Hey Croc Hunter That looks like aptasia to me, why do you say that its not.

I use RO/DI only, but then again my water is kinda scary. I looked up the water content online and came up with a list of nice little additives already in my local water like aluminum, fluoride, uranium, copper, lead, chloride, maganese, sulfate, boron, calcium, chlorine, magnesium, phosphate &...

Clean and dry the area as best you can. Then put a piece of dry paper towel where you think the leak is. If the towel doesnt show any signs of water after about 5 mins. then you probably dont have a leak. As far as cleaning your overflow I used to rinse mine out every time I changed the...

Broomer, Thanks for the input, I didnt think about what would happen if one pump failed. If I connected the two systems above the water line with say some 1" PVC do you think that would be enough to prevent a major overflow. I could also place some kind of container that the Sumps would sit in...

That sounds a little high to me. If you have a good relationship with the sales person try talking them down, 30$ would be a fair price. If they wont lower the price try somewhere else.

Hi everybody, I am combining my 55gal fish and my 29gal reef into a 125 gal reef. I am planing on leaving the 29gal up for about a month so the 125 can cycle but Im not sure this is necessary. I will be using the live sand and live rock from both tanks and all the water from both systems. For...
