It looks like im going to be getting a new sump soon (Aqueon Proflex 2) so I just need a little help with this.
First- Filter Sock:
Felt or Mesh and what micron. While Im at it, are all brands equal or do some fall apart easier then others.
Second - Skimmer

I finally was able to swap out the stock lighting from my Deep Blue 48" Solar Extreme Fixture (Thanks Paul and Sid!)
And all I can say is WOW, I can't believe the difference the lighting made in my tank. I have an acan that I thought was washed out, purplish, and white. Now with the new lights...
I've been looking at upgrading my sump from an old amiracle wet/dry converted to refugium to an aqueon proflex 2. Because I have the 72 gallon bow the dimensions are perfect. 29 7/8 in. x 9 7/8 in. x 18 7/8 in. I was originally looking for 10 x 30 long but this is as close as I can get that...
Im pretty sure this can be made into a movie.

I noticed my skimmer making a weird noise today so I took a look at it and noticed there was a broken washer inside the pump behind the impeller. Its an Eshopps PSK100H. Other than contacting Eshopps does anyone have any ideas where I could get these? Would it be something I could find a Depot...
Being relatively new to the hobby I picked up this tank about 3 months ago and have done a ton of changes. If I can find the original pics, prior to me joining this site, I will post them.

I would like to setup RO/DI system with RO drinking water, and float valve for the RO/DI water.
Since the RO/DI unit I have is in pieces and am working on getting it back hooked up correctly I want to make sure I have everything hooked up correctly.
Here goes.

Looking at the tank this morning I realized Im going to have to move some things around.
I have a Candy Cane coral which I really like and it has really colored up and now it is sending out about 3" sweepers. I do have a nice piece of SPS that is also growing like a week right next to it so I...
Anyone ever try these?

So my wife wants to add some more colors to the tank and is specifically looking for some bright pink or yellow zoos. I have a section of the tank Id like to add a couple different types of zoos too and I already have orange people eaters there.
Ive been searching through all our vendor sites...
I had a nice hole in one of my pieces of live rock and decided I would put a plug in there. Every once in awhile I would notice that the plug would be on the sand upside down. When I went to put the plug back in today I noticed something move and realized there was a bivalve right next to it...
So I just picked up a nice piece of shelf and found the perfect spot for it. It's wedged in pretty good but would like to shore it up by "gluing it" to the other rocks to make sure it doesn't move. I have a torch, hammer, and frogspawn right below it so I want to make sure one of my bulldozers...
Well I've had the tank going for awhile now and am looking to move all the corals to their final homes. I have a couple questions.
How high up should I put my ultra acan in the tank? Currently its on the sand bed but I want to get it up on a rock so I can stop blowing off all the sand my...
Im looking to trade out this Acan. I've had it for about 3-4 months now and I have not had any problems with it. When I originally got it, it was stung up by a torch coral but now new tissue is growing over the damaged size. If you want I can turn it around and take a picture of the damaged side...
Ok, well I've been keeping this stuff for the past 3 months and I have no idea what it is so I guess its about time to ask what I have.
Some sort of small zoa
Thank you in advance!
Another zoa, Maybe purple people eater?
I know its a leather, just curious if anyone can help me with what...

Out of the few I've been to I'd have to say the Atlanta Aquarium takes the cake. The whale sharks are just amazing.
