    waterflow queston

    Hey sinister sorry I haven't gotten back with you yet. I would personally go with the mj mods over the seios. For one they are half the size, and another they have a better track record from my reading. I have had a couple seios and they either quite soon after purchase or one I had didn't...

    Flow through a DSB fuge ?'s

    Ok I am setting up a 220g tank. I will have a 75g sump/fuge and a 20g sump to hold the skimmer (in the prop tank stand). Does it actually hurt the denitrification process and/or phosphate removal by having fast flow? I want to just have a sump with the full 1700gph-head etc instead of...

    SPS Dominant tank: Skimmer?

    I disagree that a sand bed defeats the purpose of BB. The purpose of barebottom is to have a clean system. If you keep up the flow and the siphoning of detritus you will keep the main display free of crud, and having micron filters on the drains of to the sump, fuge etc you will keep most of...

    SPS Dominant tank: Skimmer?

    How much LR?

    I say get you about 300lbs of base rock and one or two boxes of live rock. With 1 or 2 boxes you will have enough beneficial bacteria to quickly inhabit the base rock, especially if you are adding sand. Save yourself some money.

    new tank

    You will need to either put in some dead krill, shrimp, or something that will decompose. I have even heard of actually pouring in a cup of your own pee??? I wouldn't recommend a damsel cause they are just a pain.

    Acrylic Aquarium

    Acrylic if by far clearer than glass, but if a small asternia star can get in between the mag-float and the acrylic and scratch it it's not for me. I have a 35 gallon acrylic frag tank that is awesome, but too touchy for my cleaning!

    Powerhead size

    SWAB if your putting talking about a 150g tank one of those on each end would be perfect pointed indirectly would really create so good flow. Personally I would recommend as much flow as possible w/o disturbing the sandbed. In my tank when all said and done around 12000gph in my upcoming...
