Well, who am I kidding? It was bound to happen so why resist? Over the last few months the wife and I have talked about what would be my summer project this year since she knows that I HAVE to have something to occupy my time otherwise insanity sets in. I told her that my plan was to teach a...

I recently replaced my Wet Dry with a DIY sump and have got everything running the way I imagined. However, at this point I am still using the return hose from the Wet Dry to drain into my sump. I was hoping to replace this with PVC, so I made a trip to Home Depot and got the closest PVC...

I received my Octopus NW-200 last night. It is very large, but I managed to fit it under my stand. My tank is a 75 gal AGA RR. Both holes are drilled on the bottom and are close together. Do I want to make the return straight up or the drain straight down into the sump? Here is a picture how I...

Ah the first of many threads for the new tank. So here is the story. I have a 55 that is a work of learning, I started having no idea what I was doing, and now I know enough to be dangerous but not enought to be smart ;) So I wanna plan out this 95 so that I have the best chance of...
