    Sump question

    Befofre or after you look at CPR check out Lifereef's overflow. They are suppose to be A LOT better. If you call the company and speak to the owner (he answers the phone, weird right) he will tell you he loves CPR because everyone replaces the CPR with the Lifereef. Check it out.

    When you get it, how about after you put it all together, you send a pic. I'm curious how much of this stuff I didn't have to make. Yeah he is sending me a return pump too. He said he will be sending c-clamps, the flex hose, fittings for the pump and overflow and I ordered the silencer (just...

    Now what?

    OK got my refugium tank ready and the pump and overflow is on its way. Do I have to cycle this refugium tank? If so how long and what kind of process is it? Can you guys give me some pointers. Will be using LR and LS. Do I filter it for a few days before hooking it up? Let me know thanks.

    What size pump?

    I just ordered a Lifereef overflow and he suggested a Henri PS7 pump which puts out 500 gph at 4 ft. which is how high my floor to top of tank is. We will see.

    Diatoms and Hair Algae

    Ok, the tank has been up for about a month. Diatoms are not getting worse they are just not going away on the bed. It seems one area is worse than others but it is just not going away. It was pretty bad at one point but nothing that looked horrible. On top of the bed is hair algae too that...
