Granted mine is a smaller tank, but I only have 20.5"x20.5" to work with under the aquarium.
Very nice. If I were you, rather than the krylon fusion, I would scuff-sand the plastic and let some nice purple algae grow on it. Looks cool...
I have my check valve just above the water pump, so when I switch off the pump, it immediately clicks closed. The return just free flows down into...
For what it's worth, I have a green and purple frogspawn, and it regularly shrivels up and gets fuzzy and white like that, and then a day later is...
Thanks guys, appreciate the tips. New tank is down to 12 dKh this morning. I will try the air suggestion and see if its a CO2 issue.
Something that has plagued my tank for a year... and now I'm noticing it in my new tank as well, although not as much: Old tank - currently still...
Yeah and 8.8 pH with 8.7 dKh? Something's definitely off there. If you're using anything electronic etc. to check any of this I suggest...
I'd check out ecoxotic.com for their LED stuff. For skimmer - you planning to run a sump?
He knows he's going to make 10-20x that much setting you up :)
Wow, nice setup!
Looks like my tank is re-cycling, even though I added some cured live rock and water from the old tank. Nitrites at 0.25 ppm, pH at 7.8 / 7dKh (just...

I personally just leak tested with a "live batch". Not because I'm an expert just because that's how I roll :) With PVC you can generally tell if a...
Keep in mind anything you use to make "rock" whether its plaster, or concrete, or whatever else works by a chemical reaction with its various...
Yeah I *think* (ask someone smarter/more experienced here) if you were seriously having ongoing ammonia, the other byproducts would give you a pretty...
Sure it's Coral you're growing in that box? ;-)
I think what they're trying to say is "Here's this guy who has never posted here before, posting a youtube video, with no context, and the youtube...
No new pics yet, but tank is full of water! Used a few gallons from the sump and sump from the old main tank, and lots of fresh salt water mix. Put...
Yeah, going on 3 weeks now. Taking a second look at it, it appears the caulk is mostly above the waterline anyhow. Oddly enough, the corals seem to...
New photos - tank with the return lines and drain fitted, with the drain pipe. I ultimately want to put some kind of overflow box, but for right now...
