hello?

What Euro-reef skimmer would you recommend on a 90 gallon reef ready tank with a 20 gallon sump filled 1/2 way so i would guess 100 gallons at this time with a refuge planned for the future?

any one?

are you there squidd?

If I placed another pump in the sump wouldn't it dry the sump up faster than the overflow would replenish it? The AGA overflow is supposedly rated for 600 gph if i had the 770 gph pump plus a 1000 something gph pump the sump would be sucked clean woudn't it?

what made you choose the squid OM over the 4 way what would you do in my situation? Also can you briefly tell me how the skimmer would be plumbed in and give me direction on what type would be good on my tank?

Okay so over the top was the other option but what about the risk of sucking in livestock, etc... If I put it in the overflow it would suck it dry. So where then? I'm going to either run the squid or 4 way from oceansmotions off of the lil giant 770 gph pump or on a new separate pump in a closed...

would it be better to run the second return line from the overflow directly into the sump or directly into the protein skimmer. I know how protien skimmers work and all but I've never seen one plumbed on a tank. If I ran a second pump within a closed loop system where would the intake on the...

no body?

I believe the AGA overflow is rated for 600 gph but My little giant external pump is flowing 770 gph. The line from the tank to the sump is 1 1/4" OD the line from the pump to the tank is 1" OD. So right now i am at 8.5X. If I run a closed loop system on the tank where would the best place for...

I'm looking into the oceansmotions squirt or 4-way system on my 90 Gallon AGA Tank. I want to do a double return on the overflow into the sump and run the oceansmotions off of the little giant 770 gph pump. I'm aiming for 20x turnover so what should I do? Replace the little giant with a bigger...

What would be an optimal turnover rate for a 90 gallon reef tank? I have a built in overflow. From my research it seems like 15X-20X a hour but that seems kinda high. :confused: Any insight?

Hello Everyone, I have a question reguarding a closed loop system on a 90 gallon reef tank. The tank is a AGA "Reef Ready" pre-drilled tank that is already plumbed with a sump and lil' giant return pump. I want to run a closed loop system on the tank because I dont like the look of powerheads in...

Well here are my options: 1) In tank Skimmer (I'm afraid of raising the heat temp or if it short circuits in tank) 2) Hang on Skimmer for Sump (Is it as effective?) 3)Refugium (Not sure How I will plumb it) 4)Both Skimmer and Refuge (Is this legal?)

Update :scared: Lemme Know what you think!

anybody?

http://my.win.psu.edu/dmp292/reef/sump.htm :scared: Finally the long awaited tank has arrived! It was overwelming at first but now I fully realize the potential of the tank. I"m so happy i spent the extra cash to get the matching pine stand and the reef ready tank. This tank however says...

Thank you for all of your suggestions and comments so far! I hope that we can all benefit each other by becoming e-friends on this board. Here are the details on my complete setup that I have written down and what I have pictured in my mind. By the End of this week: Have Tank Plumbed, running...

I'm not looking to put any "real" livestock in the tank until its fully matured and has a nice live rock setup with coralline. I will cycle with the damsels though. The tang will get shifted once the cycle is complete.
