When you say freshwater, you do mean filtered right? If not what did you use to wash it with? Just throwing examples out, but a outdoor hose could have contaminated, or maybe trace amounts of chlorine that stayed in the sand. Drained afterall is not dry.

That's the combo I have also.

Fish factory in Bristol, pa and hidden reef in Levittown, pa. Actually about 1 mile from each other. Hidden reef is nice for dry goods and more or less the cheapest for salt. Fish are ok on the right day, coral is bad they have a good amount of coral but I have yet to buy any from them. If you...

Rich, the six line made the transition perfectly. Beautiful fish, you were right. Good luck with the move.

The auto does it on its own. It's connected to the power supply. Turns on for about 30sec then back to making water.

I actually was gonna ask the same thing. Any idea why your getting the stn

Give them a dip. And see what happens

They have seen better days but why trash. They are alive with extension. Ride it out. No sense in tossing

No prob. In my 44 I had the 2 750's about halfway down pointing towards the front/center/up. And the 425 behind the rocks. I think you'll be good with the 750's and both 425's

Personally, I would go with the 750's at least. I might even use the 1050's. I had a 44gal pentagon tank that I had 2 750's and a 425 on and I still felt like I could use more flow. The 425's are not gonna cut it IMO.

What size is the DT, and the sump? Remember only the first baffle would be 10" high, if you follow the diagram, the remaining will be shorter by 1" then another 1".

Thats my drawing and my sump. this was my first sump. I had it built for me, and the water level was determined by the recommended skimmer depth. This is my current. same one in the sketch you posted. I got about 10 gal more volume out of it. I could have gotten more had I made the baffles...

Sump depth is entirely up to you. Remember you can always build a stand as I did to raise the skimmer. Example, I used a 40 breeder for a sump. My skimmer, a SWC160 cone is recommended at 7"-9" I believe. I wanted to sun it at 7.5". I had to build a stand to accomplish this since my first baffle...

Do you mind sharing where In HD. While I have gotten what I need for my screens I would like to pick up some extra just in case.

Paul I have the aquatec 8800 http://www.thefilterguys.biz/booster_pumps.htm I absolutely love it. I had to buy my water before I got it. I just didn't have the pressure in my home. I can make about 5-6 gal an hr with it. That's with water set at the coldest setting. If I warm a bit that amount...

Good start George. While i love my 90, I really wish i listened to People that suggested the 120. That extra 6" right now would make a huge difference. Can't wait to see this come together. I like the cabinet your following as well. When you posted that it got my wheels turning. Hope you don't...

I really like that idea. I wish I would have went with that instead of the doors. I find that they are very restrictive.

Welcome to the club. I look forward to seeing the progress. Jason is a good guy. He helped me along when I was beginning as well. However, remember he's a salesman and it will become apparent as time goes on. As for coral, try to stay away from hidden reef for that. I've looked plenty of times...

That sucks. I know my wife ordered them for me for Xmas. She doesn't know that I know. Hopefully they didn't mess things up for me too. That could be an issue since, well I'm not getting them for a while.
