oops. sorry. didn't read the requirement. I just joined BAR recently and not qualified.

I would love to try one. Thanks.

PM sent. Thanks.

I would like to try these if any one have a frag to share in south bay. Thanks.

I would like to add some new color to my tank, if any one have a frag to share (in south bay). I promise not to sell these, but pass it on when they grow. Thanks.

yeah, u and Mr Ugly have mentioned that 3-5 times is good enough. My goal is to do minimal water splashing in refug without using filter socks, so trying to get close to 3 times. :-) The info you and others provide in this thread has been very helpful to me. Mag 3 and ehiem are my top two...

Thanks a lot for the info, didn't know about back pressure. I still would like to get GPH down to around 180-200, but I would definitely take a look at eheim. Thanks again. I really appreciate it.

I just have one final question regarding this subject, if you all don't mind. Will Maxi-jet 1200 be enough as my sump return pump? It is rate 300GPH at 0ft, but can't find the GPH rate at 4ft. Is MJ pump too small/weak for return pump? The reason I ask is because I want to avoid RIO pump, and...

Thanks.

Thanks, Mr Ugly. I will buy the lower GPH pump. So I should get rid of the sock as well so that plankton will not be collected in the sock correct? or turning off 5-10 mins off return pump during feeding time will be enough for plankton to be consumed by the corals? (so that I can keep using...

Thanks for your suggestion, Steve. Actually my current sock has holes cut off at the bottom. I did it because, the sock usually overflow after a week of usage, so I first started cutting small holes in the sock, and later just cut the bottom off. But my concern is that when I feed plankton, they...

anyone? Should I half the pump rate? Will 300 GPH at 0ft be too less?

Like I mentioned above, I have 60 gallon DT (my tank+stand height is 50") with 12 gallon 24x10x12 refugium (3 compartments with dividers). what GPH (at 0 ft) rate do you guys recommend I get? I don't know what is the turnover rate should be in the sump. Thanks for all your help, guys. Ken.

Hi, I tried making what you described, but air bubbles are still coming up to the surface strong enough that it is still splashing tiny drops of water around. how small/big should the holes be? The drill I was using was 1/4. I have a lot of smaller size drill, but don't know what size is...

the refugium is 24" long and 12" tall. I see what you are saying about how bubble in ur refugium are eliminated, but unfortunately, I can't fit it any refugium longer than 24 inches in my stand due to the design of the stand. Thanks for your input though.

I have Rio 1700 (rated 642 GPH at 0 ft) for return pump. Is that too much flow for 60 gallon DT with 12 gallon refugium? Thanks.

K, I will try that. Thanks.

I have a couple of questions that I have a hard time finding answers. I would really appreciate it if you guys can share your knowledge. - For those of you who use filter socks, how do you deal with issue that filter sock removing Phytoplankton and zooplankton that you feed to your corals? Is...

Thanks for the welcome, everyone. LeviTillie, I won't be able to make it on Oct 13th though. :-( Thanks for ur reminder. Regarding SFBAAPS, they are really great people, very friendly and helpful and I got a chance to try several aquatic plant species. Too bad I got bored with plants. :-)...

Hi everyone, Just joined BAR. My name is Ken, I live in Santa Clara. I am new to the saltwater hobby, (just started about three months ago) but been keeping freshwater fishes for a while. I started out thinking I will try FOWLR, but can't control myself not to keep corals. lol. I have a 60...
