I still have questions. Do I drill the hole in the line...

The two inside lines come down from the tank, go through the sump and out the back of the sump to the pump (in blue). Then it goes up through the two outside lines to the bottom of the tank and up to the return lines (the ones with all the holes) inside the tank. The orange handle is a manual...

Well I wasn't home, but I imagine.... The power goes out. My tank starts draining into my sump below my tank and continues until it overlows the top of the sump tank. I am guessing that my set up use to have a check vaulve, that has apparently failed. I am interested in drilling a hole, as this...

Ok, I was just reading the label right off the pump. I beleive hp stands for Horse power. I realize that is a lot, but it works. The horse power should not effect the flooding since the electricity is off. So can you clarify where to drill the hole in the return line. Do I drill it below the...

My husband and I went off to work yesterday and the power went out while we were there. We came home to a low water level and a very wet floor. When we first bought this tank, fully set up and stocked, it seemed to have a stop mechanism to prevent overflow. The last few water changes I have had...

A few people posted, on a different message board, about commercially available shut offs. Does anyone have any suggestions for home made ones?

I have been working on getting my RO/DI unit out of my kitchen this weekend. It has been in there for about 10 months and is driving me mad!!!!! Anyway, I have moved the set up to the laundry room. Put a Y valve on the washing maching water line. Run a hose through the wall and to the auto shut...

He is beautiful! I have one myself and enjoy him very much. It looks like you also have a bubble coral and some brown zoos. I have those as well. Good luck with your new purchase!

Lomar, I love the seahorse! What else do you have in your tank and what specs?

We have a green nephthea that has been closed up for a few days. When we looked at it this morning it seems to have black rot or scum all over it and some of the arms have turned black. Does anyone know what this may be and how we can fix it.

I will check for bristle worms. It is in a medium flow area at the moment. As mentioned earlier, it was in a high flow the first day. I have added food to the tank for them, every other day. Is that about right? The additives I have on a drip at the back near the powerhead, the other clam is...

Oh right I left off the coral beauty angel, he came with the tank. I would not have bought him for a reef tank. I will do a water change tomorrow when my R/O water is ready

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Here is what the clam looks like currently and a full tank shot. The clam is at the bottom towards the right.

By the way, the white spots are coraline algae on the glass of the tank, not the clam.

Last weekend we moved our newly purchased reef aquarium to our home. The tank is a 120 gallon (4'x2'x2'), established reef system. 2- 400 watt metal halides, compact florescents, sump, 150lb live rock, etc. Prior to the move, the tank was set up for 9 months in that location and prior to that in...

Wow, I have been out of town for a few days, but it sounds like the discussion went on without me. So is the consensus that I should get smaller buckets, 5 gallon, vs. larger 50 gallon? That is a lot of buckets at least 24.... I plan on having new water mixed and ready to go at home. It is a...
