Ok… ShaneV, Lutz493 asked if he could have both pipes together and release the water from the center together with the overflow. There is no problem with that but you need to consider some possibilities that something might go wrong. You can do this experiment to see if it will cause a problem...

I added two tangs to my 125, Powder Blue and Blue Hippo. I will add another powder blue and two yellow tangs in about two to three weeks. I’m planning on moving soon, so I will put them in the tank after all the moving is complete since the rocks will be moved around. I will add two false...

That it’s why I though of running the pipes through the middle because the LRs are usually placed on the middle. Your Goby might not be able to expose the pipes. Good Luck with your project!

If you want to run the returning water through the center, you can do it too. But slightly shorter than the overflow. About 2" or 3" shorter. You can even run the pipes on the back of the tank. That's both pipes. Then to the center. I really don't know which will work best. Look at this layout...

A prefilter is a must have. Placing a sponge in the cup will help prevent that from happening. The good thing about using silicon to seal the pipes is that you can cut it with a knife to replace the pipes then you can scrape the remaining silicon. Putting the rocks in a bucket (with water of...

I ordered 45lbs of uncured Fiji LR. After the curing process I went to the beach to collect base rocks. The rocks I collected are pieces that have been pushed to the shore by hurricanes and storms. They dry and they have no traces of life. I collected 45lbs for the bottom and I placed the Fiji...

This is a DIY Project. If you don't want to drill on the center, you then need to improvise. Tough crowd… but here is something I would do if I don’t want that acrylic box on one conner:

Hi, I know of a guy that has all tangs species in one tank. How does he do it? I don't know how do they stay alive? I don't know. But he wants to collect all species of tangs in one 75gl Tank! Can you believe that? WOW! Well, I have a 125gl (still cycling) tank measuring 6 feet long. I’m...

Here is what I would do: Disclaimer: Drill at your own risk. I should not be held responsible for any damage, bla bla, all actions you take with your tank if you decide to fallow this diagram, you are there for responsible for your own actions. Bla, bla… :o So! with no further delays, here it...

Because this setup is using a power filter to clean waste that are drained down from your tank. You can put two hang-on filters to suck in waste. The divider will prevent debris from moving to the skimmer section. The second divider will help keep any waste from crossing past the skimmer to the...

yup!

It depends on the filtration system you are planning to have. Wet/Dry or Berlin Sump A wet/dry filter will take space from your sump but not the Berlin method of filtration, which only uses a 100 micro filter sock. The wet/dry will limit space, so you will need a large sump when using a wet/dry...

If you see a tank with an overflow, look under the tank. You might find a refugium, sump, protein skimmer, canister filter, etc. The function of an overflow is to prevent these mentioned above from receiving too much water by controlling the water flow. Additionally it also controls how much...

Try to find out who charges less for shipping. Between UPS, DHL or regulars post offices mail. Next day, second day, priority mail, etc. As long you have the rocks well packed they will withstand a couple of days in the dark. Corralling algae will be the top survivor since they can even be out...

Yes it is. Make sure the weight from the rubber container won't add too much $$ to the cost of shipping. That's why distributors use foam... it's lighter. Rubber containers are good because they are resistant to shocks. Foam is good because it keeps either cold or heat (using heating bags)...

Nudis tend to cruse around your tank for two or three days and take a break. Then they try to go to the highest point and release themselves to be dragged by the current. They get cough on your filters and they easily break apart. When they are release in the water they release what I call “Web”...

It all depends on where are the rocks now. If the tank no longer exist, where are the LR now? If they are just sitting around exposed to air you will definitely have die off. If they placed the rocks on buckets filled with prepared water, then you won’t have much die off. How to ship, well this...

I use 15 Lettuce Nudibranch in my tank. I collect them near my home.

I'll email it
