I am designing my sump/refuge and need to know a height for water depth of a in sump protein skimmer. Any recommendations? DT is 125g and looking to spend around $300.00. Sump is in the cabinet of the DT so I need a protein skimmer that isn't super tall.

I just received my eshopps overflow single tube model and of course there are no directions. My question is does anything hold the u-tube in place?

I'm still doing research on a sump/refuge. A couple times lately we have lost our electricity for about 15 minutes. If I was using the eshopps overflow and wasn't home when the power came back on would my DT flood from my return pump coming back on or would the overflow box start again when the...

Any advice on which one to get? It looks like the CPR has a height adjustment which might be good.

I've decided I'm going to buy a 40 gallon long and build it into a sump/refuge tank and put it in the stand of my 125g DT. I'm going with the 40g because of the dimensions to fit in the stand. My DT is not drilled. I need help picking out the overflow and return pump. I was looking at a Eshopp's...

I want to build a sump/refuge but I'm not sure I want to take my DT off the stand to sit the refuge down inside the stand. Does everyone have theirs inside their stand and if not where is it and is it in plain sight or hidden?

I have a HOB refugium with macroalgae but I would like to have my nitrates be lower so I have been investigating a refugium for inside my aquarium stand. My DT is 125g so I would need a decent size refug to make it worth while and it doesn't seem like I could fit it through the door opening in...

I have a fish, invert, live rock tank.(no corals) I test for: ammonia nitrites nitrates alkalinity ph temp. salinity Am I missing anything?

Where did it go? I found a bad link and don't know where to post it.

I have tiny white things appearing on glass and live rock. They are hard and scrape off glass hard. They are about a 1/16 inch in size and are shaped like a donut but don't quite connect to complete the full circle.

In another thread people were saying they could see ich cysts in their tank when it was fishless. What do the cysts look like?

how would you keep from contaminating each other. You could keep separate buckets, siphons, towels, etc., but what about your hands which may have to touch both tanks in a short amount of time?

So I am treating all my fish in a hospital tank. Can I just soak my nets, buckets, siphon, etc., in freshwater for an hour to kill any ich on them?
