Hi foxchase, I would probably not use the 10 gallon for a sump it is to small. Use your old 20 long it would be better and that’s even a bit small in my opinion but it will work. You said the tank is drilled on the bottom, does it have a built in overflow? If it doesn’t that’s a pretty...

I know a lot of really great reefs that are on auto water changes now. My question is if you still have to do that weekly and monthly maintenance don’t you get lazy and not do it? I am forced to stay up on my maintenance due to the fact I’m doing a weekly water change?

I have never used that. But I have always used dr Tim’s and know it makes a difference, I switched from my 40 to 120 and used half a bottle of dr Tim’s bacteria and things went ok. Here’s where it got interesting, 4 days later I got a ton of brown algae the next couple days there was a lot of...

Just like we talked about this morning Paulie. I kept blackfish in my tank at 78 degrees. And they are cold water fish and they were happy fat fish.

No unfortunately with not working at the moment he has no cash for the rent.

Couple shots of the tank today with a bunch of new additions from a great friend

Thanks, It will get there eventually.

You know Ju there are certain things that you just can’t do without.

I can make 9 gallons for $20

Ohhhh yea that’s what I want to hear

I like the lawnmower blenny dragons breath is usually not as aggressive as cheato in removing nutrients.

Sorry I said test strips but I meant tests in general. I think what your seeing is just a normal event and I wouldn’t worry to much. I think 72 is a bit cool for your water. It’s gonna be really hard to keep that temp consistent in summer months. I try to keep my tanks between 76 and 78...

Paulie how old is this tank? I think it’s just going through the motions. your Alk is a bit low but you don’t have any sps so I wouldn’t worry to much. Get it moving up but it isn’t the end of the world. If I could give you one bit of advise it would be to stop testing every day!!!!! Chasing...

Seems to do the job. Gonna try it in a couple different areas and flow levels and see what works best. how long have you had them?

Color doesn’t mean anything just what they had. But yes I have flow control over the returns that way. My manifold has no valve for return so I put one on each return. And yes they both come from a single manifold.

Thank you

Lookeeeee what just showed up at my door almost like magic.

Got the water in on Friday night and Edwin came over on Saturday for the switch. It was a crazy day but all seemed to go well. we had to finish the plumbing. Build and install light bar and build electronics box. We had to move the returns over to allow space for the MP40s didn’t think about...

Thanks Joe it’s good to be back.
