Yo Merv, I have access to a pipe bender if you need one to make your light rack. Just buy some 3/4 inch electrical conduit and bring it with you when you come pick the sump up and we'll bend it however you want. If you want to use it give me a heads up, i'll have to bring it home from work with...

I mounted my Velocity T4 to a small peice of plywood, then siliconed the plywood to the bottom of my stand. My silicone is about 1/4" thick. The silicone dampens the vibration and it also hold it in place. Steve

Welcome,,great looking tank Steve

You have a PM, anyone else want to post up pics of their tanks and what bulbs they are using?

My bulbs in my Current Nova T5 are getting old and I want to replace them with a better bulb. I see that many people are using the ATI bulbs. It is the four bulb fixture, what do you recommend I get for my actinics and daylight bulbs. I have a 150w 14k Hamilton Tech. over my Biocube and I like...

I am close to finishing my first large DIY project, but I am in a bit of a jam. 1. I plan on making my CO2 enter right before my pump, is this the correct place? 2. What type of fitting do I use to plum the CO2 line into my circulation line. On my auto top off I used 1/4 polyethelene tubing...

I was at Allquatics the other day and they had a OK selection. I have seen them fully stocked and I was pretty impressed. You can also try a place in somers point, i think its called pet center, they get some nice Rics in

Re: Maxima Clams for frags By the way im in Galloway(08205)...10 min outside AC

I have 2 clams in my BC29. One I've had for a year, the other 8 months. I just started a 33L and I am looking for frags. If anyone has any Ricordea or Zoo frags they want to trade let me know. Steve Here are a few pictures of the clams, for some reason the florescent blues have faded alittle...

As Merv said, I used the 700gph overflow kit on my 33L. I like it a lot. I is very quiet and the kit includes everything you need to install it, including the diamond wholesaw bit. It also has a very low profile so it doesn't get in the way. You can see pics of it in my build thread. Steve

In my last chamber of the sump i cut a piece of foam that the bubbles get caught in. I will post some new pictures of the sump with the foam installed. I am probably going to re-plumb the whole tank, the pump is getting pretty warm i think i do need bigger plumbing

Well, I was hoping that this want the case but I guess I'll re-plumb the whole tank. You live, you learn I guess.

Here is my build thread, you can see how my sump is set up. http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=12319.0 I can't see any micro bubbles being sucked into the pump, and all my plumbing is glued an teflon tape is used on all threaded joints. The first thing I...

Yes the bubbles are very small, like the size of bubbles inside a skimmer The pump I am using is a Velocity T4, it has a 1" hose barb for the intake and return. I then reduce the PVC to 3/4 for all my return plumbing and my manifold, Is this enough restriction to be causing cavitation. Im not...

I started to notice a lot of tiny bubbles being blown into my display tank from the returns. I have lockline on my returns that are exposed out of the water. Is there any way there could be a small gap in the pieces of lockline that is creating a venturi, Has anyone ever used lockline where it...

Your gonna want to get the 8 buld fixture. I had the 4 bulb on my 55 and I was limited with the coral I could put in the tank. 55 gallon tanks are hard to make reef tanks out of, the depth makes them hard to aquascape and it really forces you to get a very a powerful light. Steve

Finaly it is running! Here are some pics.... I still have to buy a fuge light and finish the stand....and add the skimmer, the list seems to go on and on ::)
