I used a ball valve on my drain pvc at the sump. Adjust the valve to be the same flow rate as the pump. Also I cut up a prefilter and put it at the...
Definitely take the plastic plants out, they will probably just grow brown algae and you will end up cleaning them more often then not.
I would strongly recommend setting up a sump. I used to have a 90 gal. that was not reef ready and didn't want to go with HOB overflow so I had all...
That's what I was thinking, and yes it is a current-usa product. Thanks!
I have an Outer Orbit lighting system and I hate the lunar light layout. The layout is 6 lunar lights in this configuration : : : That is all...
Sounds like you'll be able to keep some nice livestock under those. Can't wait to see it.
Just try not to stress your fish during the transition. With ich the more stress the worse it will get. Make sure the quarantine tank parameters...

What are the dimensions of your tank?
I've never seen/encountered that problem. I assume that is the reason the chillers are so expensive because they use more expensive materials for the...
I just replaced my dual actinics with 6500k/10000k bulbs and my MH are beyond old. I have to wait a few more weeks before getting the new bulbs so...
RO/DI was the best investment I made and I only got it about 2 weeks ago. Makes the process a lot easier and pays for itself in time vs. buying...
Definitely don't go cheap on the lights (depending on what you are planning on keeping in the tank +1 MoJoe).... if you research/shop around you WILL...
I was looking for 420/460 dual actinics but my LFS doesn't carry the 48'' bulbs anymore so I ended up getting the dual 6500K/10000K 130W daylight...
