I rubberband a toothbrush to the end of a siphon hose to collect algae, cyano, etc. Most times I'll have my wife hold the other end of the hose in the sump, in a mesh filter sock.

Did you test your make up water with the calibrated refracto? I would before doing such a large WC. +1 An auto top-off is one of the least talked about but most useful pieces of equipment in reefing. The Tunze is a bit pricey but well worth it in my opinion. I've had mine going for about...

I'm going to do a beananimal overflow again, so I'll be drilling the back panel. Thanks for the heads up though.

Thanks John. I will definitely check them out.

Hello all. I'm starting to research for my upgrade and I want to hear suggestions on where to buy a 120 gallon tank.

I use Coralife as well, but I find the alk to be around 9-9.5 at 1.026 SG.

I would just start the fixture higher above the tank. Gradually lower the fixture until you reach the recommended height. I started mine about 12" from the water surface, then lowered the fixture an inch a week for three weeks. Nine inches above the water is good for me but I do not keep SPS.

Thank you sir.

The alk checker is good. I've been looking for a sale on ATI bulbs...

Lmao! Great post!

please add me to the list

Add me to the list.

Thanks John. Let me know when you're making more.

Can we get a recipe?

I alternate between LRS reef frenzy and PE mysis. All of my fish seem to go after both foods. I plan to throw some Rod's into the rotation as well. EDIT: When I feed PE mysis, I also throw in a half cube of Cyclopeeze or Omega One oyster eggs.

Sorry to hear of the troubles John. I remember you mentioned the moisture issue at the swap, did you install a dehumidifier?

Thanks for the replies so far guys! John, I'm running the SRO 1000 INT right now. I think it would be too small to handle the 120. With a bigger tank, I'll certainly be adding more fish.

I plan on upgrading from a 75 to a 120 in about a year. So I am starting to plan the tank out now. First order of business is choosing a skimmer. After reading a bunch of reviews, I'm leaning towards the Aquamaxx CO-2. Thoughts? Any other suggestions?
