Makes sense, looking forward to trying the new one. Ironically one of my K4 is bit noisy, I have a feeling I lost one of the small washers :-[.

I wonder two things, why the extra shock obsorber and can you use the old base with the new motor?

Thanks for the info...really interested to see how it works out. Another note since you are new we have a monthly meeting that everyone is welcome to come to. It will be at Rod's house so you get to see our newly elected Prez's tank. :) Plus as a new member you are bound to win at the raffles.

Sure glad to help, you can see in the pictures I have a good growth of cheato. I have layers like an onion :D mud, sand, rubble, cheato....the flow is pretty even over the top of the fuge. One nice thing about the design on my sump is he used an non- transparent plastic for the dividers so the...

I don't think he meant don't have LR but don't bunch the cheato in the corner. I would personally spread the cheato out like a blanket on the top of the LR. Here is pic of my cheato for you.

Holy Smokes that is one detailed first post. :o First welcome. Second do I get credit in an electical engineering class for reading this. :D Finally looks great thanks for posting...I am sure a lot of folks are going to be interested in your progress.

That is pretty stange behavior for the clowns, the hippo, but not the coral beauty. Wonder why your fish have a taste for coral. Maybe there is something else going on? FYI my CB picked at a few things after introduction but has since figured out what is food and what is not. Make sure your fish...

I am with everyone else, I have them and they seem to be harmless.

+1 for what Hawkeye said. Anything you can do to block the light from getting out of your fuge area will help too.

Good question, they are tricky but 2 in shouldn't pose a problem.

Yes sure ... key I think(having never owned groupers or tusk) that you want cave like structures that are darkish but you can still see the fish. Otherwise sounds pretty good.

I would make sure you have enough live rock the tanks like to swim yes but the other fish the tusk and grouper are cave type fish. Angle will like LR and like to pick.

+1 what MR X plus good reputation and in your price zone.

MJ 900 puts out almost as many GPH using a lot less watts compared to the MJ1200. Off the top of my head it is 8.5 vs 12 and about 230 GPH vs 260 GPH. But the Koralia is like 300 GPH at 8W. I have one nice little pump, only downside is no screen on the intake. For smaller tanks it is good to...

I would look at the Octopus recirculating skimmers

Your tank is sort the real minimum. Some have them in 75G which is tooooooo small. I passed on one for my 125 but your tank should be OK. Eventually you may have to move it(years down the road). Think your stocking list should be fine, unless you want shrimp, snails, crabs, etc. ;D. Make sure...

I would block off all but the top section for better surface skimming. Koralia also makes a supper small pump. http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=HY-P14801&Category_Code=koralia

Also in the for what it is worth I think most salt mixes have some dechlorinator in them, surprised IO doesn't. If you are using RO/DI it doesn't matter as per Mike. If you have corals I would use Reef Crystals ...step up in Ca.

I am all for cheato in the fuge.  I don't think your pod production will be good without some cheato.  My pods are all through the cheato.  I have to assume the live on and in it.  Second I see a change for the better when I harvest the cheato.  I don't think that skimming alone is the best way...

Usually other members give away cheato, I know I do. And I know a few down south have done so also, I am central NJ 07739. Put a feeler out someone will give you some I am sure. The MODS are typically something like what I did with my nano which was remove all the filter mediums they provided...
