    My tank floods - power outage

    Need help, my tank floods into my sump everytime the power goes out. I can set up buckets as overflows (with PVC, like a sink) to cathc the 10 gallons or so that funnels out but its a lot of water. Are there any other ways to protect my carpet without the home-ade sump overflow catch?

    What's next??????????????????????????????

    yeah, what kind of lighting? Get a cleaning crew, this site is great for it. Let them get adjusted and then start adding anemones and polyps, then coral, clams, etc.

    Anyone have any luck with a nudibranch

    Mine likes to get as close as he can to the flow of the current and try to surf there as long as he can, like a dog with its head out of the window.

    which would you go with?

    2X250 Halide + 4X65W actinic + moon for a 75 gallon acrylic reef or 2X150 HQI + 2X96 actinic with moon? Is the first too much power or is there no such thing? Price difference is $150....

    What if I just use the legs and attach them to the custom case? Then air can flow through and it is 8-9 inches off the tank....would I still need to remove the covers?
