    Powerhead question

    I'm finally giving up on my old Koralia b/c it turns backwards every couple of hours now. I've got a 5' 110g. There is an EcoTech MP40 on one side and a Mag9 returning water from the sump. I'd like something else on the other side. I don't want to spend $300 to get another EcoTech. Any...

    Skimmer Pump Suggestions

    The pump for my Euro-Reef 80 recently crapped out on me and I'm looking for a replacement. The E-R came with a Sedra KSC 3500 which runs with a needle wheel. Any suggestions on a replacement pump for it or does everyone like the Sedra which is also used for the ASM skimmers?

    storage tank maker?

    I need to get a glass or acrylic tank about 22"L x 12"w x 16"T. It will just be to hold RO/DI water inside a cabinet so I don't need anything fancy but I do want it to be solid. It will also need two holes, one about 3/4" for a bulkhead and one 1/4" for a float switch. Any suggetions on...

    Mangrove Holder

    I'm trying to create a new holder for my mangroves in my sump. Currently they are stuffed between my baffles but they keep falling over and the roots are very limited. I was thinking about using styrofoam and cutting slits in it to hold the mangroves. But something tells my styrofoam is made...

    Hydor Koralia Question

    I've got a 110g tank (60x18x24) with two Hydor Koralia 4s for my internal circulation. There is also a Mag 9.5 in the sump for my return (split between a chiller and normal return line). My Koralias always start banging around randomly as the propelor jumps up and down on the shaft...

    IceCap 660 Help

    I have two 660's running five 5' T5s. One 660 runs 3 lamps and the other runs 2 lamps. Today I noticed the 660 running the three lamps turns on and then immediately turns off. I tried this several times and it turns on then off immediately each time. The 660 running the two lamps works fine...

    Aquarium Specialty - Two Thumbs Up

    I ordered T5 lamps from Aquarium Speciality. Scott offers great service. He answered his phone on the first ring, responded to an email within 3 minutes, and the pricing was terrific. The lamps were very well packaged and delivered faster than expected. I'd order from Aquarium Speciality...

    Recycling?

    I'm in the middle of doing a water change and had a brainstorm. Why can't I use the old fish water for brining my turkey. There has to be some great flavor in there.

    Lighting Help Needed

    I have 5x80w T5 lighting with 3 bulbs on ballast #1 and 2 bulbs on ballast #2. Both ballasts are Icecap 660s. The other day I noticed the 3 bulbs set was not on when it should be. I tried to turn them on and they would not light at all. I switched the two ballasts to see if I could get the...

    EuroReef RS80 Question

    I've had my RS-80 working great for the past 6 months. Just this week a huge amount of microbubbles are coming out of the water outflow tube and filling my sump and being pumped into the display tank. Before this week the water coming out of the output tube has always been water with no (or...

    Pump Question

    If I wanted to run a return pump externally but did not have my sump drilled can you plumb PVC from the return section of the sump, up and over the sump wall and have it feed into the pump? My guess is no, becuase the pumps would not actually suck water up the PVC. Rather it must have the...
