    Suggested Return Pump for 29 Gallon?

    Thank you, littlereefers. I will check out the Sicce Syncra 2.0 pump. Controllable would be pretty cool, but would definitely increase the cost.

    20 gallons isn't bad for a tank of that size!

    Suggested Return Pump for 29 Gallon?

    Those Ecotech Vectras look really cool... would definitely be an ($$$) upgrade!

    Making Lemonade - Mike's Lagoon

    great way to deal with a difficult situation! I love shallow tanks. Just curious about the evaporation... can you estimate the number of gallons you have to replace each week? My 29 gallon tank (with no canopy and a 10 gallon sump) has a surprising amount of evaporation.

    Suggested Return Pump for 29 Gallon?

    Thank you for the suggestion, NanoCrazed. I bought two Jebao powerheads in the past, and both completely died within several months (while the Koralias and Vortech have lasted for many years). I'm glad you have had success with a Jebao pump.

    Suggested Return Pump for 29 Gallon?

    Hello BAR friends. Many years ago, I converted a glass 29 gallon freshwater tank to a reef tank. I did this by painting the back of the rear glass blue, having a friend drill a hole in the back, adding a drain, with a flexible black hose leading to a 10-gallon sump. I have been using a Maxi...

    Just bought new dead live rock. Best way to clean for pests and misc things?

    I'm learning from this thread, since I recently removed a couple of rocks from my tank that had hard-to-remove algae. I soaked them in a strong bleach solution for about a week, then blasted them with the hose nozzle, as Jon suggested. I left them out in the sun over the weekend, and they have...

    Sump help (on my upcoming 40B)

    I recommend a divider if you plan to use macro algae. Otherwise, you can just keep live rock with a skimmer in the middle compartment.

    Gimmito's 450 gal L-shaped tank

    Jim, your tank looks beautiful! Clearly thriving. The copperband is a great addition. So glad the purple, desjardini and hippo tangs are getting along with the other fish in your tank. How do you keep the sand so clean?

    The tangs look very happy in your frag tank! I look forward to visiting them and seeing your system now that it's fully set up and running.
