Yah its the way the picture looks to be honest with you as the yellow and hippo tangs can swin around in and out of the back through the cave as well through the right hand side of the setup through another cave/tunnel. The picture I took while sitting on my butt didnt do it justice. I...

Thanks I will check around and see what is what I suppose! Here are a couple pics of the setup! and here is the new sump...dont midn the mess!

What type of CF may you recommend by any chance? I was looking at a few before I decided to go with the sump...maybe one rated for 150-200G? What a pain I had installing the sump btw...I had to take almost all the water out and half of the live rocks, move the tank just enough to put the sump...

After a real busy Thursday night putting the sump and everything under my tank I have a curious question to ask. I removed my HOB Emperor 400 filtration system. I am just running the sump with a 200G ASM G2 protein skimmer. Does anyone use a filtration system with a reef tank besides the live...

Interesting...and i was just at lowes tonight for the 3/4 adapter for the hosing from the pump...I guess tomorrow i will head back and get a valve and see what i can do...i can tell you one thing..i learned the real quick way to set my sump high and low levels Nothing is ever easy with anything...

Ok so I bought an eshopps sump with mag9.5 pump, asm g2 skimmer and an eshopps pf800 overflow box...my issue is that when starting the system the pump is forcing more water out of the sump then whats being driven in. I guess I am at wits end here with 2 options...either downgrade the pump to a...

Being a newbie in this hobby I am currently using a HOB protein skimmer, filtration system etc and its a HUGE pain in the butt doing water changes etc for my 90G tank. Also I am getting microbubbles in the tank from the skimmer...just enough to annoy me but not enough to do harm in the tank. I...

Well with anemones I know they want crystal clear water...I have a 25G sump along with a 200G rated protein skimmer coming so that should help out big time with the water quality...down the rd I want to upgrade my lights to a HQI setup with T5s...but thats another $700 later

I purchased a LTA a week or so ago but traded it in for a bubble tip...needless to say all is well except that the bubble tip has positioned itself under a rock in a cave setting with only a little bit sticking out. Is that normal? I have read where it can be normal under brighter lights. I am...

So basically im just worried about the flow back and the 700 will be more then enough then...dont need it blasting out...just reading that you want the overflow and pump to match the gph...ive got 1 1200 and 1 1200 upgraded to 1600 powerhead running in the tank and im not having issues with...

Bump...just one question about the above and I think I am good... Should I go with a Mag 7 or 9.5 pump for this system? If I get either pump is there anything I need or is there anything to recommend for the system to install the pump? The Overflow is rated at 800GPH so the 700 is rated at...

Ok so I went into my LFS today to price out a Berlin type setup for my 90G Reef tank. I priced out the following at 30L X 14W and 14 3/4 H, overflow, tubing going into the system, tubing from the pump out, pump, protein skimmer and I am sure I am missing something here... Now they would instal...

Ill ask them today at my LFS about the tang more...Ive got a feeling he is but who knows. My friend deals with the same LFS as i do so we will see. Im going to invest in a new filtration system today for my tank so ill have time to ask. Another $500 down the tube but hey i need it instead of the...

The Tang is about 6-7in in a 90G tank...this morning I guess he has been swimming around a bit more nibbling off of the rock but he is still hanging out to one side of the tank...

Hmmm ok...thought so but hey figured I would ask as I have gotten some other great advice here..thanks!

Friend of mine purchased a yellow tang for his tank and I was curious as to why his tang is swimming up and down on the left side of his tank? He has a 90G just like mine and has had his for a bit now...I believe 6 months or so...not 100% sure. He has a yellow tang that he recently purchased...

Yah for you I can see the good buy you got for the 225g...way out of my budget but im a happy camper with my 90 so far. The 400-500 range you spent is almost a steal with the skimmer and all!

Im using the Bak-Pak 2 skimmer and that seems to work fine so far...I know the crap coming out looks...well like the crap that would be typical for a simmer... So far with my HOB my readings are good for water, the water clarity is pretty clear...unless my goby decides to go nuts with the sand...

Yes I saw that but there are no prices or a way to order online at all so I would imagine they only deal with people over the phone? Any idea on the cost associated with the setup?

I suppose with an overflow box and the wet/dry system, pump and all I would easily be looking at around $300 at the low end I would imagine? I was hoping to get into something decent for at most $300 but I guess nothing in this hobby is cheap right? I guess I will just need to talk to my LFS and...
