oo and the drill bit for making the holes in the tank is pretty cheap. they will attach to any drill head. If you dont trust your skill with drilling the holes, then usually your LFS will most likely charge 15 to 20 bucks a hole. good luck!

is your sump just too loud? is it keepin you up at night? do you wish you can just shut it up? well I have an answer for all of your questions. check out the Silent & Fail-Safe Aquarium Overflow System. A fellow member of saltwaterfish showed me this link and I have recently finished this...

im getting the holes drilled into the tank today. I will post some pics of it after it is done. I think the holes will be an inch and a half though, rather than an inch wide. I think im going to get the three holes just like the pic shown above and two holes for the return. Man, Im going to...

ok. that makes a little more sense. I take it that the return does not go back into the calfo overflow. I will drill an additional hole right under the calfo overflow box and have the return go there. How does a refugium play into this procedure? The sump that I have on hold is a three...

yah def. getting a skimmer. Would it hurt at all to have my canister filter run into the display or is that too much filtration going on because I will be running a FOWLR. So the live rock will also help but not as much as it normally would because I am doing half live rock half dead rock.

opps just saw your explaination. thanks

great pic. Do you mind explaining why there are three valves as apposed to two? And what are your thoughts of my filtration prob.

I think my biggest problem as of right now, is the sump tank. I have the tank on hold right now at my LFS but the thing is, I have a canister filter which is a good one but usually for sump tanks, one would use a filter that is inside of it, in water. I want the sump tank for various items...

I just wanted to see if anyone out there had raised or is raising male sticklebacks. Sticklebacks show their aggression though the red belly of any intruding male will act as a sign stimulus that releases aggression for these males, I thought it was quite interesting that even if you might have...
