Ok so I'm using a 10 gallon sump and wondering how many baffles I should use. Should I use one? That would have my skimmer be in same chamber as drain and pump in the other chamber... Would that be a problem? Or should I use 2 dividers and have pump in one chamber, skimmer in one, and drains in one? Thanks
Pending sale on all fish but the 5 domino damsels.. They are big for being damsels.. Looking for $25 for all five.. Great for cycling a tank or whatever
I'm trying to find someone who has complete setup to sell so I don't have to piece it together.. Looks like I might have to.. I'm only running 2-24" t5.. Only require workhorse 3.. Anyone wit complete lighting setup? ( reflectors, end caps, already wired, ballast) thanks
NEW PICS OF OVERFLOW.
Thanks to wanareef for building overflow and Matt new2saltwater for letting me use his glass hole saw.
When the hole saw went through, it chipped the glass alil bit.. would this be a problem besides water maybe leaking from bulkhead? I plan on putting alil bit of silicone around the bulkhead nut just incase.
is
finished painting background, stand, and tank.
just need to pick up overflow from wanareef.
question: will the 250watt halide be enough light for softies i have now? I am going to suppliment with 2- 24'' t5's but haven't found the right setup for now.
but would the single 250watt be ok?
thanks
I just added a lined puffer to my reef tank... I don't have shrimp or else those would be eaten.. But I do have snail and crabs.. But the puffer probably isn't big enough to eat them.. Idk though... I'll let us know how it works out.. He's pretty stressed right now
When I went to bed last night he was looking better... Haven't checked this morning yet. I had to run errands or I would have acclimated better.. I figured he was better off in tank then the bag for a couple hours..
Hi I just added a lined puffer to my tank earlier today.. Its just laying on the bottom flapping it's find fast and has blotchy skin. Water parameters are all fine that I know of. Corals and other fish are doing great. When I added him I only acclimated him for like 5 minutes... Floated bag, and added cup of my tank water to bag. Then released him. I also forgot to turn lights out!! Ha any ideas on this or normal? When I turn lights out and put blanket over tank to make it pitch black, he comes out and swims. He's just still getting used to tank right? Thanks
bump i need 24" bulbs, reflectors, end caps, wiring, and ballast. only really need a workhorse 3... anyone have one? or can post a site that has everything i need in a package for cheap? thanks
not that great.. cheap material.. thin plastic.. edges can be alil rough like someone homemade it.. had a couple scrapes and a small chip... none that effected performance though... cheap but works well.. i mean its 129.99 brand new... its great for the price.
I have 5 huge domino damsels like 3.5" long and 2.5" high...
and I also have 2 big eye soldier fish that are about 4.5" each..
let me know what you have for trade or pm if you would like to buy
thanks
