Looks great, what auto water change system where you looking at?

We do water changes because we have closed systems. We add nutrients daily through feeding and our fish/inverts pooping. You can remove those nutrients through skimming, chemical filtration, and water changes. Chemical and skimming will get most of it but not all of it, water changes will get...

It all depends on your system and what you have. With my nanos that were coral heavy I had to be diligent 10% weekly as you have a small system volume and sensitive corals. In my bigger system I am more lax, maybe 20% every 2-3 weeks. I still have the same sensitve corals but my tank is...

I would nix the six line. They are known terrors and in a 40 it might just kill all your fish. Maybe a nice flasher wrasse. I will pm you on equipment if it becomes available.

A three foot sump will give you some nice room in the stand to put an ATO container and some other things.

Did you get mine?

If you are going to run everything HOB, I would recommend the CPR HOB refugiums and the Aqua C Remora. Let me dig around I think I still have both of mine off of my old systems. Lighting: You might be able to get away with a 4 bulb but if you can find a 6 bulb you will be set for whatever...

I just sent a PM as a test and it went through.

Some breeders have had good luck with using a small flower pot. The clowns like the security of it and they will spawn in there. It is tough once they choose their spot, but as jgraz mentioned a tile would work well too. Do you have a sump or another area you could take the water from that...

LEDs vs halide absolutely you will see the difference in electric usage. Also they put out less heat which might negate your chiller which is an energy hog as well.

No, we just left ours on the window sill and let them do their thing. I am sure we will be firing it up once again soon, just want to get the big tank settled in.

Check around with our sponsors, I know several have some great prices on tanks. Unfortunately most are not in cherry hill. But Trop and AO generally have very very competitive prices on tanks. I am sure one of the southerners down there will chime in with the best options. Also, click on the...

You have to start with the size tank/sump you want because that will dictate what equipment you should/could get. I agree with Ryan that a 120 (4x2x2) would be a really good choice. You will appreciate the two foot depth and save 6 inches on the sides which will give you some room to play...

These are the inlines heaters they make for bigger tanks. http://www.championlighting.com/home.php?cat=1507 I thought about it but 1k for a heater just seemed excessive.

Tropiquarium has the 120 gallon version setup in their store if you want to see one running. I was quite impressed with the overall build quality and the components. I started with all AIO systems because I like you am not mechanically inclined. However, I got away from that and have a...

adesimone has the 3x3x3 cube which is 150 gallons and it is a stunner. If that is too big I would go with at least the 75g or 90g. I had the 57g which was three feet but it was narrow which you will want to upgrade from down the line. In my opinion and only my opinion, I would not get...

That is an amazing light, someone should snap that up.

+1 on this reactor, I have it and love it.

Welcome to the boards. Put a post out in the equipment thread on the Red Sea Max and I am sure you will get some answers.

Test the outgoing effluent from the calcium rea crowd for alk. If it is good to go I do not think you would need a ton of extra flow.
