    Do you mean you're not very computer savvy? The APEX has a very well (unofficial) written user guide you can check out here; http://reeftech.webs.com/Apex%20New%20User%20Guide.pdf

    Thanks for all the input. That pipe was holding up the rest of the piping so it didn't stress it. I'll try to check home depot today. It says those pipe hangers are NOT in my local stores. I was able to glue it all last night.

    Reef Controller

    Right now I have a 50g with 18g sump running a Bubble Magus 3.5. It seems to be a little under powered. I'm putting together a 75g w/ 40gallon sump(which I'm finishing the plumbing today). I haven't chosen a skimmer for it yet. That's the last thing I need. I believe I might be going with a...

    edit: Do you mean the ball valve? or the fuge pipe that will have holes in it?

    75g upgrade; advice, guidance & suggestions.

    I've never shimmed a tank before. The tank is not level. If I shim it & then I fill the tank, will it then be off level again? How does this plumbing look? I'm going to drill holes like Xavier said in that pipe in the fuge area and keep that pipe submerged. I ran out of PVC parts. I'm...

    Thanks for the input. Very good idea on drilling holes in the rock! I have such a hard time with my scape now because I don't have many holes for them to go into. I picked up everything from Xavier on Saturday. I'm in love with the stand & the modifications he did to the tank itself. Lots of...

    FS: SWC120 Skimmer

    I literally just bought this (new) last week from TB Aquatics & put it in vinegar bath to get all the factory oils off of it. I found a GREAT deal on a bigger tank, so this has to go. My loss is your gain! $200shipped $190 picked up in East Brunswick, NJ. I paid $224 + tax. If you need...

    This is how Xavier was running this tank with the MAG 18. I'm sure he'll chime in again about the flow rate on the sump etc. I picked up two bottles of dr tim's one & only to help speed up the process. If it cycle's then I'll just wait. Glad I can have both tanks up at the same time. Do I have...
