    CRASH!!!!

    Glad everything's ok. Kind of disappointed by the lack of supermodel involvement in the story. Paul, you could've written that and we'd have believed it.

    Sump improvement

    I highly recommend Herbie style drain. It's completely quiet and no splashing of water into the sump. For dual overflow you can have one setup as Herbie and use the other for return + a second emergency drain. Use 3/4" for the siphon drain and 1" for emergency. I found bubble trap unnecessary...

    What is your favorite fish in your tank???

    Scopas tang. What an underrated fish! There are a few different color morphs. Mine is almost all dark blue and lighter toward the head. Not as aggressive as other Zebrasomas and the color is really striking when mixed with orange and red-colored fish in the tank.

    Lighting a 30in plus tank

    Sorry I though the tank is 20in long. ATI is good then. You can setup rock work so your high light corals are on top.

    Lighting a 30in plus tank

    I would go with LED's. Do you have a specific reason to setup a tank with that kind of dimensions? Seahorse comes to mind. Otherwise why not setup one that are easier to work with?

    Mystery coral

    This showed up on the bottom of the tank. Right now it's the siZe of a zoa polyp but it was smaller when I first noticed it. From what I can see it kind of like an acan. I have not added any coral for a while nor did I add any live rock. I have added a few emerald crabs. It's quite pretty and...

    Jumping into SW... Looking for advice/build critque

    Welcome abroad. You'll love SW for the endless frustrations. So don't expect to do everything right the first time then you'll be fine. Do get the parameters of the new SW from the LFS. Sometimes the numbers could be all over the place depending on the salt used. ATO is a must and Tunze is a...

    Questionss-Hoping to obtain input from SPS keepers

    Add nothing except alk and calc thru dosing. Light on 12 hours 7 hours peak. For PO4 and NO3 I shoot for undetectable levels however I have not yet achieved that. Still working on ramping up nutrient export. Algae is getting a little out of control right now. Run super-sized skimmer, refugium...

    Best way to protect hardwood floors

    Build a steel tube stand with removable panels. Reduce contact with floor and you can clean up as needed. Still damage with the hard to avoid. Also all in one tanks may be better for this.

    High End Frags

    Maybe start a high end frag trade thread is a more viable option. Trade only no sale. This encourages people to buy some high end corals. Quite difficult to define what High End is though.

    High End Frags

    I don't see how this will work with only one person growing out the frags. 6 months is a long time anything can happen even to the most experienced reefer. But I do like the idea. How about this: 1. After demonstrated the ability to successfully keep SPS for longer period of time, n people is...

    Finishing Basement, need advice before closing the walls up

    If you could avoid putting sump under tank. Much easier to work with otherwise. As Mike said have the auxiliary tanks planned out and plumbed so water change is just flipping a switch instead of running soft hoses.
