Jose, from your PM and conversation we had tonight, I wanted to post a picture of my current sump, with the return section in the middle. I have two drain pipes coming down from my DT. One enters the refugium in the right corner, the other enters a filter sock in the left corner. The filter...

Madreefer reviewed this pump back in 2011. HERE is his review. Although I now have Vortechs, I think if I were setting up a tank today I’d take a look at Jebao WP 25’s and WP 40’s. I’ve seen the 40’s first hand and they put out tons of flow. I am fairly confident they are DC driven...

Here are two 75 gallon sumps I’ve put together. What is critical is deciding specifically what equipment you wish to put in the sump and sizing the compartments accordingly. Most likely the largest item will be the skimmer. You want to make sure that obviously it fits in the...

Happy Birthday Dan! Enjoy your day.

It is nearly impossible leveling a flat-bottom stand (or a piece of flat plywood under the stand), because the weight is spread out over a large area. You would be better off building a frame out of two by fours (or two by twos), and covering that with ¾ plywood. Now the weight distribution...

So more of a tease!

And here is a picture of my Red Lamborghini Aventador in the garage with the lights out…..notice the custom seats. Come on Mike, give me a break! What a tease! :grin:

That is not Red Slime Algae (Cyanobacteria). Cyano is more mat-like, and easily lifted or blown off. It’s hard to tell from the pictures (maybe because I have a little netbook), but I’d search dinoflagellates or maybe Calothrix.

Here is Eric Borneman's recipe, which I believe is close to what was done at Terri and Anthony's house a few months ago: Eric Borneman’s Fish/Coral Food Recipe Fish food and coral food (coral food is liquefied) Ingredients - a whole fresh sea fish - 10 whole shrimp - I squeeze the heads -...

Jose, I need pictures!

Pending to Taz.....mrehfeld, you're number two. In the mean time I'll see if i can harvest another.

Bump....still have the HQI hood that fits a JBJ 28 or 24.

I have one of the babies of my Large Hairy Mushroom for sale for $5.00. I have given this away in the past, where I’ve peeled them off the rock, and they have all died. I successfully got this guy off and mounted and living in my tank for the past two months, so that is why I’m selling...

Hopefully Bob (radiata) will comment….he is a frog-keeper and breeds his own foods….bugs and flys. I’m sure he can provide excellent advice.

If it's dimensional lumber....2x4, 2x6, etc, or boards no wider than ten inches, I can do it whenever you want to. Unfortunately my circular saw is on-lone right now, so I can't do plywood. I'm right next door in Sayreville. I'll PM my number.

I will preface this by stating I’m really not a nano person. I would surmise that two bulbs would not be enough. When I ran T5’s I was told that you pretty much want to cover the surface area with lights. I ran six on a 17 inch wide tank. Now granted, a ten gallon tank isn’t that deep...

Here’s my two cents on becketted skimmers: I own three of them, two of which are MRC’s. These were the best skimmers I’ve owned as far as taking the crap out of the tank. However, I will agree with others that they are energy hogs and also sound like a jet engine….very loud. You can put...

This is a tough question, because it all depends on YOUR eye, and what you like. I should also preface this by telling you I’m Red/Green colorblind. I personally like a blue tank. So I’d add at least 2 more RB’s (since you said the power supply can handle up to 10), and you currently have...

Was this the 120W ReefBreeders LED? I’m also assuming you had it cranked back to almost nothing over a 10 gallon. The point I’m getting at; Could you have given them too much light?

Very nice Mike and Nikki! Thanks for updating.
