    Skimmer and Fluval 304?

    The first four months that I ran my tank I used a 304 and a skimmer my nitrates were always high. From what I understand if you change all the filter media you can use the 304 on a SW tank. I recently added a wet/dry filter to my 50G and noticed a HUGE reduction of detrious (SP?) on my live rock...

    ? About Setting Protein Skimmer

    What are the mods you can do? I have the same skimmer (yes I'm saving) it has been hit or miss for me when it works; it works great then I clean it and have to start setting it up all over again. As you can imagine it gets quite annoying.

    could someone clarify some things for me

    I just read the plumbing 101 thread and have a few questions. It says for a SPS reef tank you need 20X to 30X water flow does all that flow go through the sump? Do you need two pumps rated at 3000 GPH one for the skimmer and one for return to the tank? The chillers I have been looking at are...

    Beginner Filter Question?

    I use a fluval 304 on my 50 gal FOWLR I'm thinking on adding another one to the system to get more flow. I read somewhere I needed 275 GPH for fish and 450 GPH for a reef on my size tank. the same site quoted 675 GPH for reef and 413 for fish only on a 75 gal tank. hope this helps.

    Cost Of A 500 Gallon ????

    I know a site that custom makes glass tanks. For a 94"X36"X36" 540G glass tank that is not drilled and without overflows they want $4045.83. Same tank with an overflow in each corner is $4395.83. Shipping will cost a pretty penny also.
