Could this work? Any opinions on these? Or should i just go back to a HOB, but put it on the sump? Bermuda Aquatics BPS-3C CAPACITY 100-300 GAL/HR 300 INLET 3/4" OUTLET 1" CHAMBER DIAMETER 4.5" OVERALL HEIGHT 23" FOOTPRINT 7"X5" ADJUSTMENT 1" GATE VALVE RECOMMENDED PUMPS 700-900 gal/hr...

The Aqua C might work. Remember i only have an available 6 1/2" x 10 1/2' footprint for a skimmer. Will it handle a 75? Not familiar with it, does it come with its own pump?

I had previously asked for a HOB recommendation because i was using three canisters as my filtration on my 75g FO tank. After reading these forums i have decided to go with a wet/dry system. I have an 11 1/4" x 11 1/4" space in the sump to work with. I will be putting a mag drive in for my...

Can anyone recomend a good one? Where is the best place to get one? What make one better than the other? Is there a particular mfr./model that is better? You can PM me if necessary, i dont know the proper protocal for getting these answers.

I called the mfr. today. Basically it is rated for 500 gallons. It should have a flow rate of 450-1200 gph going through the UV. However when i told him it was going on a 75g he said if i had a 3x tank turnover rate i should be ok. So i hooked it up to the return of an XP4. I know they are rated...

Ok, just didnt know if i needed a specisl flow rate or anything. i know i had it on a much bigger planted discus tank a few years ago. I dont have much room for it under the cabinet as it is pretty big, but i am sure i can figure something out. The replacement bulb is about $60, ouch.

Thanks for the replies. Just figured i would ask. What would an ideal salinity in a fish only tank be? I have asked a few people and gotten all different answers. On another note, i am new to the forums and have seen where you cant do hypo and copper. Why is that? Just trying to learn. My last...

If hypo at 1.09 kills all parasites why cant you just keep your salinity there in a fish only tank? If not there, what is the lowest salinity you can keep your tank at? I would think that could eliminate alot of trouble in a fish only tank? Just a thought.

I have a 75g fish only tank. Was going through some supplies in the basement and found i have a coralife 36w UV. Went online and found it is rated for up to 500g. I know i need to change the bulb, but can i use it. I am running some canisters so i could put it inline on one of the returns. Any...

I have had my male 5" blue throat for a week and a half and i have yet to see him eat. Same here, swims out in the open and is by far the biggest fish in the tank. No one bothers him and i have tried about 11 foods including live ghost shrimp, just looks at them. Nothing yet but i figure he will...

How long should it take for a Blue Throat male to begin feeding? I have him about a week and still havent seen him feed on anything. All water parameters are perfect. He is housed in a 75 with a flame hawk, flagfin angel and Powder brown tang. All the other fish are feeding except him. He is...

I dont have any room under the tank in the living room. I have three canisters going and it doesnt leave any room for a sump. Thank you for the response. My LFS carries Coralife. Any opinions on these? What model would you recommend in those? Are they comparable to any you mentioned?

Anyone?

Currently nearing the end of my cycle on my 75g FO tank. Should start adding fish in a few days i hope. Currently running a 2028 Eheim canister, an XP4 Filstar canister, and a 2229 Eheim wet dry canister. Do i need a skimmer, and if i do which one is best? I assume i need a HOB as i have no...

OK, so this is what i am thinking. Let me know your thoughts and if i am overstocked, can add more, or need to change anything. Dwarf lionfish Marine betta Flame hawk (2)Banggai cardinal Dwarf angel Percula clown(or possibly some clown slightly larger) Fairy Wrasse(open to other wrasse...

They arent all going in the tank. Those are the fish I like. I was looking for suggestions in picking out a nice group from that list that would cohabitate nicely. Sorry if that wasnt clear in my original post.

How big do the fuzzzy dwarfs get? I was going for the Fu Man Chu because I didnt want him to eat the percula or a smaller wrasse?

I am currently cycling a fish only 75g and started putting together a list of fish which I like and could possibly go together. I am looking for a peaceful, colorful tank with fish of different sizes and shapes. It is being filtered by an XP4, Eheim 2028, and an Eheim 2217 wet dry. All comments...

I am setting up a 75g fish only tank. I am using an Filstar XP4, Eheim 2028, and an Eheim 2217 wet dry. Is that sufficient? Will it work properly? Also I purchased sand that was supossed to have the live bacteria in it and poured in a bottle of Bio Pure. I also just threw in a couple of cocktail...
