the 90lbs of LR that I already have is from TBS. i am aware of the hitchhikers that come on this rock, but in my opinion the rock is worth it. it is far superior than other LR i have seen.

not much progress on the tank lately. i am having micro bubble issues, so i have ordered a smaller mag drive. according to marc melev, the mag-18 i was using was way too strong for my set up and causing micro bubbles. he suggests 3-5 times the volume of the tank. i got the mag-7 (700 gph). i...

yeah i am going to run another line, i mean how hard can it be, righ?

there is nothing else on this circtuit besides the fishtank. the wires run directly from the the breaker panel to the outlet (no other outlets). it is a 15amp breaker. i would have to check each piece of equipment to tell you the watt/amp draw, and I do not have time today

i havent heard back from richard yet. spoke to last week to let him know in advance about my order, but he didnt say if he would be going diving for it not. yes i will be picking it up at newark airport.

I was thinking of running a second power line to my fish tank room. it dawned on me today that i sure do have a lot of stuff plugged into this one box (2 outlets per box). Although there are no other outlets piggy-backed off this one, i still think its a lot of equipment. then i started...

as far as the standpipes, i just drilled bigger holes in the end cap on top and drilled a couple small holes in the PVC pipe just above the water line in the sump. i had to raise the main pipe of one of my standpipes. it was about 4 inches from the top, but still sounded like a waterfall. now...

Progress report. Resolved the leaky bulkhead issue. turns out that the nut on bulkhead i bought from absolute fish was just a hair too big. got a new one from AO and put that problem to rest. yesterday i battled gurgling standpipes, a few moderations and i am good to good there as well. the...

I certainly would have traded this mishap for the mini-disaster I had on Monday- at least 25 gallons all over my basement carpet. Either way, that sucks that that happened. But like every other dumb thing that all of us do, we get through it! And try to convince our wives that its 'no big deal'

there is a fine line between getting a good deal and getting ripped off. Usually if a deal is too good to be true (like Aquatraders pricing) it usually is. I also think 'you get what you pay for'. ok thats enough corny cliche's from me for one post.

i drilled bigger holes in the end cap on the top of the standpipes. i also drilled a hole on the PVC pipe just above the waterline in the sump. problem solved.

i already have that page bookmarked. there is a FAQ page but the link to answer is not working- http://www.dursostandpipes.com/FAQ/tabid/55/Default.aspx Q1. Flushing Effect- Water Level Goes Up And Down!

Well I final won the battle against the leaky bulkheads, now on the the next issue. I have two overflows draining into my sump. i have DIY standpipes in each overflow. the PVC pipe that drains the water into the sump are below the water line in the sump. one overflow is making a sucking sound...

the sump & tank are already full. just trying to iron out a leaking bulkhead. although i know its not too late, i am not really too keen on the idea of moving the baffles at this point. i think i am just going to go with the ASM G-3 for the time being. I can get a used one for $170. This way I...

i dont. it is a 55g tank, so it is 48 inches long and 12.6 inches wide. it is partioned into the sections- 1st section is 13 inches was going to be where the skimmer went, also the where the overflows are piped to. second area is 22 inches, was supposed to be for the refugium. and the 3rd area...

like i said, the area in my sump is really limited the type of skimmer i get. i am thinking now that maybe i should forget about using the large part of the sump as a refugium and just put a bigger skimmer in that area. what do you guys think?

leaky bulkheads are kicking my arse today!

dont i need to actually have more than a tank full of water before I can start hosting meetings???

Yikes!

gotcha. i guess it is the same kind of bag used for carbon and stuff for a canister filter?
