I glued mine. I got my 45's at home depot. If you can't find them, I'll send you a few of you pay for the cost.

Just how many 90 degree elbows are there? I used 2 45 degree bends to spread out the curve and it really seemed to help.

Selling the live rock?

I love my seaclone. It's silent, and super effective. It pulls out all kinds of junk. I'd say get the seaclone 150. I've got the 100 on my 40, but wouldn't put it on anything larger than a 55.

Thanks. Right now they are both in quarintine but seem to get along fine as long as the yellow tang doesn't get to close, then it's just a little rear fin rubbing. The purple tang as a mild case of hlle, but I'm hoping it heals in a few weeks. I picked him up from the lfs for $25, a deal I...

Any problems with a medium yellow tang and a large purple tang in the same tank?

I run 1/2 in tubing from the outlets to the side about an inch from the water surface. It helped me. I cant post a pic, but I can email it to you if you want.

the gurgluing? Or will the back preassure effect performance?

Thanks lordofthereef. I figured that out latter that evening, but it's nice to know that someone else knew. How do you have the outlets ran on yours?

Just got a berlin turbo skimmer today. I hooked it up in the tub to rinse it out, (and figure it out), but couldn't event get a cyclone to form. I know it takes a week or so for foam to generate (yes I know it won't produce skimate in a bathtub), but I should at least get a cyclone of...

This might help. It's a comparison of a few big dog skimmers. http://www.thereefweb.com/skimmer_comparison.htm

3" can be ok with a light bioload and good skimmer. I don't know what kind of bio load sharks produce, but if they are like any other aggressive fish, they are messy and in-efficient eaters; which makes for a heavy bio load. A good skimmer can make up for the lack of a deeper sand bed (more...

Good point alti. Soultion: get more sand and use RO water. Sorry ryane, looks like you need to spend a few more dollars on equipment. FYI theres a guy on ---- who sells a 100gpd 5 stage for 185 shipped. email me if you interested and I'll give you his id.

they were off the scale until I stopped messing with it. I left the tank alone for a few weeks, cut back on the feeding and they went down to almost nothing. I really think it was the"diet" I put them on that reduced them the most. If he keeps doing water changes with toxic water, he'll get...

Just FYI. I haven't done a water change in 6 months and everybody is happy as can be.

WOW, I never even looked at the original post date!! Opps. lol

the alge was from the phosphates in the water. Just fyi

Um, well the lobster probraly died because of a ph fluctuation. Since you are using tap water, I would expect everything to die at this point. There are so many chemicals in tap water, you just never know what your getting when you turn the faucet. What you could do is run to Jewel or...

After that, install a ball valve on the drain line so you can control the flow coming into the sump.

I would definatly not do a water change that big. Nitrates won't kill them just make them a little stupid. I would be more concerned with the amonia. When you flushed out your wet/dry, you probraly killed some very important bacteria. Tangs are usually the first to die due to toxic water...
