    Why I DONT buy from SWF.com

    They put the mods in charge. And I dont intend to use the boards anymore. Ill be happy at Reef Central, and Tidewater Reefers. I'm just amazed that they would let the mods go off and delete posts, especially posts that could bring a whole group of people to buy from their online store by showing...

    Why I DONT buy from SWF.com

    The moderation team here is way too overbearing and absurd. If they cant support Local Reef Clubs and contests that DONT affect them in any way, I cant buy here. Absurd, just because i posted about our local clubs contest for a new logo... shame on the moderators. Jasen

    refuge question for squidd

    I took like the return pump in the middle idea, thats how mine is setup, dont think id do it anyother way. Although i would NOT split the drain, i had done that originally and didnt like it at all. Id T the return pump and direct some to the fuge via a valve and then the rest to the tank via a...

    refuge question for squidd

    To be honest, id make the flow through the system only as much as the skimmer can do about 3X an hour. So if your skimmer does 300gph, id only do 100gph through the sump. Let powerheads or a closed loop move your water around. This way your skimmer is really good at getting the gunk out, and...

    Thinking about adding a sump/refuge questionss...

    I had a wetdry that i ended up adding a fuge to. I used an old marineland eclipse tank, put a bulkhead in the side, then plumbed it to the return section of my wet/dry. Then to get water to it, i put a T on my return pump one part going to a valve then to the tank, the other side to a valve then...

    Do you think this set up will work?

    Bioballs are a proven nitrate breeding ground unless you have someother means of transport. I had a constant level of nitrates in my tank for months. I cleaned the bioballs, and it went to zero. I finally ditched them, and have had perfect water chemistry since. The comment "unless you go reef"...

    Let There be LIGHT

    i have a Nova Extreme t5 light above the prop tank, i just got it a week ago, and i love it. They are cheap too, only $161 shipped from the big online petstore. You can see it on our club website at www.tidewater-reefers.org Under MY AQUARIUM section. Id highly recommend that one for a non...

    RO question

    The added backpressure from the bucket being higher than the RO unit will significanlty make it less effective. If you install the booster pump, it may help but i dont recommend it. I think you will have to replace the filters way more than most people with the setup. Id say do it the...

    refuge question for squidd

    Im not squidd, but i ahve a suggestion anyways. Make the return section and the intake/skimmer section just a little bigger than you need to fit the skimmer and return pump, this will maximize your fuge section and hence maximize the benefits of having it. The baffles should be about an inch...

    Halide height

    True, halides are a b1tch for heat. I got up to 90 with my 2X250s on my 75. And that was with the glass tops, with them off it only got to 86. With the chiller it hangs out at 78. I build my canopy completely enclosed, no open back, and 2 fans (one in and one out) if you are doing pendants or a...

    Let There be LIGHT

    If the anenome is at the top of the tank, and there is ALOT of Pcs maybe. The polyps like zoos and softies should be ok under some good PCs. Id personally recommend going with T-5s instead if you dont want to do halides. I have halides over my display and T5 over my propogation tank both do...

    Do you think this set up will work?

    Id suggest getting rid of the bioball area, its nothing but a nitrate factory unless you plan on flushing them out weekly. Id can-x the 10 gallon on top, have the drain go to a filter sock, and then do the rest like you have it --> Assuming 2 things, the main drain section on the left has a...
