    Need GOOD in-sump skimmer

    I'm looking for a good in-sump skimmer for my 58 gal. that can be used on a possible 90 - 110 later. Please don't offer Red Sea Berlins, any hang-ons or Sea Clone quality skimmers. I've already wasted money on a used Berlin and the mods that were supposed to make it work (Mag 7 and Kent venturi)...

    Stand in progress!

    My 58 gal. stand is coming along nicely. I'm only working on it a little each evening, then moving over to resealing the tank. Here are the pics: Reefecentral Gallery The top is only sitting on there right now. It gets glued and screwed tonight. Any comments or ideas would be appreciated.

    DIY Stand this weekend

    I'm starting my custom stand for my 58 gal this weekend. I'm planning on using 2x4's for the frame and skin it with 1/4". Since this is a glass aquarium, is there any need for a plywood on the top? With a 36" span is there really a need for vertical supports in the middle? It sure would be...

    Dolphin Powerheads any good?

    I'm trying to decide between Mag-Drive and Dolphin powerheads for a closed loop and a return pump. I keep hearing about the heat the Mag-Drives create. Are the Dolphins just as bad? What about power consumption? I will need two Mag 9.5's or the Dolphin equivelant. TIA

    What do you think of these?

    Lights on ---- They make some pretty bold claims, like all the other ---- scams, but the light don't seem to bad. They claim 8255 lumens, 6500K and a CRI of 84. I have no idea what the CRI is, much less the lumens, but the 6500k sounds good:notsure:

    Live Sand Shelf Life

    First, let me congradulate everyone on an excellent forum. I've learned a lot just browsing the post. My question is the shelf life of live sand. I bought a 58 gal. which the original owner had LS and LR in it when I bought it. He drained the tank and put the LS (approx. 30lb.) in a bucket...
