just say that it's your birthday....hope you have a happy one. :hbd: :partyt :beer2: :alc:

ya think?...lol :razz:

FYI: Tim...the formula is up just a few posts in the thread, in case you needed it

Here's a pretty decent tutorial. I was planning on drilling my tank as well but found ways around it. I decided that it was too risky when all of the glass manufacturers wouldn't guarantee that it wouldn't get broken if they drilled it...

Shedd Aquarium...oh you wanted an LFS. :mrgreen:

yeah that's pretty much where I'm headed, except I'm not going to drill my tank. I'm going to try and build a HOB Overflow box. I talked with some of the plumbing guru's at talkingreef.com and they got me straightened out on what I need. Here's the pump that I'm looking at. Mag-Drive 9.5...

I have a few questions in regards to plumbing. I'm having a hard time grasping the concept of how to size the pump correctly along with the right size of pipe. Here is what I have planned and maybe someone can help ease my mind a bit. 29g display tank 10g refugium PVC Pipe (Ø is probably...

only took me 2 years... :lol: :mrgreen:

Well I have taken the first step and purchased a new tank. This one is 29g vs my old 20L. I was able to reuse quite a bit of equipment since I stayed with the same length of tank. Here's a list of the equipment that I'm running and my future plans. 29G (12W x 18H x 30L) 32lbs of rock (all...

nice pics of the tank. damn you'll have to chalk that one up as good luck. I'm sure that was scary as hell seeing a boat coming right for ya.

Well I learned something tonight. Tall tanks act so much differently to flow than the long tanks. I purchased my 29g tank tonight. I filled it up for a leak test and placed all of my power heads, filters and my (to be) AC20 fuge modded filter in place. All I can say is that if I have enough...

breath taking is all i can say. Btw what lenses are you using?

So far the only place that I have found (out of the links above) anyone stating that you need more than 10-20x's your volume was out of your thread on marinedepot.com. What strikes me more is that this is coming form someone that is suggesting that you perform "near 100% weekly water...

Those are great. I can actually relate to a few of those, especially the 5 different kinds of shrimp in the freezer.

Yes wait to use any buffers because the ammonia and nitrites can actually mask what your true pH is. PH is (if I remember correctly) temperature dependent as well so make sure that your sample is at ideal tank temps. Another way to kick start your tank is to use a piece of cocktail shrimp...

Sorry, I should have specified. I was speaking to Rescuediver19 when asking about the 690gph. Reefman...can you post a link that has info about the flow that you were describing? I can't recall any reference stating that you should aim for 40x's turnover. IMO that seems overkill. So for...

How big of a tank are you putting the 690gph in? Unless you are running a tank over 30g, (or it's bare bottom) you will end up with one hell of a dust storm. In most tanks with a sand substrate, you can probably push 20x's your tank size without stirring the sand too much. You shouldn't need...

nice setup :D
