I hope your previous 10k posts were more helpful than the one you just did. What I had asked was if anyone could recommend a reputable retailer. Google is how I found this site 8 years ago. And yes I did use Google to find several different shops that sell aquariums and j wanted to get member...

All, I am looking to get back into the Saltwater hobby after taking a few years off. I am looking to purchase a 92 gallon corner tank, stand and canopy suitable for some decent lighting. Can anyone recommend a reputable retailer that will ship? I can't remember if the forum rules allow replies...

This is by far one of the nicest setup's I have ever seen. My hat is off to you! You have done something that I think we have all dreamed of doing. I look forward to watching your tank grow!!

Everything is internal. The pump is actually in the same compartment of the sump as the return from the tank, so it takes the water directly as it comes from the tank. The water of course is really bubbly as it's full of air from the journey down from the tank. I can't remember the brand...

All, I have been having a problem with my reef devil skimmer ever since I got it (8 months ago). For whatever reason I cannot get it to foam consistently. Sometimes it will foam, but 90% of the time I just see the water moving within the cylinder. I have adjusted the water flow by using the...

All, We recently installed a calcium reactor and are trying to get it dialed in. My bubbles are around 50 in 60 seconds and I have a very, very light flow out of the output. The pH in the effulent water is 6.75. I've noticed though that my alkalinity is a bit high (between 14 and 15 DKH) so I...

Great pic! I did take some high density foam and place it around the pump. What a difference!!! Thank you all for the suggestions.

Originally Posted by acrylic51 They will hum and some are louder than others......The best you can do is try to insulate the pump off the bottom of the sump a bit......what type of plumbing are you using as well? Certain types of plumbing can magnify the hum or noise as well. Yeah, I think I...

Originally Posted by acrylic51 I take it your running a submersible pump? What kind of pump? The pump might hum which is normal for a pump to have a hum, but when you say vibration I'm picturing it vibrating up and down or moving violently.......Can you actually see it move? It's a MagFlow...

All, In my ongoing paranoia of having our sump glass crack again, I am concerned that the vibration from our return pump in our sump may be too much for the glass to handle. I have placed some clear rubbed tubes underneath the pump, but the vibration is still pretty strong. By strong, I am...

Just wondering if my concerns are valid. I haven't put the hood on the tank yet as I am waiting to hear from you all as to whether or not this will change the pressure placed on the glass of the tank at all. Thanks!

Here are some pictures to explain what I am doing. I went ahead and mounted the wood to the hood.

All, We have MH lights installed into our hood and I need to boost them about another inch or so off the water. I'm thinking the easiest way to do this is to put a 1" x 1/2" piece of wood on the bottom inserts of the hood (the inserts sit on the tank to keep it from sliding off) and lifting it...

Cool, thanks for the input. Could I get the site as well? wintrmte@gmail.com

Here is a picture.

All, We've got our MH lights installed and am wondering if the lights are too close to the middle glass inserts on top of the tank.. We've got plenty of ventillation setup (two bathroom vent fans converted into hood fans) so it's pushing the air from both lights. The glass gets very warm...
