There is one external over flow. Mrx did not think of that. Now I'm nervous using the tank.

That was a good discussion. I agree if only changing water no real value in reuse. However, what if you clean the sand bed during a WC? Will that make a difference in reducing nitrate, phosphate, ammonia?

Matt, still need to build the offuce. Which is idiosyncrasies than the tank build. Just trying to get a plan in place to avoid problems or delays.

So if two pumps how does this work? What hole is the drain?

Justifying to by a jump on this build. Not sure how to plumb this tank. Any help appreciated. Been told to cap the bottom 4 holes but seems crazy if I can use them. Searching I could not find this setup. So should I use two pumps? 1 for sump and 2nd external for closed loop? Or One big pump in...

Well, my chili pepper coral that I had for about 4 years is almost gone. I Started to turn a little brown/red and now completely that way overnight. A few green section on edge but not much to salvage. Started as a small 2" frag. It free to a little over 6" long andv3" wide. I just ordered...

Was about to post similar. :thumbsup:

Since the seahorses thread is up and many good conversations something crossed my mind. Why do we perform water changes? The answer I think depends if your tank is reef or fish only. If a reef we want to have clean water, no nitrate, phosphate, ammonia and to replenish trace elements. If fish...

John, thanks for the cualerpa.

Sorry to hear. Keep an eye on the others. Check your build for any sharp items or hitch hikers.
