    Using a sump with freshwater...

    If it's a wet/dry, I don't see why you couldn't use it as a filter. As for a regular sump, I have no idea. May I suggest Discus? They are gorgeous! :happyfish

    Favorite Cereal??

    Captain Crunch. But, I never eat it because it's so bad for me. I don't think I've had a bowl of it for about five years. Instead, I eat shredded wheat (yawn.)

    What did you do for Vday?

    I worked an 11 hour shift and then came home and worked on my algebra homework. I'm one of those rare women who really hate Valentine's Day because it's nothing but a PITA. Unfortunately my husband loves V. Day so I have to play along! :mad:

    What Do You Believe???!!!

    I believe that we crawled out of the ocean, looking much different than we do now, and evolved into what we are today. I'm not one of the ones who believes that we were created in any image.

    WTB 180 or larger set up in the midwest

    There is one around Peoria, IL.....it's advertised on http://www.tradinpost.com under "pet supplies." I don't know what it comes with but they are asking $1800, and it's been there for a while. Here is the actual text of the ad: "180 GALLON Complete salt tank. $1800; BO. 75 gallon complete fresh...

    DIY fuge water depth

    Great diagram, Squidd. Hubby & I have looked at it closely and we have decided to most likely change our plans to this type of fuge/sump. I had seen ones like it, but didn't know the purpose behind why they were made that way instead of the flow through design. I thought there wasn't a way to do...

    Even the yellow tang isn't suited for a 46 gallon.

    college students--do you not hate the price of textbooks?!?

    The price of textbooks is RIDICULOUS!! On top of the exorbitant prices that the bookstores charge, they change to "new editions" every few semesters to make sure that you don't save *too* much money by using an older book or getting one from a friend who had it the semester before. Please, tell...

    DIY fuge water depth

    Yeah, sorry about that, I noticed after I changed and saved the diagram that I didn't change the text portion. Oops...the last baffle would be an equal height. We absolutely won't tear apart the tank to build a sump/fuge. It's been established too long, and I have read threads about bracing the...

    Eli Jacob or Jonah Riley

    Well, I love the name Jonah but I'm not sure about Riley. This is going to sound funny, but we bought a Great Dane puppy once and I named him Eli. Obviously that means I like the name Eli very much, but I think it sounds very Amish...maybe because I live not too far from a large Amish community...

    AOL Instant Messenger profiles

    Does anyone know if there is a way that you can see the screen names of people who have viewed your AOL Instant Messenger profile? I have looked everywhere and don't see an option like this.

    DIY fuge water depth

    Okay, so like this then? I changed the first baffle to have the water flow over it, then under into the fuge and changed the height of the last baffle to be equal to the one in the fuge...

    DIY fuge water depth

    Due to the fact that the 55 gallon we have won't be able to fit under the established 125 DT, I am pretty sure that we can't route the sump/fuge like you describe in #1. The 55 gal. tank is going to have to sit beside the 125 on the floor, so we are going to have to plumb it with tubing/hoses (a...

    DIY fuge water depth

    We are in the process of building a sump/refugium out of a spare 55 gallon tank that we have. How high should the water level be in each compartment? We will be running it as sump first, then have two baffles, then into the refugium, then two more baffles, and then into the final compartment...
