I thought of a bigger u-tube since drainage wouldn't be an issue as well as trying to block off the light from hitting it. Both sound like excellent suggestions. Wanted to see if anyone outthere has dealt with the same problem. It was never an issue untill I upgraded my lighting and built a...

I have 3 hang on back overflow boxes on a 125. I am tired of cleaning out the u-tubes each month to keep them flowing properly and was wondering if anyone has come across the same problem. I know having a RR tank would more than solve my problem but at the current time I don't wan't to spend the...

Started with bio balls and it wasn't long before I pulled them out of the tank. Same problem that everyone mentioned with the nitrates.

My angel is still skitish when I approach the tank, he is also affraid of my hippo tang and me. I've never seen him go after the angel, but for the most part, if the hippo is moving fast my angel is hiding. Emporer first started grazing before he ate anything and I think the first thing I saw...

I would have to cry. Just a question, shouldn't the breaker in the fuse box trip? I've been shocked by outlets, but never anything that has been concentrated. Scarry to think that there is no letting go nomater how hard you try.

I had a post about an emperor angel. Got worried that he wouldn't eat for about a week. After that he only picked here and there, finally after two weeks he will eat just about anything. Flake, Frozen, Nori, and I even tried broccoli. Most of the posts told me it would just take time for him to...

If light is hitting them, as say in a refugium, wouldn't they become brittle over time? Just a question, I guess every material has it's drawbacks.

Very cool, nice sized upgrade from a 40g.

I have a coral beauty and an emporer in a 125. I know they are different types but they are fairly close in size at this point. Never had any problems with either going after the other one. My two clowns took a while to tolerate one another.

Re: New tank set-up Please check back for questions I have? Looks good, if you need more flow I would replace the 90's with 45's, overall nice setup.

Does the light penetrate like the MH. Way out of my price range, but if bulbs dont need replaced and 40% more efficient than it may pay for itself.

Read a post on Reef Sanctuary and said rule of thumb is about 30% of tank volume. I think the largest tank I can fit in a standard stand is a 55 so that would be perfect. I am worried about the extra volume in the 125 not having enough flow from only two overflows. Door in the side is a great...

Thinking of upgrading to a 180 AGA with the dual overflows and the standard stand. What is the largest glass aquarium that will fit within the standard tank stand. I currently have a 40 long under a 125 and was thinking of upgrading that as well. I think it is over kill, but I was also thinking...

Sorry to double post but I have the availability of them from marine depot. I sent an email and here is their reply. Hello, Thanks for your recent email. We will be carrying the Tunze 6045 but the last date I heard for availability on that item will be mid to late March. The Tunze 6055...

I have a 125 long and am finally going to shell out the money for a Tunze. I think I'm going with the nano stream for the fact that it comes with the mag holder, and has less flow. Any thoughts on holding off for the 6045 or should I go with two 6025's. I don't have a chiller so heat is a...

Don't know if it was mentioned, but make sure where your planning on putting a large tank it will support the weight. Just a thought.

I am currently using a standard stand. Not allowed to get anything new that is major untill I get a new house. Saving money stinks. :'(

Looks good, why did you rebuild it?

I cut my stand twice and it was still too short ::) Make sure you have the right tools for the job. I built my current hood with only a circular saw. It looks good from far away, but I know where all the imperfections are.

Seeing I have a WTB post on the Tunze, very interested in seeing how everything is working. Waiting to get paid this Friday and I was going to shell out my OverTime money. With the magnetic holder the tunze is around $160 on MarineDepot.
