Hi! My move this weekend went ok.... I got the new 75 all setup and performed my wet test. All appears fine. One thing I have noticed is that there is a surge of air shooting from the spa flex segment that leads to the sump. (Right side of sump/fuge in pic) It is cyclical every few seconds. I...

I have a few question regarding the plumbing below the display tank. I am working with a 75G AGA Megaflow with a DIY Durso. 1. In the diagram below, I am wondering...is the flow to the sump and the flow to the refuge going to be the same OR will the flow to the sump be greater? I am inquiring...

Hey All!! I'm in process of assembling my plumbing stuff. I am planning to use PVC and Vinyl ubing. Flow will be converted from PVC to Vinyl tubing via "Poly" Plastic adapters. While at Menards, I noticed that the Poly (plastic) adapters state that they are for "Cold water outdoor use only."...

Does anyone know how to determine the --- of niger triggers? I've heard that the length of the tail streamers may have something to do with it, but am wondering if anyone has a more definitive answer.

Can anyone tell me if there are certain lighting requirements for a Lettuce Slug? I am thinkin about putting one in my Refuge, which has a 20W 2300K bulb. Thanks!!!

A friend of mine wanted me to post this: How would a Picasso Trigger and a Coral Banded Shrimp get along? He said they have been fighting since introducing them together and is hoping they will get along? Any input?

Hi!! I'm workin on building my Durso standpipe.... On the Durso site, he suggests the use of Schedule 26 PVC pipe (thin wall PVC). I am unable to find this type of PVC anywhere!!! I have looked at HomeDepot, Menards, Ace, and several plumbing supply stores... No one has a clue where to get...

I would like to begin gathering materials for plumbing my 75 gallon AGA Megaflow tank. I have heard some nasty things about the Overflow Kits and would like to buy or do my own Durso. Problem is, the tank is not in yet. I am unsure of the height measurements for the overflow. I know the tank...

I just read another post that says you can use the clear silicone (used for glass on glass) to attach acrylic to glass....is this true? and is the bond as effective or strong enough for baffles in a fuge/sump? Cuz if so...AWESOME!!! tnx in advance

I am disassembling one of my tanks and plan to be selling the tank/equipment to a friend. Would I be able to save the crushed coral to give to him or would that be a bad idea? it may be a week or two before I am able to get it to him and I am afraid it could 'go bad.' Any opinions?

Its Official, my 75 Gallon upgrade is in process. I ordered the 75g AGA predrilled tank on Saturday. I'm gonna go with the Coralife Aqualight fixture. The overflow will be leading to a 20 gal sump/fuge. This will be split into 3 areas; the sump(/w Urchin skimmer), the fuge, and the return area...

Hi!! Just ordered an All Glass predrilled 75 Gallon tank with Megaflow. I was wondering if anyone would have any plans or know what 'pvc plumbing pieces' I could use to recreate the PVC Overflow and return pipes. I found the All-Glass diagram(on website) for the construction of the Megaflow...

Hi! Possibly going to upgrade my FOWLR to an All-Glass 65 or 72 Bow aquarium and have been looking into the Megaflow built-in overflow. This will be running to a 20 gallon tank that I am planning to setup as a Sump/Fuge. Does anyone have any input/comments/experience on this Megaflow system? I...
