Cool, I have a 130 w/ about 225 lbs of live rock and the 30 gal sump with another 15 lbs or so. With any luck I should have plenty of pods that way....
Thanks, all. It's a sorry statement that burning $20 doesn't even get me to bat an eye. If that's the worst money I spend on this tank this...
Wasn't sure where it belonged, thought I could delete the post from the wrong forum. My bad.
Yeah, I figured that is what happened with those tigger pods, I saw a bunch of little red specks on the sand in my sump and hoped it was detrius. I...
So I put a bottle of tigger-pods into my sump w/ a bunch of live rock and some chaeto. 2 weeks later I have some hair algae growing on my glass...
This is the best set of pictures I've been able to find for the bio-wheel mod; pretty simple stuff. [IMG] [IMG] Seems like a useful trick...
Okay, so what about the NAC7 -- the cone version of NAC6 in the other thread? Bubble Magus NAC7 NAC-7 Cone Protein Skimmer Anyone have any...
So why not put in a DSB? That would give you a place in the tank to allow beneficial bacteria to grow without making it difficult to clean. Heck,...
The more educated folks can correct me, but this seems like a very bad idea. I don't believe that the bacteria needed to correctly cycle your tank...
So try to do something different with the lion. Any other concerns? Bioload is reasonable?
Hey all, I think I've decided what direction I want to go with my reef setup. My setup is 130 gal (the 6 footer) with a 30 gal sump. I have...
I ended up using filter floss to great effect. I used a media bag filled with it and zip-tied it over my drain outlet. Filter-floss is cheap and...
This won't make an issue with my pump, will it? I put butterfly valves into my plumbing just in case (moreso so I could control flow if an area of...
I'm running mine with the lunar lights on my power center. When the Halides/PC's shut off and the Lunar's come on, so do my sump lights.
I'm $1,100 in to my 125 and honestly feel like I'm stealing it. From getting my light fixture for 1/4 of it's 'new' price to getting LR at $1/lb,...
Nope, that was going to be my first attempt at solving it but I'd seen enough 'con' posts regarding maintenance with filtersocks that I was going to...
I'm having some issues with microbubbles without even having my skimmer installed yet. My drains are emptying into clear tubing and I can see all...
I have 3 10K 150W metal halides, 2 34' 460nm 96 Watt 'blue' (false) actinics and now the 2 34' 420nm 96 watt actinics. So here's my solution, I've...
So my new actinics came today to replace my burnt out ones. Unfortunately, I my 2 leftover bulbs were 460 (I think) and my new ones are 420. The...
