    Algae scrubber who uses one and why

    I did this on a previous tank and it worked incredibly well. Just needed a scraped up piece of plastic mounted in the sump near a light source. https://www.njreefers.org/threads/diy-easy-cheap-algae-scrubber.98113/ I also did an upflow that I'll look for the links for.

    Bare Bottom to Sand?

    If you're worried about a spike, I wouldn't sweat it. I've done both bare bottom and sand. I prefer sand, looks nice, give the animals something to play in, etc... I've always used special grade reef, aragonite based. I put it in a 5g bucket, fill it halfway with tap water, stir the c$%^ out of...

    7g stand and tank build

    Well. Let's start with the stand. I have zero to no experience in this, and I'm going to do it by ear. I found some old luber in the garage rafters, think its 1x2 or so. Found about 6-8 8' pieces, so theres my frame. I'm guessing I need a frame. So I made these, 24"x12"... Then I took 4...

    Octo 110 skimmer questions

    Had the 110SS for a similar sized tank, fantastic skimmer. As Hockey said, make sure to turn the skimmer off for 24hrs after dosing, those bacteria will make the skim go nuts (and get skimmed out). To set - Pop the collection cup off the skimmer and adjust so the bubbles stay level at the neck...
