If you get bored you can read through my problem: http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=13021.0 I might just buy one tomorrow if the accountant will let me.

Thanks for the offer. Sorry I forgot to put that in there. I am 10 minutes from Delaware.

Rather than wasting bandwidth I posted the pics on my photobucket: http://photobucket.com/theguyfromnj I don't have a fan on the sump, the only fans are in the canopy and they have filters on them. I was using Reef Crystals, up until about 6 months ago, now I am using Oceanic. I usually keep...

I was thinking the same thing a long while ago, so I took out all the plumbing and replaced everything with hard plumbing, and replaced the return pump too. I also plugged the original siphon break on the return and drilled it lower. Also If I take a sample of water and put it in a glass and...

Thanks for the reply. The stuff is actually in the water column, not on the glass. I just tested the tank this morning and the levels are: Ca: 460 Alk:10dkh Mg: 1280 I just put up a post I am thinking about trying a diatom filter.

Anyone with a diatom filter that I can borrow for a couple of days? I am not sure if it is going to do what I need, so rather than buy one and never use it again, I would like to try it out. OR If someone has one for sale cheap. Thanks

Well I am back to trying to solve this again! (well still) I have been trying a few things and nothing I have tried has yet to work. I have adjusted the flow from 600gph to 7300gph but still no change. Last night I took a few gallons of water from the tank in a bucket and ran it through a 25...

LOL

thanks for all the help.

I found both of them before I posted. Is it as simple as adding all the loss together, or am I over thinking this? That means about 21' of loss. (might be why that mag 18 isn't cutting it)

I need to upgrade my return pump to accommodate a frag tank. How much pump do I need to: drive about 700gph up 5' and about 600gph up 4' and about 200gph up 4' Any pump suggestions? I have it setup so that out of the pump there is 3/4" hard PVC with 2 90's that feeds up to the display...

Terri & Ant, New upgrade looks great. But we all know this isn't the last upgrade.

I use that one also, no problems to speak of.

thanks for the offers, but I am south (Delaware bridge area). Hopefully someone from the south has one.

I have been dealing with this stuff suspending in my tank for too long, its too small to make out what it is but big enough to disrupt the appearance of the water, so I would like to see it under a microscope to try to identify it. Anyone in the south have one I can use? I can bring a water...

first pic was taken at sunset beach near cape may point. It is a cement ship that sank a long time ago. Also a popular beach to find cape may diamonds. (got all my gravel for my fw tank off that beach)

That condi is looking good!

Wait till black friday! I got my 42" LCD last year from Target for like $300. Crystal clear pic, and perfect size for my living room.

OK I am sold on the fact that it is detritus. Blowing off the rocks really thoroughly has me convinced. Now I just have to find a way to get it into the filter sock. There is still a ton of flow in the tank about 6600gph, aiming all different directions. Power heads are aimed at the bottom and...
