Is your setup new? As the salt ages it will improve some.

what is the best valve for flow regulation on a return line? There should be no direct regulation on the return line. That would put unnecessary back pressure on your pump. You control the flow by providing a branch off your return line that feeds back into the sump. A valve on that feedback...

Well the 60G is now completely dismantled. Decided to take this oportunity to make my aquarium 50% better and will be upgrading to a 90G. Currently working on the new stand and plumbing.

Can u explain ur rock wall process a little more? One of the keys is to use a lot of rock. The foam is really there just to attach the rock to the egg crate. So I put a light layer of foam on then placed the rock onto it. Because the rock is so purous you do not need much foam to get a strong...

So now for the bad news. Tank was running good for about 3 weeks. Cycle was nearing its end. And then I noticed some water on the stand. Checked everything for any sign of spillage, drips, or salt creep but found nothing. I put a paper towel to wick up the water and hoped it was just a 'burp'...

What is the red handled gate valve for Currently I use it for easy water changes. I could connect a PhosBan reactor or what not in the future.

Fill 'er up. Chose to use Reef Crystals for my salt. And the completed product. Using the Sunbright LED system. I don't have all the bulbs I want yet but they look great. The acrylic rod was seeded with coraline in my other tank and is now seeding this tank. The ottoman is for both equipment...

Since a 60g is tall yet narrow, I thought it would be rather difficult to stack rock very high without looking like the whole tank was rock. The solution? A foam wall. My first foam wall attempt was a huge ugly mess. I used egg crate as my foundation and split it into two sections so I could...

It is a very tight fit but it all goes in there. Added an American DJ switch for all the equipment. Even added a small exhaust fan to the side to keep down the moisture buildup. Now on to the DT. First step was to drill a hole for the overflow box. Now to put it all together to make sure it...

So two 10g tanks end to end would fit in the stand. One would be the sump the other the refugium. I just needed to connect them. Whoops! Never had that happen when cutting glass before. Thank goodness that was not my DT. This was my first layout of the system. Took it outside for a wet run and...

First step seemed obvious. I toyed around with the idea of using a canister filter but I really desired a sump and refugium. But how to fit one in that stand? I thought about a custom acrylic job but did not like the prices. A cheap 10g tank seemed like it would fit. After some comparison...

Hello Everyone. I enjoy reading others' build threads so I thought I would share my current reef build I had started earlier this year. Hopefully some useful learnings and enjoyment will come from it. This build is my second reef tank. The first is a 13g that I have never been too happy with so...

I have had both in my 15 so yours should be fine.
