    Stockman vs. Durso Standpipe

    I would recomend replacing that section of overflow piping w/ spa flex hose and get rid of the ball valve. (I don't see why you would want/need to restrict your overflow.) Then expirement with different size air holes. If the top of your durso uses a pvc cap, just buy several (very cheap) and...

    Kent Maxima Hi-S left sitting

    I moved back in November and had replaced all of my filters shortly before that except for the membrane. Since moving, I have not got around to hooking it up again and so it has just been sitting in the garage. My question is, can I use it again after running some water thru it, or do I need to...

    my new barebottom

    Thanks. I am thinking of getting a couple and I dont care for the look of the "hangers" that it shows come with them. How do you like the water movement it creates?

    Mag float scratches

    Has anyone ever had their Mag Float cleaning magnet scratch the glass? I do not get it in the substrate and I have looked closly at the velcro like material and it looks normal. I have had the magnet for about a year and just recently I have noticed these fine scratches in my glass. (Oceanic RR...

    water circulation in reef tank

    You don't think that would be a little much? That would be alot of GPH turning over.

    water circulation in reef tank

    My current set-up is an Oceanic 128 gal. RR. I use two Mag 9.5's as return pumps feeding custom spay bars. I am getting good movement, but I think it could be better and more random. I am looking at two options currently, which would you recommend? 1) A Tsunami Wavemaker w/ 3 Maxi 1200's...

    120 G

    I have a 128 gal. Oceanic RR that I had them do one overflow box in the center back. I houses two 1" overflow and two 3/4" return. I am very happy with it. Also with the center box, they did what they call "brick style", which means there is no bracing on the top of the tank.
