    Thanks Mike - I am going to try to get them in their own tank and like you said really feed them good. And an urchin, any suggestions on them.

    My SWC 160 Protein Skimmer IS NOT WORKING

    Exactly two bulbs one on top of the other - I am also thinking of putting a 1/8 acrylic splash guard on the light in front of the reflectors, if it wasn't 11pm I would go build this right now. LOL

    Building sump in basement!

    I have a float on my my top off for my FW planted tank, I use a 10 gallon resevoir that gravity feeds the float, I agree with acrylics on don't use a line straight to the float. Should the float stick open the top off could go for hours straight from the RO. Sump is going to look great if you...

    My SWC 160 Protein Skimmer IS NOT WORKING

    I look at it as a natural way off cleaning our tanks. It is like the swamps and wetlands of the world, what do they do (besides breed mosquitos). I don't think it can hurt. On a side note I bought a few things so I can switch my AS to a 4 - 23 watt bulb system - of course I am going to draw...

    Thanks to Tanked!

    I have a 40 breeder that is tied in with my 65 reef (same sump) I too was think of going with an all damsel tank, I can't seem to get a good fuzzy dwarf up here in Canada.

    My SWC 160 Protein Skimmer IS NOT WORKING

    Hey Corey those are pretty cheap - considering we have to change them every three months, I am going to have to buy some on line - thanks for the link, I thought that 6500K was better for growing algae? LED would be sweet - I hate how much room the reflectors on the CFL's take up.

    415 Gallon Plywood Tank Build

    Hey, Shawn I haven't been around much today, my Dad is in the hospital, getting old. Eurbracing on the overflow is that going to be external to the overflow. Something like below. Anything else you need for the drawings?
