    Hi, so I need feedback on converting my fluvial 405 canister filter into a sump, but not the way your thinking. Tank is not drilled it will cost around $300 to get hob overflow return pump and extras, what makes no sense is that the canister takes water in and out of the tank, so could I use it...

    I really want a sump on my 75g reef, but its not drilled, no built in over flow or anything, and tank is already established so I can't drill or anything ( not willing to try ). I heard of the hob overflow , which seems promising but I'm concerned for if I lose power. My plan is to have a 40g...

    Hey TRT, I am split between two different types of rock. I would make two orders of either one to be able to sculpt a nice design to put into the tank. If you think there is a better type of rock or better deal, please feel free to share. Otherwise, which would you choose...

    So today I started a new tank. Nothing as extreme as my 150gal reef tank. As a matter of fact this 75gal tank will be a FOWLR tank with just a single lionfish. I don't feel I need a skimmer with this setup. It's a low bioload. The way I see it is a lion fish really won't have any uneaten...
