I'm heading of the parents place for the superbowl for a bit, then heading over my buddies parents place. I don't usually root for any team. Just...
Thank you very much! I basically just took out all crap he had put in it. Driftwood, a random blue chunk of glass (!) and let it ride. Doing water...
Even though my tank pales in comparison: Now: ;D [IMG] Just before I bought it: :o [IMG]
Gate valve, or good quality ball valve on return as 2n10 said. may have to add a second ball valve just above the return pump that dumps back into...
There was a dude named kgoldy that made a 40b display sump on the other forums for nano tanks. I basically am doing the exact same thing as he did,...
Yeah, my problem is I don't have a ton of money floating around to just wing it and hope the pump I get works. I'm still figuring on a Mag 9.5, but...
struggling with that very thought in my 40/40 setup atm.
The ats won't be able to be driven off the drain line. Not enough flow in all likelihood. Plus, one less thing to potentially clog and flood. While...
There ya go. That's not a terrible idea either. :-)
Well, good on ya for scoring a 50G w/ everything for under 150! But, you're still basically shooting yourself in the foot for not getting an rodi...

I'm in the design process of my 40B/40B setup and I'm wondering how large a pump to use, or if multiple pumps would be better. I need to power an ATS...
First off, slow down. Algae problems take a while to fix. Your first job is to save money for an rodi. Period. So, unless you're buying that 50g reef...
Agreed. build thread is mandatory! :-)
Anything from simple plywood supports to elaborate acrylic pieces can be used. Could even use just regular pipe clamps found at your local hardware...
Honestly, try to buy a complete setup used. I did this with my 36g bow front. Sure, it had it's issues (was ran on tap water for 2yrs prior to me)...
Nope. I'm pretty sure I did it within a week with how many questions and silly ideas i had.
well, ya still only have 25 posts. It's like that to keep people from signing up JUST to get into the for sale forums. Pretty sure posts in the off...
