    Better yet have an electrician up the wiring to your fish tank outlets to a thicker gauge and up the circuit breaker as well. You spend a couple grand on a fish tank I think a couple hundred on the wiring to ensure it doesn't go up in smoke is a good price. JMHO.

    Fish in filter

    Yeah just make sure to make two or more sponges so you can switch it out every couple of days to clean the sponge. At least that's my opinion.

    cut a piece of acrylic with teeth like a comb? Might help. I'm not familiar with the aquapods. Maybe a picture of the problem area? Tim

    ouch, talk to the seller and get your money back. If they don't refund open a complaint with PayPal. They are slow sure but they will eventually get you your money back. Tim

    Yaar. I like it. Maybe add a band or two of 1" wide black iron along the "hood" of the chest from front to back? Tim

    Simple desk top lamp?

    Yep then the ones Jennie pointed to should work fine. If you could find a way I would place two of those above your tank. JMO. Tim

    Nanocube has arrived..... but...

    Umm if you smelled burining plastic it could be simply the first time it was turned on or something a little worse, a burn out in the electronics. I would first see if a new light would fix the porblem (maybe the LFS will lend you one to see if it is the bulb). It seems wierd that the LEDs and...

    Zoos not openin'

    Hmm, maybe you could up the lighting so your zoas open up? I'll be using 80 watts on 10 gallons and that may not be enough for zoas to have great color. Maybe if I put them up higher. Let us know how the zoas are doing. Maybe in a couple of days they will open in your BF's tank. Tim

    Would like some input on my sump plan please.

    Using reefcentral's head loss calc I got 218GPH off the RIO1100, (didn't have the 1300 listed). I've looked at Melev's before but I'll check it out again. I would really like to not use the HOB as I want my stand to be small as possible and I will be squeezing in the 10g as it is. I will be...

    Would like some input on my sump plan please.

    I am a bit concerned about the flow in my sump. I have a 10g display and my sump is a 10g as well. I've drilled two holes in my display, one for a drain and the other for my return. I'm using 3/4" pvc on the drain and flex on the return with a T section. (the T section returns to a refuge in...

    This is a beautiful tank. Maybe you can find some of that trunk hardware at an antique store or thrift store. Are you going to put the Jolly Roger on the tank somewhere? Tim

    Simple desk top lamp?

    I wouldn't put the shrooms in with that. I would use a 50/50 bulb for the shrooms, but FOWLR should be fine. JMO. Tim
