take it back.

i just set up a fuge for my 90. i used a 20 gal long tank and put baffles in it myself. i have heard mud is okay but my lfs wont sell it cause they dont tell you whats in it. i run a 15w compact bulp on a clamp light that fits and clamps right to the center brace under the stand. i ran the light...

sounds like we got an impulsive buyer. you need lights way before you buy coral and anemones. live rock in the tank would help. let the tank cycle first,throw in a few damsels and when a couple are floating you'll know the cycle is complete then take your time from there, your lfs will sell you...

forright now i'll go with the ties. just rearanged all the stuff under the tank and its looking alright. the hardest cords are for my lights there 20' long and its a pain to put them somewhere. my pops is an electrician and whe i can get him to do it, i will have him run seperate lines and...

okay so you put a tank by a wall outlet then you have a gazillion cords to hide, i cant stand this. try my best to hide the but it seems so sloppy. any ideas? thanks

your going to need a decent light fixture to get the coraline algea to grow on the live rock, thats what makes it "live". part of the biologicaol filtration process. you can go power compacts or mh. i have one of each and they are similar. the mh get the light deeper,are more expensive to...

been few weeks since i got this started. left the lights on 24/7. got some good growth in the fuge. put sand in two days ago.will run another 2 weeks then rocks and cheato. still haven't redone the under the stand part to get the c.s.s. under the stand but hey its just nice to have a good...

thx. just got the right tubing for my ovrflw. have some pvc i will use for the intake side of things,and to hold the sock. with size of my stand,90all glass, i dont know if i will have the width to accomadate the s.s. on the side of the fuge. i've measured but something always gets in the way...

i have a 55 and a 90 i use four leds per tank. looks great at night. 2 or 3 just wasn't enough for me. have mixed the whites w/ blues and that looks okay 2. gl

lfs did backwash calculations for me.as for the third baffle this setup is a temp.when i get the jist of it all then i'm going to have a custom acrylic one made buy a local shop. letting the silicone dry and will install when i get a chance. so is this"running fuge empty for a week or two" a...

figured i was on my own. so here is what i did. i took this tank 30x12x12 and put 4 baffles in it. each 117/8th x 9. the first and the last baffles are 4" from the end of the tank, room for return pump and the skimmer pump. using a super skimmer, got for free and put a rio 2500 on it. lfs gave...

starting a refugium for my 90. have a 29 gal glass tank for under the stand.i have seen some great designs here and believe that this is the right size for my tank. i have an external pump on my tank right now, but i'm wondering if it's safe to cut the glass near the bottom of this smaller...

well this is what things have progressed to! saltwater is too hard they said, you cant do it they said. well i'm not the best but man i love this stuff. plus i stayed at a holiday inn last night!

here she is! my pride and joy all set up.

sounds good see what i can do1

i put the bio balls in those sections,there is a drip tray on top with the floss. that black strip when hooked up just returns right back to the tank on the inside at the bottom on the oppisite side. either way its good flow yeah?

i dont have one but i was told that you run it when your tank light are off to keep to keep the ph in check, someone let me know if thats wrong. good luck

yeah its for a return, but if i dont have it hooked up it works in reverse. letting the water come in from the bottom and into the chamber where the return powerhead is. not sure what i want to do. either put a "t" from the powerhead and hook it up that way or let it go in reverse. maybe just...

here are some pics just finished setting it up. wow what fun. gonna let everybody chill for the night then i will do my rock work. enjoy the pics. post some more when i do the rocks up. using a mag 9 for the closed loop and threw my uv in there. got a built in skimmer running off of a rio 600...
