I currently have an 80 gal tank. In it is 110 LR 110 LS. I have some Green Flower anemonies that are doing well. I would like to put T5 retrofit lights because of heat and noise issues with my MH setup. What would you guys recommend for a good retrofit setup with T5s? Thanks

Hello, I want to get some opinions on how I have my setup.' I have a 80 Gal DT and a 26 gal ref/sump. I am having problems with heat, sometimes tank hit 90 deg, so I have a chiller. Right now I have a HOB OFB that goes to my sump then a pump to the chiller and back into my DT. Is this OK? Ihave...

I was going to use a 600 gph overflow direct feed into the sump. Could you explain the "Berlin System"????? Also I have a chiller , not yet installed due to my MH lights, With a 600 ghp overflow, could I use a equivelent pump to go from the sump through the chllier and into the tank? Thanks

I have a 26 gal tank that I am turning into a sump for my 80 gal DT. Is there any rule on how big the fuge area should be? Mine is 11 inches. My skimmer area is 8 inches and the return are is 6 inches. Is this OK? :notsure: Oh ya. I still need another baffle for the return area.

I just received my chiller today. I am also going to start my 29 gal sump this weekend. My question is, can I have my water drain into the chiller then into the sump then use my Fluval 405 to push the water back to the DT? Does this make any sense? Here how I would like my sump to be..... Thanks

A pillow case. To me a little easier to pour into and pour out.

OK

Sure, I like the setup on this drawing and will probaly use it. I am going to pick up all the stuff probally on Tuesday. My chiller comes in on Friday so I will need to get plumbing for that as well and incorporate it into the sump. Call me.

Thanks

Hello...I have a 80 DT and want to put a 29 Gak sump/fuge. I found this drawing of a sump here on this forum and had a few questions. The orig drawing had 2 inlet and 2 oulet pipes, can I get away with 1 inlet and 1 oulet? And why is there a breakoff from the return pipe back into the fuge area...
