Interested in bulbs and reflectors

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

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.

thank you pnkrcklives

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

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

I had pc's on my 125... didnt like them all that much... wanna try the t5

I cant have anything taller than the 12" high... 18" high is too tall for the stand.. I already tried.. cant get it in and if i cut some stuff to get it in... it would be hard to clean and get into.. 10 gallon is really my only choice besides custom acrylic..

Couple questions: Would one 250watt halide be ok lighting by itself? I dont think i can fit both 250's in the canopy along with everything else. Is a 10 gallon sump big enough to handle flow when pump turns off? Im going to be adding one 30" t5 in the hood as well.. probably a purple actinic.. is one 30" t5 enough to supplliment the halide? The halide is 15k

well... moving my 75 reef from the living room into a 54 corner in the bedroom.. thought i would start a build thread.. What I have now: 54 undrilled corner tank and stand 2- 250 watt single ended halide fixtures... some LED's for moonlight. Built a canopy. What I need: 10 gallon sump drill tank and add overflow plumbing I will be using pump, heater, skimmer, and powerhead from the 75 gallon. pump is a quiet one 2200. skimmer is a sca-302.

well tank is all up and running now... got my skimmer fixed... livestock list: Kenya tree lavender mushroom condi anemone GSP xenia some type of leather then the new frags I got from Val ( Jawfish) are a green mushroom, and lots of polyps! Im not exactly sure on names.. and alil more gps! everything is doing great and looks very healthy! 2 soldierfish large panther grouper large maroon clown and 5 domino damsels PICS:

pics of the t5 lighting please

That's a good idea!!

So I just did some water check son my 125... It's been alil neglected while I put together the 75.... I haven't not done a water change in a month or so.. Tank is super dirty with all kinds of algae and cyano.. Probably cause I used tap water with condition... I have rodi unit now... And my skimmer isn't pulling much out.... By my water parameters are about the same as they were a month ago! Makes me happy lol I'll be filling 75 with 50 percent new rodi water and 50 percent old water.

Sweet thanks! I was actually going to use a tool I have or a spoon I hear works.. But we will see haha

30 minutes said it was fine... And googled it and people had success with that. 24 hours to fully cure... But just fine after 30... Another question, since I'm waiting for stuff to come in th mail anyways, I was going to put some silicone around the seals... I have like a $150 gift card to homedepot... So I was going to get it there and use caulking gun... Is this safe to use? I heard some people have had success with it. http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100091111&R=100091111

So ordering a Coralife dual timer strip..... And a box of salt... The last things I need to finish the build... I just did my plumbing with hat christies red hot blue glue... I'm wondering when can I fill tank again for freshwater leak test?

Awesome thanks!!

Yes I get it now.... How does it check valve get clogged? It's on my return line... Water is being pumped through it... I don't know how algae or anything could get into it... What would clog it?

I'm sorry to hear that as well... I'm sure I can get ahold of him soon.. When I called, they said he would be in on Wednesday... I will just wait until then.. That's ok.. Thank you

I've called seahorse a few times..
