    What do I use to clean out old FW tank before going to SW?

    I am getting ready to setup my 40High reef tank. I used it as a FW setup before, and I want to make sure it is good and clean before setting it up for SW. How, and what should I use to clean it out? Vinegar water? Thanks.

    How many moonlight led's should I use on my 40High?

    If I aim them into a reflector, should they be mounted hoizontally similar to the way a MH bulb sits in a retro kit. If I do this I might be blocking some of the light from my MH since the reflector on the MH takes up the entire 12" depth of my tank. Any suggestions on where I should place...

    Post pics of your canopy

    MH should be 10-12 inches from water, as far as fans go I would place one in each end blowing in and across water , and 2 in back blowing in and across water. Then have vent holes on the top of the canopy. Fans blowing out will not last long, they will corrode very quickly. Hot air will rise...

    Is 3 clowns to much for a 40High?

    I am starting a 40High reef tank with 29 gallon sump/fuge. I would like to have one false perc, and 2 black and whites, along with a royal gramma and maybe a cardinal. Would this be to many fish for my reef? Thanks

    I am in the process of finishing my canopy for my 40High reef tank. Tank dimensions are 36"x12.5"x18". How many moonlight led's should I use? I have 10 of them but I am afraid if I use all 10 it will be too much light for the critters. Here are the specs for the LED's I will be using: 4000...

    Squidd. Need your help on overflow box.

    I got my Mag 9.5 today, and there were no suction cup feet with it. Is it going to be really noisy if I set it directly on the bottom of sump/fuge? If so what would be the best solution? Also I am in the process of building my canopy to house my 250W MH. I have 2 fans with thermostats, I...

    Squidd. Need your help on overflow box.

    The picture I saw had a piece of tubing with 1 end attatched to a [hr] that was inserted into the top of the endcap, and the other end had the airvalve attatched. Must have been someone else's durso. Also I had a couple of questions regarding overflow U Tubes, outflow U tubes, and SWCD. 1...

    How much space should there be between MH bulb & Reflector?

    I bought it for $90.00 plus shipping, off of the famous auction site that sounds like GreenBay. New reflector and socket, with refurbished ballast inside a used housing. It came ready to plug in. Just type in metal halide in search bar on site, and sort by lowest price first.

    How much space should there be between MH bulb & Reflector?

    I purchased a 250W MH retrofit with 10,000K bulb. The reflector that came with it is gigantic to say the least. I was going to cut it down to modify it, and was wondering how much space should I have between bulb and reflector? It is a horizontal reflector, not the big round vertical one. I...

    Squidd. Need your help on overflow box.

    "Alrighty Then" all three side shall have teeth! Where can I get one of those fancy airvalves for durso stand pipe? What kind of glue did you use on the [hr] inserted into the endcap? What size [hr] and what kind of tubing did you use? 1/8" ID?

    Squidd. Need your help on overflow box.

    Would to many slots create a problem? If not I'll just put them on all three sides to begin with, then if needed make them larger. What do you suggest?

    Squidd. Need your help on overflow box.

    Ok, so the horizontal line will be pushed under the main tank with a 45 that makes more sense. I wasn't going to use the weir lip, I want to use teeth instead, like the pic of the overflow box with the holes, except I will use teeth instead of holes. Will I need the teeth on all three sides if...

    Squidd. Need your help on overflow box.

    My sump/fuge is going to be directly under the Main tank. I will need two 90deg elbows (1 90deg elbow to get pvc under tank, then one 90deg elbow to get pvc down into sump/fuge. This would mean that the water would have to flow through 3 90deg bends to reach sump and 3 90deg bends to reach fuge...
