I love the design too Tim, I'm just trying to cheat and alter it to match the circumstances I have.

.357 I have an anti-siphon hole drilled in my return line (HOB) so drainage back to the sump can be easily accounted for.

I'm working with free stuff. I've got the overflow handled with my existing plumbing. The skimmer is the tall badly drawn item in the right hand intake chamber. The black line into the fuge chamber is a water line from a small pump in the intake chamber as well. The intake and return rate...

I have a 55 gallon glass tank that I am considering converting to a sump/fuge. Any obvious concerns jump into mind?

Tim Thanks for the advice. As far as the plenum goes, I didn't find anything negative other than "pain in the -#$ to set up". I didn't find any negatives in terms of water chemistry, etc. The setup I got was the exact design from two big aquacultured reef info sites who insist that it is a...

acrylic51 I'm gonna move the Rena to another setup. Should I wait to remove the bio balls? I've currently got approx. 130lbs of live rock in the tank. Do I need more before I remove the balls?

Tim, I'll be reading and reading some more thanks. The research so far on the plenum seems to be very mixed. Would it hurt to have it? I've gotta go through all of the equipment tonight to get the pump size and overflow size. If I used the 55 or both for sump/fuge, I'm guessing the wet/dry...

I have just acquired a 125 gallon glass tank and stand. The filters that came with it are: 1) AMiracle SR-400 (still need to identify the pump) 2) Rena Filstar XP-3 canister filter 3) TurboTwister 12X UV/sterilizer 4) Plenum setup I would like to set this up with a reef in mind. I...

Thanks for the info, I picked up the tank and equipment today so the adventure begins...

I'm picking up a 125 setup this weekend to do the very same thing. Can you give more details on how it went for you?

Do you still have any of your equipment left? Would you be willing to ship to NC?

I'm curious about your question regarding the type of adhesive. Did anyone ever say which was the best to use? I'd like to know as well.

I purchased some LR from my LFS about 3 weeks ago and among the various hitchhikers I have one that I can't identify. Three days ago some clear/white organism showed up all over the place. The largest is about 1/4" long. They look like little ghosts zooming around on the glass and rocks...

I'm gonna be building a 100gal tank out of a bunch of 3/8" Lexan that I got for free. I'm wondering if any of you have suggestions for the best tank safe adhesive. I'm sure someone's done it on here.

Great! Thanks, I know I got lucky the first time around and I won't do it twice. They are awesome rocks so I'll sit back and wait for it to happen.

I live by the ocean and have gathered various rocks formerly alive (I assume). They have decorated my LS/FO tank for some time. My question is if I put cured LR into the tank, would it eventually spread to the dead rock?

I have a 55gal LS set up which currently has no fish but a good cleaning crew (cbs, scarlet cleaner shrimp, hermits, snails) and two red serpent stars. My tank is well established and doing great but I will be moving in Feb. I need some advice on the best way to do this. Will I have to cycle...

My cbs hid in the rocks for about the first month or so and then slowly began to venture out. Now he's all over the place.

Three weeks ago I lost my flame angel and dilectus dottyback to an ich infestation after my roomate decided to "surprise me" with a pacific blue tang from LFS while I was out of town. I came back to find they had all died. I am waiting at least a month to introduce any fish back into the tank...

I have the same things on my glass and was looking for help here. Keep me posted if you find anything out.
