The bigger the better... I think a 10g would be a bit small to fit everything in it but it would work. A 20g works well if there's room. You could buy a per-built one or build your own. I personally have always built my own. You can still run the canister filter... just make sure you...

Yah, a while back I got sidetracked with life... lol... so I resigned as a moderator, thanks for noticing :). I like this place to much to take away from it by being an inactive mod. There is a great group of mods here still though.

They run off of a siphon... but there is a Airlifter Vacuum Pump that can be hooked up to help prevent siphon breaks. A pump is placed in the sump/refuge under the tank to push water back to the tank. The only way you get a flood is if the siphon is broke when the pump continues to run... it...

The overflow pictured is a CPR. I personally like the U Tube style overflow much better but couldn't find a picture.

I know this is going to sound strange but try lowering your water level a bit. If you can get away from filtering the water before the refuge it would be better. Lowering the water level may make the bubbles surface before entering the refuge.

You will need a hang on overflow. The overflow will draw the water from the tank to the refuge which would be placed under the tank.

I don't see any reason it wouldn't work... but other manufacturers make 60" fixtures... or you could look into a canopy. I used to run 2-400w MHs w/ 2-110w VHOs over a 60" tank using a canopy.

Elevated phosphates will also hinder coralline growth...

Built in overflows are the way to go. If noise is a problem Stockman Stand Pipes will solve it.

A 55g with LR can handle a LOT more than a 12g. Meaning things such as molts will have little to no impact on the water quality. In addition the cleaners will be more abundant and should make short work of molts and anything else they can find to consume...

Flat worms... bad, bad, bad. I'll post a pic to be sure.

I'd test the water from the LFS. I agree with acrylic51 but that seems to me to be a dramatic difference... with the calcium being at 450ppm... unless there was an imbalance to begin with.

10-12 hours IMO... I like the way your lights come off and on bkvreef!! I run my PCs for 12 hours a day.

So you do not add anything?? how about water changes... what salt are you using?? Do you know the calcium and alkalinity readings of your newly mixed saltwater.

What does it read now that you added the sodium carbonate?

That's a nice sump!! A sock would help but I wouldn't filter the water before it enters the fuge. How long has it been set up??

What additives are you using?

Are they coming from small tubes? https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/show...91&postcount=3
