    Looking for a water flow primer.

    If someone's got one, could you direct me to a good thread that covers water flow. Laminar vs. tidal and how to achieve both. How to best apply a wavemaker. Any good easy way to sort of test out the pumps you wanna use outside your reef. And of course, answers all the questions I'll think up...

    My latest turf scrubber and sump in a built in cabinet.

    Well. There it is. I'm no photographer, as you see. This is my second turf scrubber. My first LED scrubber. You can see it up top there in the top cabinet.

    Help Please With Logic Resistant Algae

    I've got a chronic algae problem. I've been running a 90 gallon reef tank for better than 2 years now. At one time I had beaten the algae and the tank looked great, so I know it can be done. All and all, the tank seems pretty healthy. Too healthy, really. When I first put in the turf scrubber...
