Thanks! Maybe I can skip the Blue Reef Chromis (x3) but the top half of the tank will be a bit bare. I appreciate the offer however and once I get control of my parameters I just may take you up on that.

Thanks so much! I have already received some great advice on LED lighting which will come in handy if I go hardcore SPS. :encouragement: I am a total numb with RODI stuff so I appreciate your suggestion. I am adding 25 feet to my modest setup but I will revert back to the standard 10 foot...

The 55 gallon reef tank is coming together. The tank was purchased from Tropiquarium almost two months ago at which time I ordered the stand. During my wait for the stand to be built I went ahead and took the risk on building a DIY sump. I was not sure it would fit but I could not pass up the...

Great feedback but I am not sure about hanging LED's since I do not have a canopy. I have seen 3 watt LED lights that are tank mounted and cheap (Green Element EVO) but they tend to have the disco look to them and are not as powerful.

Scored a 29 gallon tank to make a sump at the dollar a gallon sale at Petco the other day. Now I am building a new sump for my 55 gallon REEF tank.

Thanks for the feedback. It looks like I would need a rail kit for these.

Interesting choice since I do not have a full canopy these could work but they do not appear dimmable. Thanks.

Hello NJRC, Looking at the options available for an LED light to support a FOWLR (Soft Coral) tank. I have narrowed down my options to three choices. Features I am looking for include a low profile tank mount, dimmable and moonlight capability for a reasonable price (< $300.00) range. I...

thanks Thanks for the feedback. I would expect around 300-400 GPH with the MAG-5 at ~4.5' head height. I have heard that high flow in the sump is not necessarily the best option unless you are relaying on the return to be a major source of flow in the tank. The idea being that sump dwell...

Greetings NJRC, Your help in planning the connection of the sump for my 55g RR tank would be appreciated. First I would like to start by sharing my thoughts on pluming. I would like to glue the bottom of the overflow/return pipes in the tank and dry fit the top vs. a complete dry fit as some...

Hello, as a long time fish keeper of fresh water fish and some fish only saltwater experience I have found myself reading more about reef keeping. It is exciting to see how much interest has developed recently in this area of the hobby. The availability of reef saver, aquacultured and tank...
