will just have to trust so. My issues now are micro bubbles but they are all coming from the skimmer. I ended up turning the return pump down 10% to help the bubbles pop. I'm going to hook up the reactor plumbing...

    I don't plan on using any lock lines on the CL. As far as the return pump, it's a water blaster 10000. It is the loudest item I have running. Which is much louder than my dart gold pump. Which leads me to what can I do to put under the pump and what can I wrap the PVC with to dampen the sound...

    Well the clock starts. It's 4 in the morning and I just got the salinity in line and added 60lbs of live sand to the fuge. There are a lot of issues to deal with but it will work out eventually. My skimmer isn't producing, my bean overflow is not that quiet , my flow in the sump is a lil...

    Well the tank is almost full. However I'm over pissed off with this outrageously expensive skimmer. There are no bubbles no directions and it seems like the pump isn't even doing anything. I'm pissed Its not plug in play that's for sure. I've been trying to find some reading but can't seem to...

    I know right I'm a little disappointed. Wait till the return pump kicks on. It will blow around for sure.

    Closed loop in action. Two leaks both at the pump because I didn't tighten them all the way down. There are two videos one with the top middle return off and the other with it on. I'm glad I decided to put a valve on the top middle return because I knew it was the path of least resistance I...

    The tank is done and filling up. I already put the sand and live rock in I used epoxy to hold the pieces together. I'm pretty happy with the outcome I finished the closed loop which I haven't tested for leaks yet but feel good about it. Everything is in place ready to be fired up which will...

    Why can't you just remove the lock lines and use the existing bulkheads?

    Don't worry about high jacking. It's all relative. I'm not sure on the size hole but I'm going with 1/4" I think. It should be right above the water line in the sump and in the display tank. It's something that you want to do at the very end to know you have everything else dialed in. Edat I...
