Aggie, What's that yellow tube, output back to your main tank? The easiest way is to tee off your input tube with a ball valve so that the bulk of the water goes into your sump and a small amount goes to your refugium. With the refugium slightly higher than the sump, the water will flow into the...

I have a 26gal system II. The major disadvantage is the loss of real estate in the tank. As long as you stick with the wet/dry system of the bioballs, its a nice tank. But if you want some other system like a sump or refugium, then its a problem. It has a chamber for an optional air-stone...

Thanks for the info. I'm going to try to find a replacement.

I've set up a small DIY refugium and used brass fittings to connect my tube. I couldn't find the right sizes in plastic. Am I going to have problems using brass?

I got my 36"144watt just last month and it's working pretty well. It was a little tricky preventing the wires from hitting and stopping the fans, but no big deal. I like it b/c its so compact and looks much better than the other's black rectangular boxs.

I'm currently using the Jungle Quick Dip test kit, but the nitrate range is too broad. I'd like to get one that reads from 0ppm to 20ppm or so. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I've been told frozen brine shrimp is basically crap as a food source. If you look on the label it has less than 5% protein, which seems REALLY low to have any nutritious value. Brine shrimp isn't my only source as food, but is it even worthwhile to use it? I've also been told it can be a...
