Return pump is only one way that you can achieve circulation. Vortechs, Koralia, Jebo, Sicci are all probably more efficent then a return pump. I tend to think that when you hit a certain size the return pump is more of a secondary circulation instrument then the internal pumps. Your return...

What kind of lights are you getting? I went from T5 to the Apollo LED http://apolloreefled.com/ during our group buy and I noticed a huge difference in tank temp. I never went above 80 this summer. Yes had the AC on a little cooler then you but made a big difference. Also if you do go to the...

Or he could have soured on the store...I don't see anything new or useful. Let's just agree to disagree this is a polarizing store. (did I spell that right?) If you have spoken your piece as I have just let it go. Thanks

Reasons to go basement. 1) pumps skimmers all make noise...basement is away from the tank. (good arguement for wife) 2) mess factor .. when you have a flood(eventually it will happen) it will be in the basement. (good arguement for wife) 3) you can fit a larger water system in basement vs under...

I moved from a 29 to a 120. That was great. Go to the basement, Mikes settup is freeking awsome if you can go that crazy. I regret having my sump under the tank to this day. If at some point I redo my stand it is going in the half basement with all my water change stuff.

Mine too hardly do anything. The super high tech Japanese style ones are a lot of work.

Unbelievable that is sweeeeeetttt. Glad you are feeling better.

:victorious: WOW

Same but my bubble trap is between skimmer and fuge.

Tank is really sweet, nice job all around.

I have always had a pair in a 120 4ft and no problems...think that they do better in reef tanks then non reef too for what it is worth.

How about a fence. :grin: http://www.mrmcgregorfence.com/faq.htm That will keep the coral thieves away too during any monthly meetings. I had pictures of duct tape and cats but I figured I would offend someone.

You know it is really funny in a sad way that this is true. I have always skipped the bad ones I guess partially by chance and partially using that rule.

I agree it appears Win 8 is a memory hog ...worse then Win 7. So if you don't get a touch screen it isn't worth it. There are a lot of new all in one computers, including a 27 in Lenovo that are portable ... like giant tablets. I understand there is going to be a new Win 8 version in October I...

BTW I found my yellow assessor after like a full month of not seeing him....lets say they can be a little shy. I guess he heard me talking about him haha.

The general rule of thumb is 1 inch per 5 gallons....vs 1 per 1 in fresh water. Lets say our sumps are the same..in my 120 I have 2 tangs, 2 clowns, bangaii cardinal fish, small angel and maybe a yellow assessor. Max fish I think the above plus wrasse and blenny. That was full what I have...

The tank is really pretty good sized. Do you have a sump also? I like tangs a lot and have had two almost always in my tank. The smaller they are the easier the situation will be. That is not the standard answer however and the tang police may come out and get me. Tang police I have always...

Or you could just listen to a professional and not me. I would have some desk/portable fans around if it is a hot day in any case.

You can set up fans to cool the tank and keep heaters in it to keep it from dropping to low on cooler nights. Wouldn't worry about lights so much if you can limit the move to a day or two....or you can set up one over the tank and one over the holding stock tank. At some point when I first set...

It is well worth it to become a member. Some stores will give you a discount to be a member. We have group buys. And you can access the members only forums where you can buy and sell stuff in a NON COMMERCIAL way. I point that out cuz we get a few folks who push the envelope on occasion. We...
