Looking into purchasing a dosing pump to help with my Kalk water. I am looking at the following brands. Please give me your input and which one you use. They are close in price, but I am not sure on the quality. Aqaumedic and Drews

No more problems with overflow, now the micro bubbles. If it not one thing is something else.

I installed my new sump yesterday and my new Octo 160. I am getting a large amount of mirco bubbles in the tank. I unplugged the skimmer and it did not solve the issue. Is it possible that the line-loc's are sucking in a little air? They are not fully submerged. Also how long till the skimmer...

After a long afternoon the new sump is up and running. Had to make a stand for the skimmer to put it a 8". Did some cleaning up of the pipes and just took my time. Here are a few pictures. Enjoy.. ;D Before: After: Still to add is some T5 lights over the refuge to make it double as a frag...

I would remove the bioballs and replace them with LR. As for the other two holes the sump has I would plug them for a later use if needed. You can always make a small refuge and the run a line from it into your sump. If you look at my tank page you will see what I am talking about. Good luck...

The koralias are doing there job, but I think that the options with the vortech would be great. As I am going to stepping up to a SPS dominated tank.

Lets get back on track. Tank is 48x13x18 should a mp40 cover it? I like the idea of just dosing 2 part and kalk with dosing pumps, which brand pump can do the 2 part and kalk. Litermeter?

Yes IOU's ::) I work for the state and hear all the rumors. Luckly we have a good Union and they cant give them to us. Already went to court and won that last time. I agree I should claim more so I get less back at the end of the year.

The time of year has come again and tax season will be right around the corner. I usally get some back and was thinking about putting some into the tank. Options: 1)The new Reefkeeper Lite 3 looks like a great deal and would be a great addition to my tank. Yes or No, input.. 2)A Vortec MP40...

The refuge tank is 19x12x18. So do you think that a Nova Extreme(1136) 2x18W would be enough for the frag and to keep the mirco happy. Or should I just go with a 24" retrokit and hang in over the tank.

I would like to try this DBTC. I have two other AOG, they look similar, but not these.

Do we need to pick a number?

Is anyone here running T5's over there refuge. I ask because I am think of doing so and then placing a small egg crate to house a few frags. So it would be a refuge/frag tank. Please post you pros/cons of the ideas. My sump set-up is one my tank thread.

I did not make them. I made the design and Gary Plastics in Santa Cruz did the hard work.

Well the new sump was completed today and the new skimmer was on the door when I got back. :o I have included a few pictures of the new sump. It is two tanks that fit together with a overflow. The plastic place did a great job. I can add water in a day and will run a test. Then next week it...

When I lived in the foothills, there used to be a nice pet store named "Whites". It was large and when I did a salt water tank for class that is were we got the live rock, etc. This was back 1997.

I will take a shot at it. #400

Dyngoe hit the nail on the head. Dont waste your money. T5 is the way to go. I had PC's and they are like a candle compaired to a bonfire. I went from 4x65 PC to 4x54 T5 and the light diffirence is crazy.

I would be willing to take one.

My daughter really wants to get a shrimp. Will there be issues with the 4 emerald crabs we currently have. Looking at a basic cleaner shrimp as them seem to fit the bill. Reef safe.
