    Jgraz's Finally a Proper Tank 90 Upgrade

    Bob, I run Syncra pumps on both of my tanks. I have a 3.0, 3.5, and 5.0 and I love them. They are great pumps and if you want to know more about them, PM me or we can start a new thread so we don't hijack this one.

    Tank stand

    The same foam in Steve's re-re-build thread. You asked what the foam is for, it helps with any high spots or pressure points on the bottom of the tank. Try to shim the stand under one of the corners that you have the gap/rocking. Shims usually will help square and level the stand and the foam...

    Tank stand

    You should never shim between a tank and the stand. This is when a piece of foam between the tank and stand would help.

    My 65G

    Looks like the last time I checked in, was back in March and since then, Fotki no longer allows hot links so all my pictures in this thread are toast. :( That is what the tank looked like back in March. Since then I had one tank relocation and a few temp issues but I will get to that in a...

    Anyone headed to the DVRC swap sunday?

    You will have to let me know how you like the BRS 2-part setup. I was thinking about getting one myself.

    Acans colors fading?

    Looks like they are turning orange just like the ones in Mike's (mnat) AI lit 57 did. Maybe someone with LEDs and Acans can chime in.

    What size Mp for a 40B

    I have 1 MP-10 in my 40B FOWLR and it really moves some water (and sand at max RPMs)! Having two MP-10's at opposite ends would be INSANE flow in a 40B and create great random flow. If you do two MP-10's or one MP-40 do not have sand in the tank!!! My one MP-10 is 3" below the waterline, any...

    Splitting overflow and return manifold

    I'm not a big fan of restricting any part of the drain (easy way to cause a flood) unless you are using a Herbie overflow. When you do a middle return pump and have dual overflows, it's easy to have one drain to the skimmer and one drain to the fuge. If you do the pump in the middle, but only...

    Starting Bio-Pellets

    They look the same because they both have to fit in the same canister, but they are in fact different.

    And so the war begins

    It's a constant, on going, peace keeping effort in our tanks. As much as it stinks when a coral gets stung, it's equally as interesting to see the outcome. The fact that some corals will eject their digestive tissue to basically eat competing corals is crazy. Over the years ive learned who...

    Lowering Nitrates without a skimmer

    How much are you currently feed everyday? If you are over feeding and don't have the snails/hermits in your cleanup crew to eat the extra food, it will breakdown and send nitrates through the roof.

    Lowering Nitrates without a skimmer

    Start by feeding every other day. We also need to look at what are you feeding and how much? Is it an all in one tank or is it a standard tank with a HOB, and how many gallons is it?
