i broke down and bought a refractometer from drsfoster and smith since they were only $39 and man im glad i did. i was amazed at how far off those hydrometer things were off. i thought my water was at 1.025 when it was at 1.033. OF course you got to look for a ATA .

780gph. The newly designed Quiet One Pumps are great for both fresh and salt water applications and can be used in either wet or dry applications. All models can be rotated on its side to fit directly into the Lifegard Module Filter System, eliminating the need for vertical and horizontal...

okay here is my plumbing pics. ill start at the bottom then work my way up. Of course i talked to incysor last night and it will all change but i said i would post what i did so here it is.

yeah, Im having a horrible week :burningup and this is adding on to it. incysor and sugar magnolia have been great. This tank has made almost want to just throw it out the dang window. I know some times people dont get on for a while so i was trying to get a wide opion. we all have different...

okay I have got to order a new pump today. to make a long story short my quiet one 3000 (780gph)is to big for my 20L. my overflow cant keep up. Right now my corals are in the tank with only PHs going. here are my choices i want any one and every one to give me their advice and opions. 1st Q-...

you like the quiet one 3000? I found mine to be to strong. my over flow cant keep up with it.

okay i got it set up but when i starting pumping water the tank just filled up with water and the overflow didnt flow right and the tank spilled over. any suggestions why? since i drilled the back top i just used a 90 pvc for my dorso like thing. could air be getting traped? the whole pvc goes...

:oops: didnt quiet read the watts. i havent ever heard of that either

i would start off with a short lighting period. then slowly extend the lighting period.

I voted #6. i like the even flow of zoa color with other corals throw in there. Its seems to have more of a nice flow.

If it was my tank i think i might have to actually go swimming in it! :mrgreen: I believe he has 2 other big tanks for a total of 3000 gallons.

nice. Ill try that tonight. what did you use to squish the pvc?
