To help feed it some take a pop bottle and build a cage (cut bottom off) over the coral and dump in mysis so it can eat unmolested.

You want to make sure that your pumpt does NOT exceed the overflow capacity of your tank. Other than that a lot of people aim for 3-5 times turn over. (90 gallon tank = 270 - 450 gph pump after head pressure calculated in). Do a google search for head calculator or pump calculator (unless we...

Well I would love to see some pictures when you get it going. I am curious how you plan to have the water leave the display and have the sump return it at the same rate if everything is going to be plumbed from the bottom.

Yep it's a 90 gallon. Well I found a use for my old 55 gallon and that really awkward space under my stairs. :) don't mind the tape...thats an older mark for water level. I just finished my ATO unit and will be topping out my sump to the max so I should have about 140 gallons of water in the...

If I have my minds eye ok it should work, do you happen to know the GPH on the output with the head pressure you would have? Just my two cents but if you do this I would drill the tank twice if not three times. Once or twice for overflow and one bulkhead for the return. (just cleaner looking...

I personally don't use this nor have I seen it but I did some research and this site gave me a bit of insight: http://www.thekrib.com/Filters/scrubber.html#0 But it generally sounds like a good idea. I can't help you on the scrubber, but I use a macro algae in my refuge and it sounds like it...

Can you take some photos? This is interesting. Bizarre, but interesting. I can't think of anything that would cause water level to just rise like that. I am not familiar with your setup. Are there any external sources of water? Auto top off, sump, or refugium? Temps stable night and day?

I know Ed. :) Man your tank has grown so much! I love your photos.

Well the timing is important. I'm not sure what is causing it either. I'm pretty sure the mass of the water isn't great enough to be affected, but something has to be causing it. It the tank on carpet or a hard surface?

great tank!

Go slow though. :)

Which powerhead do you have? Would this help? http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+4588+11363&pcatid=11363

Hey! Don't demean the crew! :lol: :razz: They do real work, not like those lazy fishes. :cool1:

Diffuse your current stream. I use Koralia power heads that have a output that is not in a stream. If you have something like the maxi jets try pointing it higher and against a wall (or rock) in your aquarium to break the stream up.

I'm in for sure :) Just now to get my crew together and smiling.

I love that hammer coral!

Dunno. I would like to find out though. I was thinking about getting an arrow crab.

Phosphates should be as close to zero as possible.

WOW! The torch hasn't gotten out and slapped your cat yet? I thought those were very aggressive corals. Beautiful tank by the way.

Do those cameras have the ability to manually focus? All the cameras in my house are point and shot. Thus I am constantly trying to get the darn things to focus on a small object in my tank ... and failing.
