ecosystem 3612 please dont buy one...make your own...i got mine with my system for an extremely discounted price....my opinion anyone who is willing to pay $800 on a filter is a fool. You can make the same thing out of a 30 gallon tank for like $120 (thinking high) ...only thing that will cost...

I have a catalog and I saw a water pump called Gen-x. It says its the highest quality , QUIET, no maintenance. Just curious if anyone has used it or if you can recommend what I should get for my 50 gallon 36 1/2" wide tank.. Please help as I am going shopping for my birthday gift today... :joy...

Just wondering if I need to get both airpumps and powerheads for my tank. I am getting a 49 gallon tank with refugium. The DT is 36 1/2" wide and 15 depth. I am not sure what I would need for this. Can someone suggest something. Money is not an issue..so I would like to purchase the quietest...

I am going shopping today since it is my birthday present tomorrow. yay!!! I was looking at some sumps and being that I am not handy..I have to get a ready made one. I noticed something called the EcoSystem Filter sump kit. It says that it is a natural filtration system that does not require a...

Someone here was nice enough to suggest this skimmer..but I wanted to see if others have used it. It sounds simple to use and not too expensive at all. I am possibly going to get it for my 55 tank and put it in the sump.. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!! :joy: AquaC Urchin Pro Protein...

Originally Posted by TeresaQ1 to start, you will need the sand, rock, and sump. I dont know anything about those though.Sorry. you dont need to start the skimmer until after the tank is cycled. you will need the power heads for circulation. is the tank pre drilled, for the sump?? oh,you will...
