Horray for me! I got a 125 this week so.... HERE IS MY BUILD THREAD :banana: The tank is a AGA 125 (72x23x18) The tank will be SPS dom with a few softies thrown in. I will use much of the equip from my 75 the only thing I will need is a this 250w MH and a larger sump (rubbermaid stock tank)...

Right now we have a Back Pak hang-on skimmer, but our new tank will have a sump (yay!). We've never purchased a skimmer that goes in the sump, so I'm not really sure what to look for. Can someone point me in the right direction? Brands to avoid? Reputable brands? This will be a 180 gallon.

So I got a price qoute on a 70 gallon tech tank with stand for $865 from my lfs. Before I take the plunge has anybody had any bad experiences with them? I've researched quite a bit and most people seem to really like them and I haven't found any complaints. This price also seems to be fairly...

So I got a free skimmer from Current. Its the Current Fission Recirculating Skimmer for 150g. I got it because of well lets say some inside connections. My plan was to get this and use it just till I got my ASM G2. But after seeing it up and running now I dont know. I see nothing wrong with it...

What is the best skimmer for a 75G? Of course price does matter but what would be really good with a GREAT track record that does not need to be modded after getting it.

This is from the back end of the Euro -reef frustration thread. I'm supposed to be going on vacation tomorrrow and right now it looks like I'll have to leave the skimmer turned off for a week or so, any ideas would be appreciated: I have been following this thread and I went ahead and cut off...

I'm Getting an Octo NW 150 or 200 and am curious if anyone's running either of these. What I really need to know is how you have your intake set up. Are you pulling right out of the sump or are you hard plumbed straight into your tanks overflow. Also how deep are your sump water this skimmer. Oh...

I have seen some nice stands and canopies like CRVZ's. I would like to see some more to get some ideas on building one. Epecially those that are really finished off and those made with minimal tools and have a finished look. And my minimal tools I mean no table saws or routers just a circular...

The skimmer that I have is a Pro Clear Aquatic Systems skimmer that I believe is rated for a 75G tank. It has a Rio 600 pump on it. I can post a picture but that is all I can tell you about it. It came with my 90 gallon tank. After reading some of the threads on TRT, the "rule of thumb" is...

Hello I have been out of the hobby for over 5 years now and I'm looking to get back into it. I had a coupe of 90 gal tanks (one reef and one fish only) in the past. I'm now looking at a 150 to 215 sized tanks. I live in a dry climate and water will evaperate at a high rate which is my first...

I am probably going to be getting a 28G nanocube with the HQI light. I am debating on the setup. It will probably have SPS/LPS and a clam with a few fish. BB or a thin sand layer (I like the look of sand much better)? Keep the filter media in the sump part? Care for the acrylic type tank...

Does anybody know why aquacave.com is no longer in the 'sponsors' area? I ordered my Octo nw-200 from them and am now looking to order some more stuff, but... they are no longer on TRT. Is something wrong, should I avoid ordering from them or something like that?

Hey, just ordered my new 220 for delivery on the 17th, and being new to the hobby (saltwater at least) wanted to make sure my fish selections wont find their tankmates an expensive live food....:freak: here is my fish list as of now, feel free to destroy it in any way deemed necessary!: 1-...
