    plumbing my UV Sterilizer

    I'm debating how to plumb a UV sterilizer to my tank. Some claim returning to the sump is not effective because it's only treating the sump, which seems off to me. I am considering pulling from sump and returning to display. Who has strong feelings on this based on experience?

    Looking at getting back into the hobby thoughts on complete systems

    Hey guys I have been out of the hobby for over 10 years but am thinking about coming back. I used to be a very active member in the MARSH community. I am looking at getting something that is relatively plug and play. Are the red sea tanks and lights good quality, or waterbox? thanks!

    anyone have an extra skimmer I can borrow?

    My part for my bubble king is still not here after 3 weeks and I while I am doing weekly water changes, the tank is having a hard time without a skimmer.

    My system diagnosis -

    I have throughly reviewed my tank and what happened and while I can not draw an exact scientific cause, I pretty much know what happened to my tank. I am pretty sure that the loss of my skimmer in addition to a low alkalinity caused retention of CO2 and low pH and a total sps kill off. While...

    I noticed a lot of my sps looking bad last week. I worked a ton and had no time to spend on the tank. Today I started doing my maintenance and I noticed no resin in my phosphate reactor. All of the resin somehow moved into the sump an dispersed itself across the tank. I will suck up what I...

    light change time what do you think?

    I am tired of my canopy which makes working on my tank horrible. I am ditching it for either a MH/t5 fixture of an all t-5 fixture. What do you think 250x2 with 2 x 54 watt Mh/t-5 combo or a 10-12 bulbs t-5 fixture?

    Taking down a big cap

    I need to move my red cap as it has essentially taken over the center of the tank and is wreaking havoc on my flow. Any tips on moving it without destroying it. I have thinned out the dead stuff on the bottom but the base is really thick. I am going to move it lower in my tank and sell...

    The garage holding system

    It is finally remodel time and the floors in the fish room need to be replaced. I have seen several folks "hold" their coral in rubbermaid containers in the garage with mixed results. I will be selling my current tank and building a similar size in gallons but a rimless tank and a little...

    t-5 bulb changing issue

    I just changed my t-5 bulbs. When I fired it up there were no issues for about 15 seconds and then it just went off I reset all the bulbs and now the top two bulbs will only fire for a second or so. I changed to my reserve ballast and the same thing. Can anyone help on this?
