cool, you guys work for radio stations! what kind? talk, music, npr, conservative talk?

thanks for the advice. with one spray bar low in the tank, i don't think i'd have power outage problems as long as i drilled a hole in the tubing near the surface which would break the siphon in the event of an outage. i'm not sure what the problem would be with the skimmer in the sump...

so is my 1200 going to be too much? what if i also use that pump to run my skimmer in the sump? also, i could have a spraybar at the top of the display tank for surface aggitation, and a spraybar closer to the bottom to stir up waste. would those be feasible ways of breaking up all that pump...

but i am going to have a lifereef dual overflow rated at like 1400 gph, and the sump/refuge setup is like this. they are separate, with the sump return feeding the refuge, controlled by a ball valve, and the remainder of the return going to the tank. the refuge will then drain into the sump...

i purchased a magdrive 1200, that should be adequate to both return to tank and refugium, right?

soon, they'll have sumped/refuged water.

another.

files were too big.

I found these at HD. They are much more sturdy than rubbermaids, so I don't think they would need reinforcing, as in broomers plans. Please tell me what you think. They are 12 gallon, semi-transparent. They seem very sturdy; it's even hard to make them bow with physical force, as opposed to...

broomer, if i elect to go with one pump running 24/7, do i just stick with the 950, or move up to the 1200 or something bigger? ben

So I should be able to find most everything at the local HD? If so that is great news. Looks like I'll be going on a shopping spree today. ben

Thank you so much, broomer. Since you won't take my money, I'll post pics of my progress once I get everything together. Thanks again. ben

Hello broomer, I've been admiring your site and now want to duplicate your entire sump/refuge setup, except for the timed spraybar. I've already ordered the lifereef overflow and both magdrives, and i've got the rubbermaids and heaters. Basically, could you post or email me a list of all the...

What return pump brand would you recommend, and what gph if i go with the lifereef 700 gph? thanks. ben

Heyoo, thanks for the advice. my tank is already established and has been up and running for about 2 years. my current filtration is a dsb, live rock, skimmer, and emperor 400. i've had problems with nitrates since the beginning, hence the sump idea. that and the fact that it would be nice...

I need help. I have a 90 fowlr/ls aggressive, and I am going to add a hob overflow and sump. I will probably use a 30-40 gallon tank for the sump, but my questions are with the overflow and return pump. 1. how many gph should my overflow be? (i'm considerind a cpr model) 2. how many gph...

did you get the rock from that tampa bay live rock site? if so, was it the decorator rock, coral rock, or keys rock? thanks. ben
