Wow Kyle, you’re right about three clams in a 34. You will have to dose Alkalinity, Calcium and Magnesium….and test for all three. I would recommend the Red Sea Pro Alk, Calc and Mg test kit. As far as dosing, B-ionic or BRS or DIY. HERE’s the DIY instructions and a LINK WITHIN NJRC...

You simply silicone the glass baffles to the side glass of the tank. I use GE Silicone I on all my sumps. However some have used RTV 103 or 108 silicones. The RRV silicones are more of an adhesive, while the GE is more or a caulk…..but either one will work. The thing I’ve found is don’t...

Well I’ve only had it running for a day and my nitrates and phosphates haven’t dropped at all…..so I’m not liking it yet! :p :grin: :grin: :grin: Otherwise, watching the pellets spinning round and round reminded me of lava lamps. I think back in the day (the 60’s), you could...

A JNS Alpha 2 Biopellet Reactor that I picked up from Mike S.

Listening to the radio yesterday they said the six foot wave washed three people off the jetty at Barnegat Inlet. All three were saved.

I have the 1500 and run the drains to each of the corners of a 40 breeder sump. Here’s a picture of the back of the tank, where you can see the two drains and the return: And here is an old picture of the old sump where you can see the setup of the sump with two drains entering each...

Happy Birthday Austyn, and be safe while playing in the sandbox!

It's not so much the number of returns (although that plays into the head loss calculations), but more the size of your return pump. What pump are you planning on using?

I’d trade my age (and pains….knees are shot!) for youth in a second. I can only say, wait until you hit that magic number. With me, it was around 58, where everything started to hurt.

Bump!

Here’s the deal…..either a 700 or 1500 will work on a 75. I personally would go with the 1500 and put a MAG 9.5 in the sump as my return. But that’s just me. The bottom line is that you want to make sure your return pump doesn’t exceed the capacity of the overflow.

I worked on my tank today. For me, that’s a major accomplishment. Being retired is hard work. I’m serious! I had more time to play when I worked a 9 to 5…I just don’t know where my time goes! So today I finally installed the bioreactor I picked up a month and a half ago. To...

I like your “go slow” approach. That’s a sign of success in this hobby. Don’t know if you’ve seen it, but here is the standard stand frame that many use. I’ve used this on my 90 gallon DT. With a four foot 75 gallon, all boards can be 2 x 4’s. Once built, you can skin it in...

Another hot day.....how's the temperature on your nano?

I'm guessing you're viewing this on a phone.....Dan is in Blackwood (south of Camden), and I'm in Sayreville (the arm pit).

Jen, don't know if it can help you, but I have a spare Tautronics 120W LED unit you can borrow. Let me know. It's better than nothing.

I would think that if you wanted SPS on a 75, you’d be better off with a six bulb T5 unit. However, I’d go LED. I switched from T5's to LEDs. If you’re budget conscious, check out Reefbeeders. They sell very nice LEDs at reasonable costs. Also relies that if you go T5 route, you’re...

I have two JBJ 28 hoods for sale….an HQI hood and a Quad CF hood HQI hood The HQI is a 150 W HQI with what I believe are two actinic CF bulbs. All bulbs work, but uncertain of the age: The top of the hood has a slight deformity which I believe is from it overheating….it can be seen...

The heat is here! I’m selling a Nano Arctica Titanium Chiller, 1/20 horsepower (model DBI-038). This was originally on the JBJ28 when the HQI light was being used. It was purchased for $290. Comes with the chiller, about five feet of ½ tubing on each of the outlets, and the owner’s manual...

Nicely done! Love seeing the projects involving sawdust. I’m just questioning what appears to be a Victoria Secret’s catalog on the top of the stand.
