    I just bought a 20g glass tank as my sump to go under my 65g reef tank. The 20g sump is 24" long 12" wide and 16" high. I don't want to do a refuge at all. Just my new Euro skimmer I bought and just those blue filter blocs and that's it. I'll just have incomming water from my drilled tank with...

    ...considering it only had to go about 8 feet. The new stand just had uber-tight tolerances - no room for error, even less room for error than I realized. Was about 1/32" off on length of REAR of tank, apparently I took for granted the tank was square... :arg: Wish I had pictures - had to...
  6. Skimmers & other filtration
    I know, I know, I shoulda got a different one, but as I stated in another post, it was the only one I could get to fit in my sump. Anyways, I have the whole thing in sump, but I cant get the thing to make bubbles. If I take the hose out of the diffuser box, then I can get bubbles, but then my...

    well.. I found him! He made it all the way through & now is playing in the sump return pump chamber... I put a bio ball on the mag 12 intake so he does not get blended. I think I'll name him Houdini. Well. I needed to clean pumps & sump anyway Anyone have a fish leash for sale or trade for...

    Thought I would start a new thread to gauge interest in this area. I know a few of you have some pretty hi-tech setups and can automatically control most areas of your system and would love to hear about them. From the "no budget - just buy it" to the "gotta keep it cheap" crowd, what are...

    My tank: 52 gal half hex 48"L x 12"D x 21"H If I was to add an overflow box for a sump, how many gph should I shot for? The only thing I plan to use my sump for is the skimmer, heater, and added flow. I'm thinking that the return(s) could be hung on each corner and run the the bottom of the...

    120 gallon RR tank with a 35 gal or so sump with Mag 12 return pump. For auto top-off, there will be a tube out to a RO/DI container connected to a powerhead controlled by a Cailfornia Reefs float switch. Plan to run a chiller driven by a Mag 9.5 in the sump connected to the chiller in the...

    Hey All, Its been awhile I know. I finally bought and received all the components for my fuge/sump. But I was curious on my EuroReef CS5-3 Skimmer. I figure the water gets sucked in through the pump, but how does it come out? Does it come up through the riser pipe where the foam things is? Is...

    I can't fit a single piece of starboard in a new tank I'm setting up, should I silicon the seam between the pieces, once I have them inside the tank? Is it worth the bother? Would detritus settle into the seam between the pieces of starboard? Thanks all!
