    In wall tanks, just a comment

    I really don't like in wall tanks. I enjoy being able to go look at a tank at different angles. Sure the in wall saves space and hides the ugly stuff. But I would rather be able to stare my angels down as they swim toward me from the side or look toward the backside where my trigger likes to...

    Protein skimmer help

    Brand new protein skimmer overflowing and the bubble adjustments make no difference. Will the length of the tubing make a difference, the return tube to my fuge is longer than the intake tube. Also the height of the return tube is slightly higher than the intake tube, does that make a difference?

    How to level a 8ft tank?

    Any ideas on how to level a tank that is 8ft long. It is going to sit on ceramic tile, ontop of a slab of concrete. Will simple shimmies work on one side or will that create pressure points on the stand? The stand is solid and built with plywood on the bottom.

    Anyone have info on the SunSeeker Ballast

    I am asking if anyone had or still has a SunSeeker VHO ballast. I would like to know quality issues. Does it compare to IceCap? The price is cheaper, but from what I can see it doesn't operate the same amount of watts or number of bulbs. But this would be my first upgrade out of regular...
