You probably had excessive nutrients in the system..and coupled with the more intense lighting...created the algea bloom. Do your water change again in a couple days...and reduce your light on period...then gradually increase the on period until you are at the number of hours you intend to run it.

Nitrate is a negatively charged ion and is the 3rd stage of a Nitrogen cycle...4th and last is the byproduct of consumed Nitrate, Nitrogen. Ammonia->Nitrite->Nitrate->Nitrogen

Lower your overflow...this will lower the level...if your cant lower it...you can cut the cut outs a little deeper...as far as what you said you would like to try...that doesnt work when you are using an overflow/sump setup...as mentioned...the water level difference will be in the sump...

My triggers have and constantly are stirring my sand up...they are real pigs when it comes to tank cleasiness...evidently products of poor upbringing...

Skilos...I saw a pic of the 6500k Iwasaki...and I liked the way it looked from the pic...it seemed to have quite a pleasing look. I hope the two together will look good.

The tank is 36 inches long, by 12" wide. Adding another VHO would be dependent upon how big the the MV will be. If I were able to add an additional VHO would that be another actinic Bang? And if this were the case, what corals could be kept under such an arrangement? As for the length. I am...

Nobody regenerates their resins?

If I built a setup for the Iwaski 250watt. 6500k light...and coupled it with a 95 watt VHO superactinic...would this be an adequate setup for a 45? Thanks in advance.

What kind of pressure are you looking to maintain at 6 foot? Dolphin is a good pump. The mags...I know everyone likes them...and I have a 7, but was dissappointed in its performance to lift water 4 feet or so...so I use it to replace water during water changes...

The M58 ballast is a 250 watt MH, standard probe start and some high pressure sodium lamps. So just match up the lighting information..and if the bulb requires a certain orientation..follow that as well. As for getting a can...you can always use a small like 2 circuit breaker box from HD or Lowes.

Do a search for Lagoonal reef...Bang Guy built a huge lagoon in his basement..anyways...he insulated it with styrofoam insulation...he has a pic of it too.

You know Kip..as a result of your Quest for True Actinic PC's...I put a 95watt VHO, URI Actinic on my 45 to augment the PC...next PC bulb will be straight 10k or somewhere around that. Thanks for the bulb info too Kip.

Crystal Sea.

You would contruct the entire thing out of PVC...you would make a U portion out of 2, 90 deg elbows... The size of the pump's output was to base the size of PVC to use...the Mag 7 has a 1/2" outlet..so use 1/2" PVC... As for the holes being drilled in different directions...this creates...

Dont worry about it...some people just are too quick to point and jump... Sorry about the link not working...yes it is a 4000 gallon tank...he built it into his basement...had 2, 100 gallon (i think 100) sumps, tons of halide's...it was pretty nice...he had a couple of pictures of him scuba...

PVC depending on size of your pumps output...a piece however long you want the bar to be...keeping in mind you will want some pressure coming from all the holes...a PVC cap for one end and elbows for the other to connect it to your return line... The bar itself...I have found it best to drill...

What he said above... The Tidepool works the same way as a U tube...the SOS has a cap with a ridgid airline in it to adjust for vacume to reduce the noise...similar to a Durso standpipe.

Go to www.mr4000.com see what he has to say...and check his tank out.

Because if they dont start complaining right away...they know we wont ever (which we probably dont anyways) finish our mess...or clean our mess...women are very wise indeed...I know my woman/master is...

Hope he doesnt bump into that rock too much.. :)
